- Avoid placing the camera lens too close to walls or glass.
Camera Installation
Step 1: Fix the bracket to the desired location using the supplied screws ?.
Step 2: Fasten the camera onto the metal mount and secure it.
Step 3: Adjust the viewing angle of the camera ?.
Important Notes
To reduce false alarms:
- Do not install the camera facing strong lights, mirrors, windows, or swimming pools.
- Avoid placing the camera too close to busy traffic areas.
- Recommended distance for motion detection is within 32 feet (10 meters).
- Keep the camera away from heat outlets like air conditioner vents or projector heat transfer vents.
- Maintain at least 1 meter (3 feet) distance from other wireless devices (e.g., microwave stoves, Wi-Fi routers ?) to prevent interference.
Monitoring Area
For optimal detection, avoid installing the camera vertically towards moving objects. It is suggested that the angle between the PIR Sensor ?♂️ and detected objects be more than 10 degrees. The camera's motion sensor is more sensitive to side-to-side movement across its field of view than to movement directly towards or away from the camera.
Device Menu
The app interface provides access to various functions:
- Main Interface: Device List, Real Time view ▶️, Camera Name, Settings ⚙️, Messages ✉️, Personal Homepage ?.
- Live View Screen: HD/SD Switch, Volume On/Off ?, Full Screen ?, Screenshot ?, Intercom ?, Record ⏺️, Motion Detection ?♂️, Siren ?, Album ?️.
- History/Cloud: Access recorded events via History ? or Cloud ☁️. A calendar and time bar are available for navigation.
PIR Body Detection
10.1 Body Detection Alarm Setting
Motion Detection sensitivity defaults to 'High' but can be adjusted. Options include 'Low' (up to 5 meters / 16ft) and 'High' (up to 10 meters / 32ft). Higher sensitivity detects further but consumes more battery. An 'Alarm Interval' can be set (e.g., 2, 5, or 10 minutes) to avoid repeated notifications for the same event. 'Day Detection' and 'Night Detection' can be configured, along with an 'Alert Plan' to set specific times for alarms.
Note: The higher the sensitivity, the longer the detection distance, but the faster the battery drains.
10.2 Alarm Notification
The camera is an event-recording device, triggered only by motion detection. System reactions include:
- Alarm notifications with sounds via the App ?.
- Pictures/videos automatically stored on the Micro SD Card ? or Cloud ☁️.
10.3 Record/Playback/Delete
Access all recorded events on the 'Messages' page by clicking 'Alarm Messages'. You can play back or delete recordings from this list. Screenshots and manually recorded videos are saved in 'Pictures & Videos', which can be saved to your phone's album or shared.
Two-Way Audio
To use two-way audio:
- Go to the live view page ▶️.
- Activate the audio option.
- Press and hold the intercom button ? to speak.
- Release the button to listen.
Power Saving Settings
12.1 Alarm Interval & Shooting Interval
This function prevents repeated alarms for the same event. For example, a 5-minute interval means no new alarm push notification will be sent for 5 minutes after the first one, even if motion continues. This is off by default.
12.2 Maximum Shooting Time & Recording Time
You can set the duration of video recordings (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 seconds). Shorter recording times reduce power consumption.
12.3 Alarm Plan
Set a weekly/daily alarm schedule. For instance, you can configure the camera to only trigger and record alarms between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM (20:00-08:00). Up to 4 time periods can be set.
Solar Panel
Installation:
- Find a location with ample sunlight throughout the day. Adjust the angle for maximum exposure. The ideal angle is approximately your local latitude ± 5 degrees.
- Mount the bracket using the provided mounting template and screws ?.
- Slot the solar panel into the bracket and ensure it is secure.
- Loosen the adjusting control on the bracket, adjust the solar panel's angle to receive direct sunlight ☀️, and then retighten the control.
- Connect the solar panel to the camera using the micro USB cable ?.
Notes:
- Ensure no part of the solar panel is blocked; efficiency drops significantly even with minor obstruction.
- Install the solar panel angularly, not horizontally, to prevent dust and debris accumulation.
