4. Setup and Installation

4.1 App Download

To operate your FAMVIVA security camera, you need to download the 'Septekon' app on your smartphone. Scan the QR code below or search for 'Septekon' in your device's app store (App Store for iOS, Google Play for Android).

4.2 Initial Camera Setup

1. Power On: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the camera (usually under a protective cover). Slide the switch to the 'ON' position.
2. Indicator Light: After powering on, wait a few seconds for the indicator light to flash alternately between red and blue. This indicates the camera is ready for pairing.
3. Reset (if needed): If the indicator light does not flash as described, or if you need to reset the camera, press and hold the 'RESET' button for 5 seconds until you hear a 'Di Di' sound. The camera will then enter network pairing mode.

4.3 Network Connection

The camera supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only. Ensure your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network (5GHz networks are not supported).

1. Add Device: Open the 'Septekon' app and tap 'Add device'.
2. Select Camera Model: Find 'FamViva' in the brand list and select 'T4' (PT808).
3. Choose Setup Mode: You can connect via Bluetooth (recommended) or QR code.
4. Bluetooth Connection (Recommended): Follow the in-app instructions to pair via Bluetooth. Ensure your phone's Bluetooth is enabled.
5. QR Code Connection (Alternative): If Bluetooth fails, select 'Wi-Fi connection by QR code'. Enter your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi password. The app will generate a QR code. Hold your phone 4-12 inches in front of the camera lens, ensuring the QR code is clearly visible to the camera. The camera will emit a 'QR code successful' sound upon successful scan.
6. Confirmation: Once connected, the camera's blue indicator light will change from flashing to steadily on, and the app will confirm successful pairing.

4.4 Physical Installation

The camera and solar panel come with separate mounting brackets for flexible installation.

1. Detach Camera Base: Gently remove the camera from its base by sliding it upwards.
2. Mount Camera Base: Use the provided template sticker to mark drilling points on your desired installation surface. Secure the camera mounting bracket to the wall using the screws and wall anchors.
3. Attach Camera: Align the camera with the mounted base from top to bottom and press until it clicks securely into place.
4. Mount Solar Panel: Fix the solar panel mounting bracket to a location with ample sunlight using the remaining screws and wall anchors.
5. Connect Solar Panel: Screw the universal joint of the solar panel into the back of the solar panel. Attach the solar panel to its mounted bracket. Adjust the solar panel to the optimal angle for full sun exposure, then tighten the locking screw cap.
