1. Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your SV3C Dual-Lens 4MP Outdoor Security Camera. Please read this manual thoroughly before use to ensure proper functionality and safety. This camera features advanced technology including 4MP high-resolution video, dual-band 2.4G/5G WiFi connectivity, Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) capabilities, AI human detection with auto-tracking, multiple night vision modes, two-way audio, and IP66 weatherproofing.
2. Product Features
- 4MP High Resolution & Three Night Vision Modes: The camera offers 4-megapixel high-definition video, providing clear and detailed images. It features four infrared lights for night vision up to 25 meters and supports three night vision modes (Infrared, Color, Smart) for clear color recording even in dark environments.
- PTZ Rotation Function: Control the camera's horizontal rotation from 0° to 180° and vertical rotation from 0° to 90° via the app, allowing for comprehensive monitoring of your surroundings.
- AI Human Detection & Auto-Tracking: Equipped with human detection and auto-tracking functions. When a human shape is detected in the monitoring area, an alarm is triggered, and the camera automatically tracks the movement, continuing to record. Motion detection sensitivity, range, and time can be adjusted via the app. The dual-lens system (8mm and 2.8mm lenses) automatically switches to zoom in on detected human movement for clearer identification.
- Recording Functions & 128GB Micro SD Card Support: Supports 24-hour recording and scheduled recording. Recordings are saved to a Micro SD card (up to 128GB, not included). When the storage is full, older footage is automatically overwritten. New image compression technology saves 1/3 to 1/4 of storage space, allowing for longer recording times.
- Alarm Linkage: When an alarm is triggered, notifications are sent to your email and app. Photos and motion detection recordings are saved to FTP and the Micro SD card.
- Two-Way Audio & IP66 Waterproof: Built-in high-quality speaker and microphone enable two-way communication. You can check your home's status, warn intruders, or communicate directly with family members. With IP66 waterproof and dustproof rating, it operates reliably in temperatures from -10℃ to +55℃, withstanding harsh weather conditions like typhoons, heavy rain, and snow. Suitable for outdoor installation at entrances, gardens, parking lots, and shops.
- Family Sharing & Connectivity: This network camera supports both wired and wireless connections. It features an AP mode, allowing use even without WiFi. Live viewing, recording playback, and settings can be managed via the smartphone app. Multiple 4MP cameras can be connected simultaneously, and the family sharing function allows real-time viewing by multiple users. Remote monitoring is possible when away from home, enabling you to watch over elderly family members or children's safety.
