Information
CAMERA
Front
Rear
Bottom (open cover)
Camera base (inside)
The camera is factory equipped with a microSD card for video recordings. If you do not use the ring memory function or need more storage space, you can replace it with a commercially available microSD card (max. 128 GB, min. class 10). The provided removal aid can be used to remove the card. To remove and insert the memory card, the camera must be disconnected from the power supply. The microSD card audibly snaps into place when fully inserted.
FACTORY RESET
If there are any difficulties during the setup or you have forgotten the
access data (password and security code), reset the camera back to factory
settings:
Open the cover on the bottom of the camera using an allen key and press the
reset button for at least 5 seconds, using a thin object (e.g. the removal
tool for the microSD card or a paper clip) until the status LED flashes.
TEMPORARY POWER SUPPLY
The camera can be set up using the app before installation. Advantages: You
can already see the first live image and fine-tune the camera’s viewing
direction directly during installation. During set-up, use the included USB
cable for temporary power supply and a standard smartphone charging plug (5V,
1 A). Connect it to the corresponding connector of the camera; located on the
bottom of the camera behind the cover.
IMPORTANT!
-
Installation of the device involves work on the mains power supply.
It must therefore be carried out by a specialist in accordance with the national installation regulations and connection requirements. Electrical wires must be disconnected from the power supply during installation. Therefore, switch off the power first. Make sure that the circuit breaker remains switched off during the entire installation process. If possible, ensure that this circuit breaker is not accessible. Afterwards, determine the absence of voltage at all poles using a suitable measuring device.
-
Using the drilling template, mark the position of the required drill holes, drill the holes and insert the dowels.
-
On the back of the camera base, three small holes are indicated for the three wires of the power cable that is supposed to supply the camera with regular voltage. Feed the three wires through the rubber seal at the through the rubber seal at the corresponding points. Make sure that the cable length is suitable for the following connection to the screw terminal block in the base of the mount. Install the base of the mount in the intended camera position using the supplied screws.
-
Connect the live conductor, neutral conductor and the PE conductor that were previously passed through the base to the screw terminal block.
Tip: The screw terminal block can be removed from its holder.
L = Live conductor (usually black or brown)
N = Neutral conductor (usually blue)
= Protective earth conductor (green-yellow)
-
The base of the mount has a so-called parking position for the camera. Place the camera in the parking position for the following cabling.
-
Important! Connect the (green-yellow) protective earth conductor, which is already connected to the cover of the foot ex factory, to the terminal block in the camera foot. If necessary: Use the small wire rail in the camera foot for the wire. Then connect the power cable of the camera via the (black) plug correctly to the connector in the camera foot.
Note : The plug is locked in the correct position to prevent accidental disconnection during further installation. When disassembling, pay attention to the appropriate clamping mechanism to avoid damaging the cabling.
-
Now take the camera connected by power cable out of the parking position and screw it back onto the base of the mount. Make sure that no cables are pinched.
-
Attach the antenna to the connector on the back of the camera.
-
The camera is now fully functional. Make sure that no one is handling other open power lines in the house and then switch on the power supply for the camera. You can access the live image again after a prox. 60 seconds if you have already carried out set-up via the app. If not already done: Now start the initial set-up via the app.
-
To adjust the exact viewing direction of the camera: Slightly loosen the three screws on the bracket to tilt and/or swivel the camera. Tip: Use the live image in the app for fine-tuning.
