Operation

In live view interface, click '...' to access the camera settings and additional functions.

Two-way audio

You can see and hear the visitors from the camera in your SmarterHome app.

Full Colour Vision

The use of white light ensures that pictures and videos captured during motion detection are presented in vivid colour, enhancing overall visibility for a more detailed and clear vision.

PIR Motion Detection

• Built-in motion sensor detects movement, and the camera will send push notifications and app alerts.
• When someone passes by, an alarm will be triggered and sent to phone.

Alerts

When the alarm is triggered at night, the camera will activate both sound and light notifications.

Low Battery

• A low battery warning is triggered when the battery level reaches 20%. A shutdown warning is triggered when it reaches 5%.
• If the camera is not receiving enough sunlight to charge, you may need to fully charge it via USB before resuming operation. Consider adjusting the solar polar to receive more direct sunlight.

Spotlight Control Modes

The spotlight can be controlled through the SmarterHome app. Two lighting modes are available:

• Manual Control: Turn the spotlight on manually via the app and adjust the brightness as needed.
• Night Vision Mode: The spotlight will automatically turn on when motion is detected in low light conditions.

Record

Use an SD card to keep recording for every moment.

Day & Night

Never miss a moment, even in complete darkness, with powerful night-vision technology.

Note: The PIR motion sensor will occasionally false trigger depending on the camera's environment. This is completely normal and not an indication of improper operation or product fault.
