Floodlight IP Camera — User Manual

The YESKAMO PIR Motion Activated Alarm Camera with Floodlight is a Wi-Fi camera with a built-in PIR sensor and floodlights. When the camera catches any suspicious activity in its detection area, you will get an alert message through the phone or a siren alarm from the camera side. At night, the floodlight will also automatically switch on when any suspicious activity is detected, and color vision will then be enabled to film any unexpected movement. The built-in microphone and speaker let you hear and speak to the people on your property.

III. Installation Angle for PIR Alarm Camera

The detection angle for the PIR sensor is about 110 degrees, and the detection distance is within 8 meters. So the recommended installation height is not higher than 3–4 meters (3m/10ft will be better), and the recommended angle is transversely-mounted with the PIR detection area. (Make the detection area a sector area like the picture shows.)

When people transversely cross the PIR detection area, as the picture above, the camera will detect the movement sooner. When people go straight toward the camera, as the picture above, the PIR sensor will not be so sensitive.

IV. About the PIR Wi-Fi Camera with Floodlight

This alarm camera has a built-in PIR sensor and floodlights. When the camera catches any suspicious activity in its detection area, you will get an alert through the phone or camera. A shine light on suspicious activity with a PIR-activated ultra-bright floodlight and record colored video for unexpected activity at night. Video image is black/white when there is no movement in the darkness.

1. The camera works with or without an NVR recorder. The PIR alarm camera can be used as a standalone Wi-Fi camera, which you can view directly on the phone app; or you can add the PIR Camera to a YESKAMO NVR recorder as a standard NVR kit.
2. The camera has a built-in PIR sensor and motion sensor — you will get an instant phone app alert and/or siren alarm when any suspicious activity is detected.
3. The camera has built-in IR LEDs and floodlight LEDs. The IR LED will automatically switch on when ambient light is insufficient and will create clear black/white videos. The floodlight will come on automatically (in the darkness) ONLY when any suspicious activity is caught on camera and will then allow color video recording for the unexpected activity. (The floodlight will NOT turn on at day time.)
