5. Operating Instructions

5.1 PTZ Remote Control

The camera head is rotatable, offering a 355° pan and 120° tilt. You can control the camera's movement directly through the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app to get a comprehensive view of your surroundings, reducing blind spots.

5.2 Two-Way Audio

Utilize the built-in microphone and speaker to engage in two-way communication. This feature allows you to speak to visitors, deter intruders, or communicate with family members remotely through the app.

5.3 Motion Detection & Auto Tracking

The camera features advanced human motion detection and auto-tracking. When motion is detected, the camera will automatically track the moving object, record video, and send real-time alert notifications to your smartphone. This system is designed to reduce false alarms caused by environmental factors like insects, flying objects, rain, or leaves.

5.4 Night Vision

The camera is equipped with both infrared lights and white LED lights, providing two modes of night vision:

• Infrared Night Vision: Provides clear black and white images in extremely dark environments.
• Full-Color Night Vision: Activates the white LED lights to display vivid, full-color images even at night, extending visibility up to 20 meters (65 feet).

5.5 Video Storage

The camera supports two storage options for your video recordings:

• Micro SD Card Storage: Insert a Class-10 Micro SD card (up to 128GB, not included) into the designated slot. Old recordings will be automatically overwritten by new ones. Ensure the SD card is formatted to default mode before use.
• Cloud Storage: The camera offers cloud storage services, including one month of free service. This provides a secure backup for your recordings. Video and account encryption with unique technology ensures your privacy, even if the camera or SD card is stolen.

5.6 Remote Access and Multi-User Sharing

Access your camera's live feed and recorded videos from anywhere at any time via the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app. You can also share access to the camera with family members, allowing multiple users to monitor the property simultaneously.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the camera lens and body with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• SD Card Management: If using an SD card, it is recommended to format it periodically through the app to maintain optimal recording performance. Remember that formatting will erase all stored data.
• Firmware Updates: Regularly check the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app for available firmware updates. Keeping your camera's firmware up-to-date ensures access to the latest features, security patches, and performance improvements.
• Environmental Protection: Although the camera is IP66 waterproof, ensure it is installed in a location that minimizes direct exposure to extreme weather conditions for prolonged durability.

7. Troubleshooting

• Camera not connecting via QR code scan: If the camera fails to connect after scanning the QR code, try resetting the Wi-Fi bulb camera. This often resolves connection issues and speeds up the pairing process.
• SD card recording issues: Ensure you are using a Class-10 Micro SD card. While the camera supports up to 128GB, some users have reported better compatibility with 64GB cards. If issues persist, try formatting the card in the app or testing with a different Class-10 card.
• Power supply clarification: The camera is designed for E27 light sockets and operates on mains electricity (e.g., 110-240V AC depending on region). It is not a 5V DC device.
• Camera dimensions: The camera measures approximately 17cm (6.69 inches) in length and 7.2cm (2.83 inches) in width. Please verify these dimensions against your installation space if you have specific size constraints.
• Frequent false alarms: Adjust the motion detection sensitivity settings within the app. Ensure the camera is positioned to minimize detection of irrelevant movements (e.g., tree branches, small animals).
• Poor night vision quality: Ensure the camera lens is clean and unobstructed. Check if the night vision mode is set correctly in the app (infrared or full-color).

8. User Tips

• Network Stability: For optimal performance and uninterrupted streaming, ensure your 2.4G or 5G Wi-Fi network is stable and provides a strong signal to the camera's installation location.
• Regular Updates: Periodically check the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app for firmware updates. These updates often include performance enhancements, new features, and security improvements.
• Strategic Placement: When installing, consider placing the camera to cover primary entry points or high-traffic areas for effective surveillance. The PTZ function allows for flexible monitoring after installation.
• Storage Management: If using an SD card, consider setting up a regular schedule to review and back up important footage, as older recordings are automatically overwritten. Cloud storage offers an alternative for continuous backup.
• Privacy Settings: Familiarize yourself with the app's privacy settings, especially when sharing access with others, to ensure your data remains secure.
