Video Recording

To record video, press the "record" button on the main camera screen. To end recording, press the "record" button again. To view recordings, scroll down on the main camera page and press the "Photo Album" button. All video recordings and photos taken will be in the photo album. To view all footage the camera has recorded, press "Playback". Optional cloud storage can be purchased by clicking on "Cloud Storage" if a Micro SD card is not inserted in the camera.

Installing a Micro SD Card

To install a Micro SD Card, insert it into the slot on the side of the camera. Ensure the correct type of memory card is used (e.g., microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC). Once correctly inserted, it should click into place. To remove it, press down slightly and it will pop out. The camera supports any memory size of Micro SD Card up to 128 GB.

Once the Micro SD Card is installed, it needs to be formatted. To format the card, go to the settings of the camera by clicking on the icon at the top right corner of the camera screen, then click on "Storage Settings", and finally click on "Format". The "Storage Settings" option only appears when a Micro SD card is inserted into the camera. The storage settings display Total Capacity, Used, and Remaining Capacity, along with options for Local Recording, Recording Mode (Event Recording), and Schedule.

Setting up the Micro SD Card for Recording

Once the Micro SD Card is formatted, it is ready for recording. In "Storage Settings", turn on "Local Recording" for the camera to record video to the Micro SD Card. Then select the Recording Mode. There are two modes: "Event Recording" and "Non-Stop".

• Event Recording: The camera will only record when motion is detected. Motion detection must be turned on for this mode to function.
• Non-Stop: The camera will record 24 hours a day on the Micro SD Card until it is full. When full, it will automatically overwrite the oldest video with the newest recorded video.

Taking a Photo

To take a photo, press "Screenshot" on the camera control screen. The photo will be saved in the Brookstone Smart App in the "Photo Album" section. From there, photos can be saved to the phone's photo section.

Infrared Night Vision

Infrared night vision is controlled automatically by the camera. When the area around the camera becomes too dark, infrared night vision will activate automatically. When the area around the camera is bright again, night vision will deactivate automatically.

Two Way Audio

To activate two-way audio, press the "speak" button on the camera control screen. When the button is blue, whatever is spoken into the phone will come out of the camera's speaker. Sounds from the live video on the camera can also be heard simultaneously.

Motion Detection

The camera uses infrared sensors to detect movement within its detection area. Push notifications will be sent to the phone once motion is detected.

To access motion detection controls, press the camera setting button at the top right of the main camera screen. On the next page, select "Detection Alarm Settings". From there, motion detection can be turned on/off and sensitivity settings adjusted. This can also be accessed by hitting the "alarm" button on the main camera page.

Hub Controls (Sound, Video Quality, Signal Strength)

Features can be controlled from the live video feed. There is a volume button to mute and unmute the live feed. Next to the volume button is the video quality button, used to switch between standard and high definition video. In the top right corner of the live video feed, the signal strength of the camera is displayed.

Sharing the Device

To share access to the camera with another Brookstone Smart account user, press the camera settings button at the top right of the main camera screen. Then select "Share Device". On the next page, press "Add Sharing" at the bottom. After that, enter the email associated with the other person's Brookstone Smart account. They will receive a notification to accept, granting them access to view the camera through the Brookstone Smart app on their phone.

Connecting to a New Network

How to change the WiFi Network of the camera

If the WiFi network connected to the device needs to be changed, delete the device from the Brookstone Smart App. Then, start the setup process again as if adding a new device, ensuring the phone is connected to the new WiFi Network that the existing device will connect to. The device will then remember the new WiFi Network.

Once a WiFi Network has been successfully connected to the device, it will remember it even if unplugged. Therefore, if the camera is moved to a different part of the home, it can be unplugged after setup and then plugged in elsewhere, and it will automatically connect to the WiFi.
