Micro SD Card & Motion Detection

  • A Micro SD Card installed in the camera will allow your camera to automatically take a video when motion is detected (PIR Motion Detection must be turned on).
  • Without a Micro SD Card, your camera will only take photos when motion is detected (PIR Motion Detection must be turned on).
  • The Micro SD Card has a loop recording feature where older files will be overwritten for newer recordings, so you will never run out of
    storage space.

Note: Cloud subscription service is a paid optional service which works the same as an inserted Micro SD Card. We would recommend using the Micro SD Card option.

  • Open the Google Home App.
  • In the “Google Home” main screen, select the “+” icon to set up device.
  • Select “Set up device” to add new device, then select “Works with Google”.CONNECT-CSH-ODCAM-A-Outdoor-Camera-fig 19

TROUBLESHOOTING

The Outdoor Camera video feed is not loading.

  • Make sure your smartphone and the Outdoor Camera are connected to the same Wi-Fi connection.
  • Check the distance between the Outdoor Camera and your Wi-Fi router. Any obstructions such as walls and ceilings will reduce the range of your Wi-Fi signal.
  • Remove the Outdoor Camera from its location and bring to the same room as the Wi-Fi router. Allow approx. 5 minutes then check the video feed again. If the video feed loads, then your camera placement may be too far from your Wi-Fi router and an access point may be required to bridge the gap. Alternatively find another location for the Outdoor Camera or Wi-Fi router (if possible).

I am unable to connect the Outdoor Camera to the Connect SmartHome App.

  • Check the Outdoor Camera has a fast-flashing indicator light. If the light is flashing slowly, press and hold the “Reset” for 10 seconds to switch to a fast-flashing light.
  • Check you are only connecting to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. 5GHz networks are not supported.
  • Check the Wi-Fi password you are using is correct. If unsure, try connecting another device to the same Wi-Fi network using that password. If that device fails to connect also then you may be using an incorrect password.
  • When scanning the QR code move the QR code on the phone away, then towards the camera lens a few times so that it can detect it properly. If a tone is not heard from the Outdoor camera then the QR code has not been detected.

Can I use Connect SmartHome on my computer?

  • The Connect SmartHome App is only designed to work on Smartphones and Tablets that use the Apple App store and the Google Play Store.

Tips for Safe Charging

Many devices these days come with built-in batteries or can use rechargeable batteries to help reduce waste. Here are some handy tips which will help prolong your batteries and provide a safe environment when charging.

Avoid overcharging

  • Disconnect chargers and devices after the battery reaches a full charge. Leaving devices on a charger too long can cause them to overheat and can reduce battery life.

Pick the right charger

  • Only use the charger and cable that came with your device. If using an alternative charger, always follow the manufacturer’s recommend charger requirements. Take special care to match the correct voltage and amp values your device requires when picking a charger. Chargers are designed for specific battery types; mixing chargers and batteries could result in unexpected problems.

Charge only on non-flammable surfaces

  • Devices and chargers can get warm or sometimes even hot during charging. Make sure to always place the device and charger on a non-flammable surface when charging. Do not place on beds, pillows, paper, or near any fabric such as curtains or clothing under any circumstances.

Avoid extreme environments

  • Do not recharge your devices in environments where extreme temperatures can occur. On particularly hot days do not charge in places such as the inside of a car, or an unairconditioned room. If it’s possible, try and wait till the evening when temperatures are a bit cooler.

Monitor charging

  • Recharge your devices while you are nearby, preferably in the same room or another room close by. This way when there is a defective battery or charger, you are able to take it off the power supply immediately.
