3. Initiate the 'Add Camera' or 'Pair Camera' function. The NVR will automatically search for and connect to the new camera.
4. Once connected, the camera's live feed should appear on your NVR monitor or linked mobile application.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Live View and Recording

Access the live video feed through your DIHOOM NVR or the dedicated smartphone application. The system supports various recording modes:

• Continuous Recording: Records 24/7.
• Motion Detection Recording: Records only when motion is detected.
• Scheduled Recording: Records during specific time periods.

6.2. Night Vision Modes

The camera offers two night vision modes:

• Infrared Night Vision: Provides clear black and white images in complete darkness using infrared LEDs.
• Full-Color Night Vision: Utilizes built-in white LED lights to illuminate the area, providing vivid full-color video even in low-light conditions. This mode can be activated automatically upon detection of an intruder. The night vision range is up to 20 meters.

6.3. Two-Way Audio

The camera is equipped with a built-in microphone and speaker, enabling two-way audio communication. Through the mobile app, you can listen to the camera's surroundings and speak through the camera's speaker. This feature is useful for deterring intruders or communicating with visitors.

6.4. AI Detection Features

The camera integrates advanced AI for enhanced security:

• AI Human Detection: Accurately identifies human movement, significantly reducing false alarms triggered by animals, insects, or swaying trees (up to 99% false alarm reduction). When a human is detected, you will receive instant app notifications.
• AI Face Recognition: The system can detect and identify faces from recorded footage. You can register up to 10,000 faces and search for specific individuals' video clips. Up to 8 faces can be detected simultaneously.
• Sound and Light Alarm: Upon detecting an intruder, the camera can activate a 110dB siren and flash its 200LM white LED lights to deter unwanted visitors. This feature is configurable via the app.

6.5. Detection Area and Sensitivity

You can customize the detection area and adjust the sensitivity of motion detection to suit your specific surveillance needs. This helps to focus monitoring on critical zones and further reduce unwanted alerts.