- Wipe the solar panel regularly to remove dust or debris.
The efficiency of solar energy conversion is affected by weather, seasons, and geographic location.
Battery Management
- The camera has a built-in high-capacity battery, estimated to last 2-3 months with typical usage (15 wakes per day, 10 minutes of video playback daily). Battery life depends on wake-up frequency; more frequent wakes drain the battery faster. Consider lowering 'Motion Detection' sensitivity or turning it off periodically.
- The app will send reminders when the battery level drops below 20%.
- Charge the camera using a DC 5V 2A charger; a full charge takes approximately 5-8 hours.
Multi Device Management
15.1 Multi Camera Management
You can add more devices to your account by tapping the '+' icon on the app's homepage.
15.2 Multi-User Sharing
One ZUMIMALL account cannot be logged in on multiple devices simultaneously, and one camera cannot be connected to multiple devices. However, a camera can be shared from one user (A) to another (B).
Sharing Process:
- User B downloads the ZUMIMALL App and creates a new account.
- User A clicks 'Add' on their app.
- User A scans User B's QR Code or inputs User B's account ID.
- User B accepts the share request and refreshes their device page.
When sharing, you can set device usage permissions: 'Viewable only' (browse devices, uncontrollable) or 'Allow control' (browse and control equipment).
Reset Camera
To reset the camera, locate the reset hole ?. Press and hold the reset button inside for 3-5 seconds until you hear a 'Boogu' sound. Wait for the camera status indicator to flash red slowly ?, indicating it's ready for reconnection.
ZUMIMALL FAQ

- Cannot charge: Charge for at least 8-10 hours with a 5V/2A adapter. Ensure the charging cable and adapter are functional. A solid red light ? indicates charging; a solid blue light ? indicates a full charge.
- Frequently received alarm information: Reduce motion detection sensitivity. Check for objects within the detection range that might trigger the PIR sensor. Enable 'Alarm only when people appear' to filter false positives using humanoid algorithms.
- Passersby not triggering alarm: Ensure good network condition (Wi-Fi signal value not below 70%). Ensure motion detection is on and increase sensitivity. Verify motion occurs within the PIR sensor's detection range.
- No alarm video recording: Confirm the camera was triggered. Ensure the Micro SD card is inserted correctly and recognized, or that cloud services are subscribed.
- No alarm push: On your phone, go to Settings > Notifications, find the ZUMIMALL app, and enable notification permissions. Within the ZUMIMALL app, go to 'Settings' and enable alarm push. In the 'My' interface, go to settings and turn on push sound. Ensure motion detection is enabled on the device. Restart your phone and clear app cache if necessary. Check network connectivity.
- Unable to play local history playback: Check the Micro SD card status in 'Settings' to confirm recognition. Reinsert the card, format it within the app, or try a new Micro SD card.
- Unable to play cloud playback: Ensure the cloud service function is enabled and the cloud storage button is active in the cloud service interface.
- Device offline: Check device power and indicator lights ?. Verify Wi-Fi network is good and restart the router ?. If the camera is far from the router, consider moving the router closer or using a Wi-Fi extender. Delete the camera from your ZUMIMALL account, reset the device, and add it again. Ensure the device and app versions are the latest.
- Short battery life: Reduce motion detection sensitivity and the number of camera triggers. Minimize two-way intercom usage and live stream viewing. Set alarm intervals and alarm time plans. Check for interfering objects within the field of view. Note that cold weather can reduce battery capacity.
- ZUMIMALL App crashes: Re-download the latest version of the ZUMIMALL App. Ensure your phone's operating system version is compatible. Clear your phone's cache.
- Unable to register an account: Ensure the ZUMIMALL App has access to mobile cellular data and wireless LAN. Enter an unregistered account with the correct format.

- Noise during two-way intercom: Whistling may occur if the camera and phone are too close (1-2 meters), which is normal. Keep a certain distance during intercom.
- Live video is blurry: Check the lens for dust and clean it. Try switching between different resolutions (HD/SD). Reset the camera and re-add it.
