1. Download the "Baseus Security" app from the Google Play Store (for Android) or the Apple App Store (for iOS).
2. Follow the in-app instructions to create an account and add your H1 HomeStation.
3. Once the HomeStation is added, proceed to add each N1 camera by following the app's pairing process. This typically involves pressing a sync button on the camera and confirming in the app.

All recorded events are stored locally on the HomeStation. Access the "Events" tab in the app to review past recordings. You can filter events by date and camera.

Maintenance

1. Battery Charging

The N1 cameras are battery-powered and require periodic recharging. The app's "Power Manager" section displays the current battery level. When the battery is low, remove the camera from its mount and charge it using the USB-C cable. The 210-day battery life is based on 10 seconds of video per recording, 30 recordings per day; actual life may vary with usage frequency.

2. Cleaning

Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth to ensure clear image quality. For outdoor cameras, periodically check for debris or obstructions that might block the view or interfere with sensors.

3. Storage Expansion

The H1 HomeStation has 16GB of built-in storage. To expand storage up to 16TB, you can install an external hard drive (not included) into the designated slot on the HomeStation. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for detailed installation steps for the hard drive.

Troubleshooting

• No Motion Detection: Verify that motion detection is enabled in the app settings and that the activity zone is correctly configured. Adjust sensitivity if needed.
• Poor Image Quality: Clean the camera lens. Ensure there are no obstructions. Check the camera's placement for optimal lighting conditions.
• App Issues: Ensure your "Baseus Security" app is updated to the latest version. Restart the app or your mobile device if problems persist.
