4.1 Mobile App Setup (XMEye)

To access your camera system remotely, download and configure the XMEye mobile application:

1. Download App: Download the free "XMEye" app from your device's app store (Android/iOS) or scan the QR codes provided in Figure 4.1. You can also visit http://d.xmeye.net/Xmeye or http://d.xmeye.net/XMEye.

Important Notes:

• The system does not support 5GHz WiFi networks; ensure your router is configured for 2.4GHz.
• "Wireless" refers to the video signal transmission between cameras and NVR, not power. All cameras and the NVR require a power supply.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Night Vision

The cameras are equipped with both infrared (IR) LEDs and floodlights to provide clear night vision. The system offers:

• Auto B/W Night Vision: Utilizes IR LEDs for black and white video in total darkness.
• Color Night Vision: Activates floodlights to provide full-color video even in low-light conditions.

5.3 AI Human Detection and Face Detection

The system incorporates advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) features to enhance security and reduce false alarms:

• AI Human Detection: Distinguishes human shapes from animals and other objects, significantly reducing false alarms triggered by non-human movement.
• Face Detection: Recognizes faces in the video feed and can send instant notifications via the mobile app. Detected faces can be reviewed using the Smart Playback function.
• Light & Sound Alarm: When human detection is triggered, the system can activate a light and sound alarm from the camera to deter potential threats.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your security system:

• Camera Lens Cleaning: Periodically clean camera lenses with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or water spots that may obscure the view. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Cable Connections: Ensure all power cables and network cables (if used) are securely connected and free from damage.
• Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website or the XMEye app for available firmware updates for your NVR and cameras. Keeping firmware updated can improve performance and security.
• Hard Drive Management: If a hard drive is installed, regularly check its status through the NVR interface to ensure it is recording properly. Back up important footage as needed.
• Environmental Protection: While cameras are IP67 weatherproof, extreme weather conditions can still affect performance. Ensure cameras are mounted securely and protected from direct impact.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues and their solutions:

Q: Why is the system described as "wireless" if it requires power cables?

A: The term "wireless" refers to the video signal transmission between the cameras and the NVR, meaning no video cables are needed between them. However, both the cameras and the NVR require a power supply and must be plugged into power outlets.

Q: Does the system include a hard drive?

A: No, a hard drive is not included in the package. For recording video footage, you will need to install a SATA 3.5" HDD into the NVR.

Q: What is the length of the power supply cords?

A: The power supply cords are approximately 1 meter (3.3 feet) long.

Q: Why can't I connect to the system via the mobile app?

A: Ensure the NVR is connected to your router via an Ethernet cable. Also, verify that your router is operating on a 2.4GHz WiFi frequency, as the system does not support 5GHz WiFi.

Q: No image appears on the monitor after setup.

A: Check all power connections for the NVR and cameras. Ensure the monitor is correctly connected to the NVR via HDMI or VGA and is set to the correct input source. Verify that the NVR and cameras are powered on (indicated by LED lights).
