4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Dual Lens and Dual Screen Monitoring

The camera features a dual-lens system, providing two distinct video feeds within the iCSee app. One lens offers fixed-point monitoring, while the other is a PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera for dynamic surveillance. This allows you to monitor two different areas simultaneously, effectively functioning as two cameras in one.

4.2 Pan & Tilt Control

The PTZ lens can rotate 270° horizontally (Pan) and 90° vertically (Tilt). You can control the camera's movement directly from the iCSee app to view different angles of your monitored area.

  • Infrared Vision: Uses infrared LEDs for black and white night vision.
  • Double Light Alert: Automatically illuminates white lights upon detecting movement, providing a visual deterrent and full-color recording.
