Setup Guide
1. Charging the Doorbell Battery
Before first use, fully charge the doorbell camera. Connect the provided USB charging cable to the doorbell's charging port and a standard USB power adapter (not included). The indicator light will show charging status and turn solid when fully charged. A full charge typically takes 6-8 hours.
2. Inserting the SD Card
Your doorbell comes with a 32GB Micro SD card for local storage. Locate the SD card slot on the side or back of the doorbell. Gently insert the Micro SD card with the gold contacts facing down until it clicks into place. Ensure the doorbell is powered off before inserting or removing the SD card.
3. App Download and Installation
Download the companion mobile application from your smartphone's app store (iOS App Store or Google Play Store). Search for "KALOGL" or refer to the QR code provided in the quick start guide. Install the app and create an account if you are a new user.
4. Connecting to Wi-Fi
The KALOGL doorbell supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks only. Ensure your smartphone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network during the setup process. Follow the in-app instructions to add your device. This typically involves powering on the doorbell, entering Wi-Fi credentials in the app, and scanning a QR code displayed on your phone with the doorbell camera.

Operating Instructions
1. Live View

2. Two-Way Audio
While in live view or when receiving a call from the doorbell, tap the microphone icon in the app to enable two-way audio. You can then speak to visitors at your door and hear their responses.
3. Motion Detection and Alerts

Maintenance
1. Battery Charging
The doorbell is battery-powered. Monitor the battery level in the app and recharge the doorbell when the battery is low. Battery life varies based on usage and environmental factors. Frequent motion detections and live view access will consume more power.
2. Cleaning
Periodically clean the doorbell camera lens and surrounding area with a soft, dry cloth to ensure clear video quality. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
3. SD Card Management
While the SD card automatically overwrites old footage, you may occasionally want to format the SD card through the app settings to maintain optimal performance and clear all stored data.
