Tips for Optimal Motion Detection:

A. Camera Installation Based on Field of View:

1. Check your camera's viewing angle to ensure the surveillance area is well within the field of view.
2. The ideal detection distance is 2-10 meters for optimal detection. For best results, the camera should not be installed too far away or too high; the recommended height is 2.5 meters.

Illustration showing optimal camera placement and detection range.

B. Installation Based on PIR Motion Sensor Detection:

1. The PIR motion sensor detects motion only within a maximum range of 10 meters and a horizontal angle of 120°. Ensure that motion within this range is captured.
2. The PIR sensor is more sensitive to side-to-side movements than direct movements towards the camera.

Illustration showing PIR sensor detection angle.

Night Vision

To adjust night vision settings, launch the app and navigate to 'Settings → Image Settings → Full Color Mode.' You can choose from three night vision modes in the app.

Note: Night vision quality may be affected by nearby obstacles. Ensure that there are no obstacles within 1 meter in the camera's horizontal field of view. Avoid placing the camera behind trees or around corners.

Recording and Playback

CZEview battery-powered cameras only record when motion is detected, not continuously. Recordings can be stored on a microSD card (not included) or in the cloud (subscription required).

Before Recording:

I. For SD Card Users:

• Use a microSD card with a capacity between 8GB and 256GB. (A 32GB SD card can store up to 6 months of video, for reference.)
• After inserting the SD card, go to 'Settings' → 'Recording Control' to check if 'SD Card Capacity' is displayed in the app. If so, tap 'Format' to prepare the card.
• If 'SD Card Capacity' is not displayed, reinsert the SD card and check it under 'Recording Control'. If the problem persists, try a different SD card.

II. For Cloud Storage Users:

• The camera includes a lifetime, free 7-day basic cloud storage where motion-triggered videos are stored for 7 days before being overwritten.
• The free basic cloud plan records 6-second clips.
• For longer recordings, subscribe to a different cloud plan or use an SD card.

Setting Up Recording:

I. For Cloud Storage Users:

• Tap the 'Settings' icon in the bottom right corner of the preview screen.
• Go to 'Cloud Storage Service' and tap it.
• Subscribe to a plan to enable recording; without a subscription, the camera will not record.
• Go back to 'Settings', find 'Motion Detection', and tap it.
• Ensure the 'Motion Detection' function is enabled (it is enabled by default).

II. For SD Card Storage Users:

• Tap the 'Settings' icon in the bottom right corner of the preview screen.
• Go to 'Recording Control' and tap it.
• Ensure the 'Video Switch' is enabled (it is enabled by default).
• Go back to 'Settings', find 'Motion Detection', and tap it.
• Ensure the 'Motion Detection' function is enabled (it is enabled by default).

Playback:

I. For Cloud Storage Users:

• On the home screen, tap the playback icon.
• Tap 'Cloud' to view videos stored in the cloud. The standard recording time for a paid cloud storage plan is 10 seconds. To extend it, go to 'Settings' → 'Motion Detection'. The basic cloud storage plan only supports 6-second recordings.

II. For SD Card Storage Users:

• On the home screen, tap the playback icon.
• Tap 'History' to view videos stored on the SD card.
• The standard recording time is 10 seconds. To extend it, go to 'Settings' → 'Motion Detection'.

III. For Users Viewing SD Card Playback on a Computer:

• We recommend downloading the PotPlayer software. This software allows you to switch between two viewing angles with a single click when playing videos.
• First, download PotPlayer on your computer and open the application.
• Select the video you want to watch and open it with PotPlayer.
• After the video plays, click the [switch-view-icon] button in the lower right corner of the software to switch between different viewing angles.
