小贴士

请确保要安装摄像头的墙壁或表面平整。为便于安装，建议使用钻孔机。水泥墙可能不适合安装。

Please do not install the camera in a position that nears the heat source, such as the air conditioning outdoor unit and Kitchen smoke outlet.

Try to avoid installing the product on the side of a lively road. Frequentpedestrians and vehicles will keep waking up the camera, resulting in frequent alarm messages and extremely fast power consumption.

Please do not install the camera in a position away from the router. The product needs a good Wi-Fi signal to work well.

When installing the camera, it’s not suggested to make the PIR sensor vertically face the moving object. Otherwise, it may not detect the motion events. It is suggested that the angle between the PIR sensor and the detected object be larger than 15 degrees.

6.2 Device share

The steps for sharing your cameras with other users:

1) Invite your friends to download and install the “CloudEdge” APP and log in.

2) Click on the “Device Share” icon to watch the operation video and follow the steps to complete device sharing.

Tip: When sharing, please ensure that your APP account is registered in the same region. Otherwise, you will not be able to share successfully.

7. SD Card Record

The product doesn’t include an SD card. If you need an SD card to store files, please buy it by yourself.

SD card requirements:

• 1) it is recommended to use San Disk, Samsung, and other brand cards;
• 2) Support 8-128GB capacity;
• 3) it is recommended to use a standard Class 10 SD card;
• 4) Only the FAT32 format is supported.

Note: Insert the memory card into the SD card slot of the device, and the device will automatically start saving videos.

How do you watch the videos on an SD card?

Method 1: Click the “History” or “Video Play” button of the alarm information icon in the APP to enter the video playback interface. Drag the timeline or select the alarm point to find the corresponding time period record.

Method 2: Insert the SD card into the computer and convert the video format to MP4 via 3rd-party. When the video is in MP4 format, you can directly watch it on the computer.

8. PIR motion detection settings

Enter the application-“Parameter Setting”-Motion Detection” interface.

Warm Tip:

When you encounter the following problems in using this camera, you can adjust the motion detection sensitivity to solve them.

请注意：

1) It is recommended that you set the alarm sensitivity to levels 8-10 if you have a missed or delayed alarm frequently.

2) it is advised that you set the alarm sensitivity to level 1-3 if having a false alarm
frequently.

3) it is recommended that you adjust the sensitivity to a lower level. Alarm sensitivity and detecting distance from high level are too far to easily false triggering. In winter, it easily causes false alarms because of the bigger temperature range. Also, the PIR alarm will be interfered with by weather and temperature.

4) it is recommended that you adjust the sensitivity to a higher level. in summer, it causes missed or delayed alarms because of a smaller temperature range.

5) if you notice the poor performance of motion detection in the night environment, try to turn off “Night Detection.”

9. Battery Management

9.1 Charging the camera

it is recommended to use a 5V/2A power adapter for charging. Please use the USB cable in the package to charge this camera.

Note: if a 5V/2A power adapter is not available, other sizes of 5V power heads can also be charged.

How do you judge whether the charging is successful?

The device’s charging indicator light is red, which means it is charging. A blue light means that charging is complete. It will take approximately 10 hours or more to charge fully.

What should I do if the charge fails?

1)Determine whether the power adapter is good; try another one.

2) Determine whether the USB charging cable is good; try another one.

3) The charging indicator may be defective; please check the charging condition of the phone APP

4) Determine whether the charging port of the device is not in good contact with the USB charging cable.

5) The device has a low-temperature charging protection module; please don’t charge the device at low temperatures.

6)Contact customer service: [email protected].

9.2 Battery life

If the device does not detect a moving object, the device will enter sleep mode, reducing its power consumption.

If the device detects a moving object, it quickly wakes up, starts within 1 second, and takes a screenshot with the recorded video.

Warm tip: When the temperature is below -20 °C, the battery may enter self-protection mode, which causes the camera to shut down automatically. But if the temperature rises, the battery will automatically return to its normal state.

At low temperatures, if you need to charge this camera, please place it at home for several hours first. At room temperature, the self-protection mode of the battery will automatically be shut off to charge this camera safely.

Why the battery life of my device is poor?

A. Please check whether the number of alarms is too frequent because the working time of the device determines the battery life. The more frequent PIR wake-ups, the faster the battery consumes due to the longer working time if it is recommended to lower the motion detection sensitivity of the device appropriately and set the alarm interval and alarm time plan. Note: Outdoor air conditioning units, moving cars, and passing pedestrians will cause frequent alarms. Please adjust the angle of the device to avoid these objects.)

B. In cold weather, the battery capacity will be reduced, which will affect the endurance of the device.

C. Contact customer service: [email protected].
