Setup and Installation

Package Contents:

• SimpliSafe Smart Alarm Wireless Indoor Security Camera
• 10-foot USB charging cable
• Option to wall mount or table stand
• Screw kit

Placement Guidelines:

Optimal placement is crucial for effective monitoring and motion detection. Consider the following:

• For table placement, position the camera on a flat shelf at least 4 feet off the ground.
• For wall mounting, install the camera near a wall corner, 6 to 7 feet high, and angled approximately 20 degrees downwards for maximum coverage.
• Avoid placing the camera directly next to light-colored walls if using night vision, as infrared light can reflect and reduce image clarity.

Powering the Camera:

The camera can be powered in two ways:

1. Wired Connection: Plug the provided 10-foot USB charging cable into the camera and a USB power adapter (not included) connected to a wall outlet.
2. Wireless Operation: Utilize the built-in rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. This allows for placement without a constant power connection. Ensure the battery is fully charged before initial wireless use.
