Setup

1. Charging the Camera

Before first use, fully charge the camera. Connect the provided charging cable to the Micro USB port on the camera and plug the other end into a USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port. The charging indicator light will show the charging status.

2. Inserting a Micro SD Card

The camera supports Micro SD cards (TF cards) up to 64GB for video storage. Locate the Micro SD card slot on the side of the camera. Gently insert the card with the gold contacts facing down until it clicks into place.

Important: If you intend to save video recordings, please format the Micro SD card before using it with the camera. Refer to the "Operating Instructions" section for formatting steps via the app.

3. Mounting the Camera

The camera comes with an adjustable support and features a magnetic body for flexible placement.

• Use the adjustable support to position the camera on a flat surface or attach it to a wall.
• The magnetic base allows direct attachment to metal surfaces like refrigerators or metal shelves.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off

To turn on the camera, press and hold the ON/OFF button for approximately 3 seconds. To turn off, press and hold the ON/OFF button again until the indicator light turns off.

2. Connecting to Wi-Fi

The camera offers two methods for Wi-Fi connection:

1. Direct Wi-Fi Hotspot Connection:
   • Turn on the camera.
   • On your mobile phone or tablet, go to the WLAN (Wi-Fi) settings.
   • Find and connect to the camera's Wi-Fi hotspot (usually named something like "A9-XXXXXX" or similar).
   • Once connected, open the dedicated camera application (refer to the packaging or included quick start guide for app name/QR code) to view the live video feed.
2. Home Wi-Fi Network Connection (for remote monitoring):
   • Ensure the camera is powered on.
   • Scan the QR code provided with the camera (usually on the packaging or a small card) to download and install the official camera application on your smartphone.
   • Open the app and follow the in-app instructions to add a new device.
   • In the app's Wi-Fi configuration settings, select your home's 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and enter the password. The camera will then connect to your home network, allowing remote access.

3. Video Recording

Once connected and a formatted Micro SD card is inserted, the camera can begin recording. Specific recording modes (e.g., continuous, motion-activated) are typically configured within the mobile application.

The camera supports both video and voice recording.

4. Viewing Recordings

Recorded video files are saved to the Micro SD card. You can view these recordings directly through the mobile application or by removing the Micro SD card and inserting it into a computer with a card reader.

Maintenance

• Keep the camera clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Ensure the lens is free of dust and smudges for clear video quality.
• Store the camera in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Avoid exposing the camera to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity.
• Regularly back up important recordings from the Micro SD card to prevent data loss.
