Istruzioni per l'uso
Controllo Pan/Tilt
The camera offers a wide range of motion for comprehensive coverage:
- Pan: Rotazione orizzontale di 355°.
- Inclinazione: Rotazione verticale di 90°.
You can control the camera's movement remotely via the mobile application by sliding the screen or using directional controls.

The camera's pan (355°) and tilt (90°) capabilities are controlled by sliding the screen in the mobile application for real-time monitoring.
Two-Way Audio & DIY Alarm Voice
The built-in microphone and high-quality speaker enable two-way communication. You can speak through the camera from your phone and hear audio from the camera's location.
The camera also supports a DIY alarm voice feature. You can choose a default alarm sound or record your own voice message. When an alarm is triggered (e.g., by humanoid detection), the camera will play the selected sound to deter intruders.

This image demonstrates the two-way audio functionality, allowing communication between the camera and a mobile phone, and the DIY alarm voice feature to deter unwanted visitors.
Smart Dual Light Modes (Night Vision)
The camera features advanced night vision with three modes:
- Modalità ordinaria: IR LEDs turn on at night to provide clear black and white night vision images.
- Modalità colore: White LEDs turn on throughout the night to provide full-color night vision images.
- Modalità intelligente: In low light, the camera uses IR LEDs for black and white vision. When an alarm is triggered (e.g., humanoid detection), the white LEDs activate, switching to color night vision and illuminating the area.

Visual explanation of the three Smart Dual Light Modes: Ordinary (IR night vision), Color (White LED for full-color night vision), and Intelligent (switches to color with white LEDs upon alarm trigger).
AI Humanoid Detection & Auto Tracking
The camera is equipped with smart AI functions to detect human shapes and automatically track their movement. This reduces false alarms from pets or other non-human objects.
- When a human is detected, the camera can automatically pan and tilt to follow their movement.
- You can configure the app to receive alarm snapshots, push notifications, and record alarm events.

Risoluzione dei problemi
- Q: Camera cannot connect to WiFi.
- A: Ensure the camera is within range of your 2.4GHz WiFi network. Check that the WiFi password entered in the app is correct. Try restarting both the camera and your router. If issues persist, try AP mode for initial setup or a wired Ethernet connection if available.
- Q: No image or black screen in the app.
- A: Check if the camera is powered on and connected to the network. Verify your internet connection. Ensure the app is updated to the latest version. If the issue is at night, check the night vision settings (Ordinary, Color, Intelligent).
- Q: Motion detection is not working or generating too many false alarms.
- A: Ensure AI Humanoid Detection is enabled in the app settings. Adjust the detection sensitivity. For false alarms, refine the detection zones (privacy shelter zones can also be used to exclude areas). Ensure the camera lens is clean.
- Q: Two-way audio is not clear or not working.
- A: Check your phone's volume and the camera's speaker volume settings in the app. Ensure there is no obstruction to the microphone or speaker on the camera. Reduce background noise in the environment. Ensure a stable network connection for optimal audio quality.
- Q: SD card not recording or not recognized.
- A: Ensure the Micro SD card is inserted correctly. Format the SD card through the camera's settings in the app. Use a high-quality Micro SD card (Class 10 or higher) up to 128GB. If the issue persists, try a different SD card.
- Q: Camera is offline frequently.
- A: Check the stability of your WiFi network. The camera might be too far from the router or experiencing interference. Consider moving the router closer, using a WiFi extender, or connecting via Ethernet if possible.
Manutenzione
- Pulizia: Pulisci regolarmente l'obiettivo della fotocamera con un panno morbido e asciutto per garantire una qualità dell'immagine nitida. Non utilizzare prodotti chimici aggressivi.
- Aggiornamenti del firmware: Check the mobile application periodically for firmware updates. Keeping your camera's firmware up-to-date ensures optimal performance, security, and access to new features.
- Alimentazione elettrica: Utilizzare solo l'adattatore di alimentazione fornito o un ricambio compatibile con il volume correttotage (DC12V2A).
- Condizioni ambientali: While the camera is IP66 waterproof, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures outside its operating range (-20°C to +50°C) or direct, prolonged water submersion.
- Backup dei dati: If using an SD card, regularly back up important recordings to another storage device or utilize the cloud storage feature.
Suggerimenti per l'utente
- Posizionamento ottimale: For best auto-tracking performance, place the camera where the primary area of interest is within its pan/tilt range and not too far from the camera.
- Customize Alarm Voice: Utilize the DIY alarm voice feature to record a personalized warning message, which can be more effective than generic alarms.
- Visione notturna intelligente: For a balance of stealth and deterrence, configure the camera to Intelligent Night Vision mode. This keeps IR LEDs on normally and switches to bright white LEDs only when motion is detected.
- Proteggi la tua rete: Always use a strong, unique password for your WiFi network and camera access to prevent unauthorized access.
- Controlli regolari: Controllare periodicamente il feed live e il feed registratotage per garantire che la telecamera funzioni come previsto e catturi le aree desiderate.
