Guide 1 — Camera & Installation

I. Statement

1. Though we made great efforts to make the manual complete and accurate, there could still be some discrepancies due to the product's timely updates.
2. The products and manual are subject to change without prior notice.
3. The content in this manual is only for reference and is subject to the final product.

II. Safety Caution

1. Please do not put any liquid container on the product.
2. Please use the product in a ventilated environment and prevent blocking the vents.
3. Please use the included power supply with the product to prevent damage to the product.
4. Please use the product under its standard working temperature and humidity.
5. All man-made damage and the following terms and condition are outside the scope of free warranty:
   • A) Accident, negligence, natural disaster.
   • B) Inappropriate environment and condition, such as improper power supply, wrong working temperature, lightning stroke.
   • C) Already beyond guarantee period.

III. Installation Angle for AI Alarm Camera

The detect angle for AI camera is about 90 degrees, and the detection distance is within 8 meters. The recommended installation height is not higher than 3m/10ft, and the recommended angle is transversely-mounted with the detection area. (Make the detection area a sector area like the picture shows.)

When people transversely cross the 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 AI Alarm Camera with Floodlight

The camera has a built-in AI chip — you will get an instant alert from the phone app or email when any suspicious activity is detected. Shine a light on suspicious activity with the AI- and PIR-activated floodlight, and record colored video for the unexpected activity. Video image is black/white when there is no movement in the darkness. (The floodlight will NOT turn on at day time.)

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 detected and will then allow color video recording for the unexpected activity.
