3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Dual Lens and 360° View
The GENBOLT GB201HG features a unique dual-lens system. The upper lens provides a fixed wide-angle view, while the lower dome lens can pan and tilt to cover different areas. This allows for monitoring two distinct positions simultaneously or providing a comprehensive 360° view when combined with the pan/tilt function.

3.2 Pan, Tilt, and Digital Zoom
Control the lower dome camera's movement directly from the app. It supports 355° horizontal pan and 90° vertical tilt, ensuring no blind spots. The camera also features 4X digital zoom to magnify details within the live view or recorded footage.

3.3 Humanoid Detection and Auto Tracking
Configure specific detection zones within the app. The camera's advanced Humanoid Detection minimizes false alarms by distinguishing human shapes. When a person is detected, the auto-tracking feature will automatically follow their movement within the camera's field of view, ensuring continuous surveillance.
