6. Add Camera to App
6.1 Preparations for connection
- Insert a Micro SD Card into the camera to save video clips, or you can start the 7-day free cloud service. Without a Micro SD Card or cloud service, no video will be saved.
- The camera only works with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi; it does not support 5GHz.
- When connecting to the network, please place the camera close to the router (Recommended within 10-15ft).
6.2 Connect Camera to App
- Tap 'Add Device' on the app's home screen.
- Select 'Battery Camera' from the device list.
- Hold the device power button to start the camera. If the camera is asleep, press the battery camera button to wake it. Ensure you are near your router for the best signal.
- Reset the device by holding the RESET button for 4-5 seconds until the indicator light flashes red.
- Input your Wi-Fi network name and password (ensure it's a 2.4GHz network).
- Prepare for scanning: Remove any protective film from the camera lens. Tap 'Next' to display a QR code on your phone. Hold your phone 5-8 inches from the camera lens so it can scan the code. A tone will be heard upon successful scanning.
- The camera will connect to the network. Wait for the installation to reach 100%.
- Perform a network diagnosis if needed.
- View installation tips for optimal placement, such as using the outdoor mounting bracket, recommended height (2-3 meters), and avoiding direct sunlight or placing the lens too close to walls or glass.
7. Camera Installation
- Fix the bracket to your desired mounting location using the supplied screws.
- Fasten the camera onto the metal mount and secure it.
- Adjust the viewing angle of the camera as needed (supports 360° adjustment).
8. Important Notes
⚠️ To reduce false alarms, please note the following:
- Do not install the camera in a position facing strong lights, mirrors, windows, or swimming pools.
- Do not place the camera too close to areas with busy traffic.
- Keep the camera away from outlets, including air conditioner vents, humidifier outlets, and heat transfer vents of projectors, etc.
- Keep the camera at least 1 meter away from any wireless devices (such as microwave ovens, Wi-Fi routers) to avoid interference.
9. Monitoring Area
- It is not suggested to install the camera vertically towards moving objects, as this may result in missed motion events or delays.
- It is suggested to position the camera so the angle between the PIR Sensor and detected objects is 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 toward or away from the camera.
Diagrams illustrate optimal detection angles and distances (e.g., 7ft height, 32ft range, best detection zone with side-to-side movement).

12. PIR Motion Detection
12.1 Motion Detection Alarm Setting
Motion detection sensitivity can be adjusted from 1 to 10.
Sensitivity | Detecting Distance (For moving and living objects) |
---|---|
LOW: 1-3 | 13-16ft (4-5 meters) |
MID: 4-7 | 16-23ft (5-8 meters) |
HIGH: 8-10 | 23-42ft (8-13 meters) |
NOTE: The higher the sensitivity, the longer the distance the PIR can detect. Accordingly, the battery will drain faster.
To configure these settings, navigate to 'Settings' > 'Alarm Management' in the app.
12.2 Alarm Notification
This camera is an event recording camera, triggered only by body motion detection. It does not support 7*24 hours all-day recording.
- Alarm notifications with sounds will be sent via the App.
- Pictures/videos are automatically stored in the Micro SD Card or Cloud.
12.3 Record/Playback/Delete
- On the 'MESSAGES' page, click 'Alarm Messages' to view all listed records.
- Click the provided buttons to playback or delete recordings.
- All screenshots or manually recorded videos from the live/history/cloud pages will be saved in 'Pictures & Videos'. These files can be saved to your phone's Album or shared directly.
13. Power Saving Settings
13.1 Alarm Interval
This function avoids repeated alarms for the same event. For example, with a 5-minute interval, if the camera is triggered at 08:00, you will receive an alarm message, but no new alarm push will be sent in the next 5 minutes, even if motion detection continues.
NOTE: This function is off by default; you can set it as needed.
13.2 Recording Time
You can choose a different recording length. If set to 20 seconds, after the camera is triggered, you can view the 20 seconds of alarm video in the history of cloud playback.
13.3 Alarm Plan
You can set the weekly/daily alarm schedule as needed. If you set the camera's working hours from 0:00 to 1:00, the camera will only be triggered and record alarm video during this time period.
NOTE: Alarm schedules can be set for up to 4 time periods.
14. Battery Management
- The camera has a built-in high-capacity battery, which can be used for 2-3 months, assuming the camera wakes up 15 times per day and plays video for 10 minutes each day.
NOTE: Battery durability depends on how frequently the camera is woken up. The more it wakes up, the faster the battery drains. It is recommended to lower the 'Motion Detection' sensitivity or turn it off occasionally.
- When the power is less than 20%, the App will send you reminding messages for charging in time.
- Charge the camera with a DC 5V 2A charger until it is fully charged after 6-8 hours.
Charging Indicator: Light in Red means Charging; Light in Blue means 100% Charged.
15. Multi Device Management
15.1 Multi Camera Management
You can view multiple cameras live simultaneously on the app. Tap the '+' icon to add more devices.
15.2 Multi-User Sharing
NOTE: One App account (A) cannot log in on multiple devices at the same time. One camera cannot be connected to multiple App accounts either. However, a camera can be shared from A to B.
Share steps:
- User B downloads the ZUMIMALL App to their phone and creates a new account.
- User A clicks 'Add' in their App.
- User A scans User B's QR Code or inputs User B's account ID.
- User B accepts the share and refreshes the device page.
The process involves selecting 'Device Share', choosing sharing permissions (viewable only or allow control), and then accepting the request.
