Operating Instructions
1. Dual Lens & Dual Screen View
The camera features a dual-lens design: an upper fixed bullet camera and a lower 355° pan/90° tilt dome camera. This allows for simultaneous monitoring of two different areas or a wide overview with detailed zoom-in capabilities. The dual-screen display in the app provides a comprehensive view without blind spots.

2. Humanoid Detection & Auto Tracking
Enable the humanoid detection function in the app to receive real-time push notifications when a person is detected. The pan/tilt lens will automatically track the detected person's movement path, reducing false alarms caused by animals or other non-human movements.

Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera is offline/No signal | Weak 4G signal, expired data plan, SIM card issue, power loss. | Check 4G signal strength in the camera's location. Verify your data plan status and refill if necessary via the app. Ensure the SIM card is correctly inserted. Check power connection. |
| Frequent false alarms | High sensitivity for motion detection, environmental factors (e.g., moving branches, animals). | Adjust the humanoid detection sensitivity settings in the app. Ensure the camera's field of view is clear of common false alarm triggers. |
| No recording/Playback issues | Full microSD card, expired cloud storage trial, network instability. | Check microSD card capacity and format if necessary. Renew cloud storage subscription. Ensure stable 4G or PoE connection for cloud recording. |
