Someone donated a camera to our senior center but no one has the code to install it. How can we get a code to make it work?

The Whistler WBU-900 camera requires an Activation Code to function. The product may not work without one. To obtain the Activation Code, check the product packaging or manual. If it is not included, contact the seller or manufacturer for assistance.
