Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your xmartO WB2024-W 2K 3MP WiFi Home Security Camera. This camera is designed as an add-on unit for existing xmartO expandable camera systems or xmartO NVRs. It is important to note that this camera does not function as a standalone device and requires a 5MP xmartO NVR to operate correctly. If your NVR operates at 960p or 1080p resolution, these 3MP cameras may have too high a resolution for compatibility.
The WB2024-W camera features 2K (2304*1296) HD resolution, a built-in microphone for audio capture, IR night vision, and an IP66 weatherproof rating for versatile indoor and outdoor use.

Setup

- Wireless Pairing: The camera will automatically attempt to connect to a compatible xmartO NVR within range.

Then, use the 'Add One' tool in the NVR's Camera Management interface to add the camera. Refer to the xmartO website or contact support for detailed instructions on wired pairing.
3. Mounting the Camera
The camera's IP66 weatherproof rating allows for flexible installation both indoors and outdoors. Choose a location that provides the desired viewing angle and is within range of your NVR's WiFi signal or accessible for a wired connection.
Operating the Camera
1. Live View and Playback
Once connected to your xmartO NVR, you can view live feeds and playback recorded footage directly on a monitor or TV connected to the NVR via HDMI. For remote access, download the xmartO app on your smartphone or tablet, or use the client software on your PC or laptop.
2. Audio Monitoring
The built-in microphone allows you to hear audio from the camera's vicinity. This feature is accessible through the NVR interface or the remote viewing application.
3. Night Vision
The camera automatically switches to IR night vision in low-light conditions, providing clear black and white footage. The night vision range is up to 25 meters.
4. Motion Detection
The camera supports motion detection, which can trigger recording and send alerts to your connected devices. Configure motion detection settings via your NVR or the xmartO application.
