01 About the WiFi AI Camera

This section details the physical components and core features of the WiFi AI Camera.

Camera Components:

• 1. DC Power Port: Power Input 12V 1A.
• 2. Reset Button: Resets the camera to factory defaults and enters WiFi searching mode.
• 3. RJ45 Port: For connecting an Ethernet cable to the router.
• 4. Speaker: Supports two-way talk, alert voice playback, alarm sound, or broadcast.
• 5. Microphone: For picking up audio. (Note: The position of the microphone may differ in various models.)

AI Features: This WiFi camera is an AI camera with a floodlight that activates at night after humanoid detection. Humanoid detection uses AI technology to identify human motion, offering greater accuracy than standard motion sensors and reducing false alarms caused by pets or moving branches.

Audio Alerts: The camera is equipped with a speaker for two-way talk and alert voice playback. When human presence is detected or an alarm is triggered, it can play pre-recorded voice messages such as "Alert area, please leave," "Hello, welcome!" or an alarm sound, if this feature is enabled (it is off by default).
