5.3 Night Vision Modes
The camera offers three distinct night vision modes:

- Full Color Night Vision: When the camera detects movement or an alarm is triggered, its white LED lights illuminate, providing a full-color surveillance picture even at night.

5.4 Humanoid Detection & Alarm
The camera's AI-powered humanoid detection accurately identifies human movement, minimizing false alarms from pets or environmental factors. When a human is detected in the shooting area, the camera will:

- Environmental Protection: While the camera is IP66 waterproof, extreme weather conditions can still impact its lifespan. Consider additional protective measures if installed in areas prone to severe weather.
7. Troubleshooting
- Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi:
- Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. This camera does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi.
- Verify that the Wi-Fi signal strength is adequate at the camera's installation location.
- Double-check the Wi-Fi password for any typos.
- If connection issues persist, try resetting the camera to factory settings by long-pressing the reset button (usually for 8 seconds) and then attempting the setup process again.
- No alarm notifications:
- Check if Humanoid Detection is enabled in the app settings.
- Ensure app push notifications are enabled for the iCsee app on your mobile device.
- Verify that the alarm siren and white LED illumination features are activated in the camera settings.
- Poor night vision quality:
- Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions.
- Check if the IR-Cut filter is switching correctly between day and night modes.
- For full-color night vision, ensure the white LEDs are enabled and functioning.
- Camera not moving (PTZ):
- Verify that the camera has a stable power supply.
- Check the app for any error messages or connection issues.
- Ensure there are no physical obstructions preventing movement.
- Two-way audio not working:

8. User Tips
- Correct Power Supply is Crucial: Always use the provided 5V2A power adapter. Using a different power supply can permanently damage the camera.
- Utilize Daemon Position: Configure a "daemon position" in the app. This allows the camera to automatically return to a preferred monitoring angle after tracking a person, ensuring continuous coverage of your most important areas.
- Creative Alarm Use: Experiment with the DIY alarm voice feature. Recording a custom message, such as "You are being recorded!" or a dog barking sound, can be a highly effective deterrent for potential intruders.
- Optimal Wi-Fi Placement: For best performance, ensure the camera is installed within a strong 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal range. Avoid placing it too far from your router or near sources of interference.
