Operating Instructions
PIR Motion Detection and Alerts
The camera features a highly sensitive Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor. When the PIR sensor detects the temperature of a human body, it automatically triggers recording and sends real-time alerts to your smartphone via the CloudEdge app. This ensures you are immediately notified of any detected activity. You can adjust the PIR detection sensitivity within the app to minimize false alarms.

Two-Way Audio
Communicate directly through your camera using the built-in microphone and high-power speaker. Through the CloudEdge app, you can listen to your surroundings and speak to visitors or deter intruders from anywhere. Simply press and hold the intercom key in the app to speak.
Night Vision
The camera automatically activates its infrared (IR) night vision mode when ambient light is low. This provides clear black and white images up to 50 feet, ensuring continuous surveillance even in complete darkness without missing any details.
Video Recording and Storage
Motion-triggered videos are saved to a micro SD card (up to 128GB, not included) or to the optional paid cloud storage service (a 7-day free trial is available). You can view all recorded videos at any time through the CloudEdge application on your mobile phone and save clips to your local phone storage.
Multi-User Access
Share viewing access of your camera with family members or trusted individuals by scanning a QR code within the CloudEdge app. This allows multiple users to monitor the surveillance feed simultaneously.

Cleaning and Care
Regularly clean the camera lens and body with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the camera's surface or lens.
Environmental Considerations
The KATTCAM ZS-GX4S camera has an IP65 waterproof rating, making it suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions, including sun, rain, and snow. While designed to withstand elements, avoid submerging the camera in water.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi: Ensure your Wi-Fi is 2.4 GHz. Check Wi-Fi signal strength at the camera's location. Restart your router and the camera.
- False motion alerts: Adjust the PIR sensitivity settings in the CloudEdge app. Ensure the camera is not facing direct sunlight or areas with frequent non-human motion (e.g., tree branches swaying).
- Short battery life: Ensure the camera is fully charged. Reduce the frequency of motion detection events or consider connecting a solar panel for continuous charging.
- No night vision: Check if the IR lights are obstructed. Ensure the camera is in a dark environment for automatic IR activation.
- Cannot hear audio or speak through camera: Check the volume settings on your phone and in the app. Ensure the camera's microphone and speaker are not obstructed.
