Operating the Camera
Smart Human & Motion Detection
The camera features advanced human/motion detection technology. It is designed to send timely alerts and snapshots primarily when human figures are detected, significantly reducing false alarms caused by environmental factors like swaying trees, falling leaves, or changes in lighting. Please note that this feature does not support vehicle detection.

Smart Dual Light Color Night Vision
This camera provides clear images with brilliant color even in low-light conditions. When an intruder is detected, the camera's built-in spotlights can be automatically triggered to deter potential criminals. You can also manually activate the spotlights to prevent incidents before they occur. The system intelligently switches between infrared (black and white) and full-color night vision based on detected activity.
Image: This diagram illustrates the functionality of smart dual light color night vision: initially using infrared (black and white) at night, switching to full-color with spotlights upon human detection, and reverting to infrared once the person leaves the monitoring area.
Built-in Microphone
The camera includes a built-in microphone for one-way audio capture. This allows you to record sound within the camera's vicinity, adding an extra layer of security and information to your surveillance footage.

Wide Angle Coverage
The 2.8mm lens provides an ultra-wide 108°/110° viewing angle, allowing the camera to cover a larger area and capture more of your surroundings, ensuring comprehensive monitoring.
24/7 Recording
The camera supports continuous 24/7 recording when connected to a compatible NVR or storage solution, providing constant surveillance.
