4. Setup Guide
The JOOAN Wireless Security Camera System is designed for a simple plug-and-play setup. Cameras are pre-paired with the NVR at the factory, so no complex configuration is needed for initial local viewing.
4.1 Initial System Connection
- Connect NVR to Power: Plug the NVR's power adapter into the NVR and then into a power outlet.
- Connect NVR to Display: Connect the NVR to a monitor or TV using an HDMI or VGA cable.
- Connect Cameras to Power: Plug each camera's power adapter into the camera and then into a power outlet.
- Wait for Auto-Connection: The cameras will automatically connect to the NVR. You should see live video feeds appear on your monitor within minutes.
- Connect USB Mouse: Plug the included USB mouse into the NVR's USB port for system navigation.

4.2 Remote Viewing Setup (EseeCloud App)
To view your cameras remotely on your smartphone or PC, you need to connect the NVR to your router and use the EseeCloud application.
- Connect NVR to Router: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the NVR's WAN port to your internet router.
- Download EseeCloud App: Download the free "EseeCloud" app from your smartphone's app store (iOS or Android).
- Add Device: Open the app, register an account, and add your NVR by scanning the Cloud ID QR code displayed on your monitor (found in Network Setup).
- Live View: Once added, you can view live feeds and playback recordings from anywhere with an internet connection.

5. Operation Guide
5.1 Live View and Playback
After initial setup, you can view live footage directly on your connected monitor. The 1TB hard drive allows for continuous 24/7 recording for over 30 days with 8 cameras. You can easily access recorded footage for playback.
- Local Playback: Use the USB mouse to navigate the NVR interface on your monitor to select specific dates and times for playback.
- Remote Playback: Access recorded videos through the EseeCloud app on your smartphone or PC from anywhere.

5.2 AI Human Motion Detection & Alerts
The system features advanced AI human detection technology, which distinguishes human shapes from animals, objects, or environmental factors like leaves in the breeze. This significantly reduces false alarms.
- Customizable Zones: Set specific motion detection areas for each camera to focus on critical zones.
- Alerts: Receive instant notifications via NVR buzzer, email alerts, or push notifications to your EseeCloud app when human motion is detected.
Figure 7: Illustrates how AI human detection works and the types of alerts received.
5.3 One-Way Audio Function
Each camera is equipped with a microphone, allowing you to hear the sound from the monitoring scene while viewing live footage. This feature enhances surveillance by providing audio context to visual events.
Figure 8: Shows the audio recording capability of the cameras.
6. Advanced Features
6.1 Signal Cascade Technology
To address potential weak signal issues due to distance or obstacles, the system supports camera cascaded technology. You can set one IP camera closer to the NVR as a repeater to receive signals from cameras that are farther away. This ensures stable video transmission.
- Signal Boost: Improves signal strength for cameras installed at longer distances or across multiple floors.
- Free Extension Antenna: One extension antenna is included to further strengthen the signal for cameras with weak reception.

6.2 H.265+ Video Compression
This advanced video encoding standard effectively controls the video stream and reduces the video bit rate. Compared to H.264, H.265+ provides a smoother viewing experience and saves more than half of the hard drive space, allowing for longer recording periods.
Figure 10: Shows the storage efficiency of H.265+ compression.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your security system:
- Clean Lenses: Periodically clean camera lenses with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and smudges that can affect image clarity.
- Check Connections: Ensure all power and network cables are securely connected to prevent interruptions.
- Software Updates: Check for firmware updates for the NVR and cameras via the EseeCloud app or JOOAN's official website to ensure the latest features and security patches.
- Hard Drive Health: Monitor the NVR's hard drive health through the system settings to prevent data loss.
- Power Supply: Ensure stable power supply to both NVR and cameras. Avoid using unapproved power adapters.
