The wireless smart battery camera operates on internal batteries and can also be powered by an AC-Power supply or solar panel.

1. Download and install the App

The camera supports Android and iOS devices via a mobile app. Scan the QR code or visit https://www.vicohome.io/download/ to download and install the app. Follow the on-screen instructions for user registration.

App Download Links:

• Android Download
• App Store Download

2. Add camera

Sign in to the App, tap the Green "+" symbol, then tap "Add a New Camera". Follow the on-screen prompts. Ensure the camera and device are close to the router during initial configuration.

4. Set Up the Camera

Step 1: Press the camera power button for 3 seconds to turn it on. It will emit a "Ding Dong Ding Dong" sound. If not, quickly press the power button twice.

Step 2: In the App, tap "Add Camera Now" and follow the instructions. Long press the power button on the camera. When you hear the camera chime, tap the circle next to "I heard the sound or saw the light on" and tap "Next Step".

Step 3: Confirm you hear a beeping sound from the camera by tapping the circle next to "I heard a beeping sound" and tap "Next Step".

Step 4: Select your 2.4GHz WiFi network (SSID) and enter the password. The camera supports 2.4GHz WiFi for extended range and wall penetration; it does not support enterprise-level authentication. Tap "Next Step".

Step 5: Point the camera lens at the QR code generated by the App from about 7 inches (20cm) away until you hear a "Ding" sound.

Step 6: After a few moments, the camera will confirm a successful connection. The App will then prompt you to place the camera at its desired location. Check the Wi-Fi signal strength and tap "Next Step".

Wi-Fi connection troubleshooting:

• "WiFi Password Error": Verify the entered WiFi password.
• "WiFi not found": Ensure the correct WiFi network name is selected and that the camera and device are near the router. Confirm the network is broadcasting on 2.4GHz.
• "Authentication Error": Ensure the WiFi network uses WPA-2 or lower security levels, not enterprise-level authentication.
• "Retrieving IP timeout": Too many devices may be connected to your router. Remove some devices and restart the router.
• "Cloud service connection fail": Check your router's connection to the external network (modem). Ensure it's not set up for local area connections only.

5. Install the Camera

(1) Select a good spot for your camera

Choose a location with an unobstructed view, within WiFi coverage. The PIR infrared sensor is more sensitive to side-to-side movements than direct approach or retreat. Recommended installation height is approximately 6 ft (1.8m).

Note: For outdoor use, install the camera upside down to optimize waterproof performance and the human body infrared sensor's effectiveness.

(2) Install the bracket

1) Bracket installation:

Mark hole positions on the wall using a pencil. Drill holes and insert expansion nuts. Secure the bracket to the wall using screws.

2) Camera installation:

Insert the camera into the fixed bracket from top to bottom.
