• How do I reset my IMILAB camera to factory settings?

  Use a pin to press and hold the reset button or pinhole on the device for about 7 seconds until the indicator light flashes (usually orange or green). The camera will reset and alert you that it is ready to connect.

• What app do I use with IMILAB cameras?

  Most IMILAB cameras are compatible with the Xiaomi Home (Mi Home) App. Download it from the App Store or Google Play, create an account, and tap the '+' icon to add your device.

• Does the camera support local storage?

  Yes, IMILAB cameras typically support local storage via a MicroSD card (up to 256GB, Class 10/U1 or higher). This allows for recording without a mandatory cloud subscription.

• Why is the indicator light flashing green/orange?

  A flashing light usually indicates the device is waiting for a connection or there is a network exception. A solid light (often blue or green) typically indicates a successful connection and normal operation.

• How do I calibrate the lens positioning?

  If the lens positioning is inaccurate, use the calibration feature within the Xiaomi Home App. Do not manually twist the camera dome to force it to rotate, as this may damage the internal motor.
