4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Two-Way Audio
The system supports two-way audio, allowing you to communicate with individuals near the camera using the dedicated mobile application. This feature enables real-time conversations, such as speaking to a delivery person at your door.
Figure 4.1: Two-Way Audio Communication. Interact with visitors or deter intruders directly through the camera.
4.2. Remote Monitoring
Access live video feeds and recorded footage from anywhere using the free 'Honestview' or 'Eseecloud' app on your smartphone (iOS/Android), tablet, or computer. The system supports multiple users (up to 4) viewing streams simultaneously.
Figure 4.2: Remote Access. Monitor your property from various devices, including smartphones, tablets, and PCs.
4.3. Motion Detection and Alerts
Leveraging advanced recognition algorithms and infrared detection, the system sends real-time notifications to your device when abnormal activity is detected. Dual detection (PIR & AI) minimizes false alarms from leaves, clouds, animals, or insects, significantly improving accuracy over traditional motion detection.

4.4. Recording Modes
The NVR supports various recording modes to suit your needs:
- Scheduled Recording: Set specific times for continuous recording.
- Manual Recording: Start and stop recording manually as needed.
- Motion Detection Recording: Records only when motion is detected, saving storage space.

5. Features
5.1. 4K 8MP Ultra-High Resolution
The 3264 x 2488 high-resolution security cameras provide clear and detailed images, ensuring 24/7 security for your home or business. Even at night, you can see everything within 24 meters.
5.2. 130° Ultra-Wide Angle Lens
Equipped with a 130° wide-angle optical lens, the cameras capture a broad field of view, minimizing blind spots and enhancing surveillance coverage. This allows for clear recording and monitoring of large areas.
Figure 5.1: 130° Ultra-Wide Angle. Capture more of your surroundings with an expanded field of view.
5.3. H.265 Compression Technology
The system utilizes H.265 compression, which allows for more than double the recording time compared to H.264 while maintaining image quality. This technology also improves processing speed by 50%, enabling smoother viewing even with slower internet connections.

5.6. Expandability
The system is expandable, allowing you to add up to 8 cameras in total to meet your surveillance needs. This flexibility makes it suitable for various locations such as offices, gardens, shops, or villas.
Figure 5.5: Expandable System. Add up to 8 cameras to cover all desired areas.
5.7. AI WDR Function
The AI WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) function adjusts the balance between bright and dark areas in surveillance footage, enhancing image clarity and detail. This is particularly useful in scenes with high contrast.

6. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your security camera system, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Clean Camera Lenses: Periodically wipe camera lenses with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and smudges that may affect image clarity.
- Check Connections: Ensure all cable connections (power, LAN, HDMI/VGA) are secure and free from damage.
- Software Updates: Check for and install any available firmware updates for the NVR and cameras to ensure the latest features and security patches.
- Hard Drive Health: Monitor the NVR's hard drive health through the system settings to prevent data loss.
- Environmental Factors: Ensure cameras are not obstructed by foliage or other objects that could interfere with their field of view or trigger false alarms.
