Operating Instructions
Live View
Open the "Security Premium" app and select your TX-190 camera from the device list to access the live video feed. You can monitor your space in real-time.
Recording and Playback
The camera automatically records when motion is detected (PIR). Recordings are saved to the inserted MicroSD card. Use the app's playback function to review recorded footage. The video resolution is 2304 x 1296 at 15 fps.
Motion Detection (PIR)
The integrated PIR sensor detects motion up to approximately 8 meters with a 120° angle. When motion is detected, the camera will automatically begin recording and can send notifications to your smartphone via the app. Adjust sensitivity settings within the app if needed.
Night Vision
The camera features 2 infrared LEDs for night vision, which activate automatically in low-light conditions. This provides clear visibility up to approximately 5 meters in the dark.
Two-Way Audio
Utilize the built-in microphone and speaker for two-way communication through the app. This allows you to listen in on your environment and speak through the camera.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Wipe the camera's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols, as they may damage the device. Keep the lens clean for optimal image quality.
Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid exposing the camera to extreme temperatures. Recharge the battery when the low battery indicator appears in the app. If storing the camera for an extended period, charge it to about 50% and recharge every few months.
Software Updates
Periodically check the "Security Premium" app for available firmware updates for your camera. Keeping the firmware updated ensures optimal performance and security.
Troubleshooting
Camera Not Connecting to Wi-Fi
- Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4 GHz. The camera does not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
- Verify the Wi-Fi password is entered correctly in the app.
- Place the camera closer to your Wi-Fi router (within 15 meters).
- Restart your router and the camera.
- If connection issues persist, try resetting the camera using the RST button (requires a pin) and attempt the setup process again.
Password Change Loop During Setup
Some users have reported an issue where the app enters a loop when attempting to change the camera's password during initial setup. If you encounter this, try the following:
- Ensure the app is updated to the latest version.
- Try a simpler password initially, then change it after successful setup if possible.
- Perform a factory reset on the camera using the RST button and retry the setup.
- If the issue persists, contact Technaxx customer support for further assistance.
No Recording or Playback Issues
- Check if a MicroSD card is properly inserted and formatted (FAT32/exFAT).
- Ensure the MicroSD card is not full. Back up important footage and format the card if necessary.
- Verify that motion detection recording is enabled in the app settings.
Poor Image Quality
- Clean the camera lens with a soft cloth.
- Ensure there is adequate lighting in the environment, especially during the day.
- Check your Wi-Fi signal strength; a weak signal can affect streaming quality.
