PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU START
Always use discretion when installing CCTV equipment, especially when there is perceived
policy. Enquire relevant local regulations applicable to the lawful installation of video recording/
surveillance. Third party consent may be required.
WIRELESS DEVICES OPERATING RANGE
Ensure the signal reception viewed from the wireless camera(s) is the best reception between
the camera(s) and the Wi-Fi router. If necessary, reduce the distance between the camera(s)
and the Wi-Fi router to improve overall system performance. Wireless Color Camera
Recordable CCTV Kit operating on a secure digital 2.4GHz frequency which could greatly
reduce interference from product such as wireless routers, cordless phones or microwave
ovens.
The state of art Portable Event Camera is capable of delivering High Denition (HD) video. We
recommend that you use (obtain) fast internet service form the local internet service provider
(ISP ) for the large data transmission. Depending on the local internet environment and
conditions, your device(s) may temporary display black-screen or temporary disconnect with
the camera. To improve performance:
* Make sure the camera is operating with sufcient internet bandwidth, 1Mbps upload/
download speed is suggested.
* The smart-devices need to be on Wi-Fi or 4G mobile network for maximum data transfer
speed.
Your camera will automaticity switch to Relay Mode under lower internet transmission,
rerouting the data to be transferred to your APP via different servers. It may improve the data
transfer performance by setting lower the Frame Per Second (FPS) in the advance setting
section.
* Your internet bandwidth is limited, best avoiding multiple connections simultaneously.
* Make sure your devices are equipped with up-to-date technology, 1.5GHz dual core
processor or equivalent is suggested.
* If the signal strength of your Wi-Fi router is weak, you can:
‧ Use Wi-Fi repeater/extender to maximize the Wi-Fi router service range.
‧ Switch your router to 11b/11g mode to improve router service range.
* Please make sure the memory card used is CLASS10 rated for fast read/write speed.
2
INSTALLATION/CAMERA SETTING TIPS
For optimum detection, we suggest the camera is to be mounted 7 to 8 feet (2.1m to 2.4m)
from the oor, and:
• On a rigid vibration-free surface.
• The expected movement of an intruder is across the elds of the detection pattern.
To avoid false alerts, please note the camera is equipped with a PIR Motion Sensor that
operates by detecting temperature changes in the area in front of the camera; Please avoid
placing the camera under the following environments where false alerts may happen:
(1) Aiming the camera at windows or glass doors.
(2) Where small animals may enter the detection area.
(3) Where a heat source (sunlight, incandescent light, car headlights, etc) may affect the
motion sensor.
(4) Where sudden temperature changes inside or around the detection area caused by hot
or cold wind (fans, air conditioners, etc.).
Please note the camera supports operation using both batteries (CR-123A Non-rechargeable
Battery) and DC power via 5V USB port; however, there are certain function limitation when
power on the camera using batteries ONLY.
* Once the camera is in sleep mode; user can no longer access the camera. The camera
will only become online when the motion detector has detected an event, or by pressing
the power button at the bottom. The camera will return to sleep mode after:
The camera cannot secure Wi-Fi connection with the router after trigger event. Depending
on your sleep timer setting (30s, 60s, 90s, 120s), the camera will enter still attempt to
establish connection with router during the countdown. If the camera is able to establish
connection, the camera will enter sleep mode after data transfer (to cloud) completes.
How to Maximized Battery Power:
When the camera is using battery power, we suggest using the following setting to maximize
battery power
• Install the camera where it can receive excellent Wi-Fi network signals (Weak Wi-Fi signal
will force camera to operate using higher Wi-Fi Power, which may consume more power).
• Set Auto Sleep Timer to 30 seconds.
• Place the camera in a brighter lighting environment and turn off night vision.
• Do not stay in live view or system setting mode unless it’s necessary.

- SensorCam offers public cloud storage function, to use this function please have Google Drive
or Dropbox account information ready.
- Please download and install the "Sensorcam" APP to your device.
- Make sure MicroSD card is inserted into the camera as the camera will not function properly
without it. For maximum performance, please only use Class 10 rated MicroSD card.
SETUP THE APP
The Portable Event Camera is designed to deliver high denition video footages to your smart-
devices, with the option of using Google Drive cloud or Dropbox as free storage service. If you do
wish to activate the cloud storage function, prior to the camera/app setup process, make sure you
have existing Google Drive or Dropbox account. To sign up for the service:
Google Drive: https://www.google.com/drive/
Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/

Router Setup, following with Cloud Storage Setup. You may skip the Cloud Storage Setup until a
later time if preferred.
If you skip the Cloud Storage Setup the camera can still function. Without cloud storage all motion
triggered video event les will only be saved in the camera's memory card.
With the Cloud Storage function setup and enabled, all video events recorded les will be saved
in the memory card, and copies of the les will also be transferred to Google Drive or Dropbox for
anytime-anywhere access (smart phone/ tablet must connecting to internet).
The storage space of the camera's memory card is limited therefore once reaching its maximum
capacity, the camera will automatically delete the oldest video event files to free up the space
for new ones. Event les transferred to Google Drive or Dropbox will require manual delete once
reaching its maximum storage capacity, or you can purchase additional storage space.
For iSO For Android
