Camera configuration
-
Open the Heimgard app and follow these steps to connect your camera.
-
Select Outdoor camera 2 from the list.
-
Connect the power cable (B) to the power input (J) and connect the plug from the power adapter (B) to an electrical outlet.
The camera is now booting. Wait until the LED-indicator (G) flashes green before continuing.
-
From the drop-down menu, select the name of your Wi-Fi network (SSID).
NOTE! Select 2.4 GHz (not 5 GHz) if you have both options. You can also enter the network name (SSID) manually.
Remember to distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters. -
On the line below, enter your Wi-Fi password, then tap Next.
-
Before pressing Next, make sure the LED (F) on the camera is flashing green.
-
A QR code will now appear on the screen. Turn the phone screen toward the camera lens (G) to connect the camera to the Wi-Fi network.
Turn the brightness of the screen on your phone to maximum for optimal readability of the QR code in front of the camera.
Hold the phone in front of the camera lens (G) and slowly move it away until the QR code is accepted (LED indicator (F) goes from flashing calm green to fast flashes indicating that the camera is connecting to your Wi-Fi network). -
When the camera is connected to the network, the LED indicator (F) on the camera will light solid green, and you will automatically be taken to the Configure Devices screen. This might take up to several minutes.
-
You can now give the camera a name, such as “Camera balcony” and connect it to a room. Create a new room if the desired room or area does not already exist in the overview.
If you have multiple cameras to set up, repeat step 2, 3, and 6 to 9 to add them individually.
If you change the Wi-Fi network or the LED (F) indicates a fault, reset the camera (see page 12).
Configuration and use
Advanced settings:
The camera can be used for two purposes:
Recording and Generic.
Generic:
The camera does not record when it detects motion.
In the app you can stream and start recording manually.
Recording:
On motion: The camera will record when motion is detected.
On motion when away: The camera will record only when “Away mode” for the
alarm is activated and motion is detected.
The camera starts recording when it detects motion (records up to five minutes). If motion is still detected after five minutes, the recording continues in a new clip.
Where to place your camera
Place the camera as high as possible, in a place where it has a good overview of the area it is to capture and near a power outlet.
Mounting examples
The mounting bracket is flexible and can be adjusted so that the camera can be
mounted on the wall, in the ceiling or similar.
If the camera is to be connected to power inside your home, you will need a drill and a 9mm. twist drill bit. Make sure you have a power outlet nearby before mounting the camera and drilling holes in the wall.
Wall mounting
Before you start: Make sure that the wall material is strong enough to support 3 times the weight of the camera, and that you use screws that are suitable for the wall material.
The supplied screws are intended for wood or similar material and can in combination with the wall anchors be used for mounting in concrete. For mounting on plasterboard walls, lightweight concrete or similar, it is recommended to contact a specialist retailer for advice on suitable fastening materials and anchors.
-
When using wall anchors, use the enclosed positioning map when pre-drilling the holes
-
Attach the mounting bracket to the wall.
-
Connect the device to power and adjust the lens to the desired position.
Factory reset
- Press and hold the reset button (H) for 10 seconds to disconnect the camera from your network. The LED indicator (F) will now turn off.
- To re-install the camera, return to “configure camera” in the manual, and proceed from step 2.
