Operating Instructions

1. Live View and Recording

Access live video streams through the GENBOLT app. You can manually initiate recordings or configure automatic recording based on motion detection. The camera records in 1080p high definition.

2. AI Human Detection

The camera utilizes AI human detection technology to accurately identify human shapes, significantly reducing false alarms triggered by animals, vehicles, or environmental factors like snow and rain. When a human is detected, the camera can automatically track their movement within the surveillance area.

A dog is also visible in the foreground, illustrating how the system differentiates between humans and other moving objects, reducing false alarms from snow, rain, insects, fog, or car lights.

3. Smart Color Night Vision

The camera features smart color night vision. In low-light conditions, it can automatically switch to color mode when motion is detected, providing clearer and more detailed nighttime footage. The three high-brightness LEDs can be programmed to activate based on a schedule or motion trigger.

4. Two-Way Audio & Deterrence

With a built-in microphone and speaker, the camera supports two-way audio, allowing you to communicate with visitors or deter intruders remotely via the app. You can also customize siren sounds (e.g., dog barking) to activate upon motion detection, providing an active deterrent.
