- It is recommended to use only the supplied USB power adapter and cable, but if either or both must be replaced, use only USB power supplies (do not use unregulated and/or non-USB power sources) and USB Micro B connector cables.
- Do not disassemble, open or attempt to repair or modify the camera, as damage sustained is not covered by the warranty.
- Do not disassemble, open or attempt to repair or modify the camera, as damage sustained is not covered by the warranty.
- The camera pan & tilt is operated by the app. Do not manually rotate the camera, as this may damage the motor or gearing.

Installation
It is recommended that you setup and test your new camera before installing it
(if applicable; for ceiling-mounting applications, etc.)
Location considerations (finding a suitable location for the camera):
- The camera can be placed on a stable surface, or mounted on the ceiling. It can not be directly mounted to a wall.
- Avoid locations where the camera will be subjected to direct sunlight or intense lighting or reflections.
- Avoid locations where the objects viewed may be intensely backlit (intense lighting from behind the viewed object).
- While the camera has night vision, ideally there is ambient lighting.
- If placing the camera on a table or other low surface, consider small children or pets that may disturb, tamper with, or knock down the camera.
- If placing the camera on a shelf or location higher than the objects to be viewed, please note the camera’s tilt below the camera ‘horizon’ is limited.
If ceiling-mounting is desired, please make note of the following important information:
- Use extra care to ensure the camera is mounted securely to the ceiling surface.
- Ensure the USB cable is secured in such a way that the weight of the cable does not pull down on the camera.
- The warranty does not cover physical damage to the camera.
Physically installing or mounting the camera:.
If mounting the camera on a shelf, table or countertop, simply place the camera at the desired location. It is not necessary to precisely aim it at this time, as the position of the camera lens can be adjusted in the app. Plug in the USB cable to the camera and the plug-in power adapter, then refer to the full Installation & Setup Guide to complete the setup and configuration of the camera.
Ceiling-mounting:
-
Determine the location for the camera.
Before permanently installing the camera, you may wish to temporarily place the camera at the intended location, and check the video images in the app. For example, hold the camera in position on the ceiling, while you or a helper checks the images and field of view and range of motion (by testing the pan and tilt positions). -
Remove the backing from the mounting base template and place it at the desired camera location. Select an appropriate drill bit and drill three holes for the included plastic anchors.
-
Insert the plastic anchors in the holes.
-
Secure the camera mounting base to the ceiling, using the included screws, and tightening them securely with a Phillips screwdriver.
-
Place the bottom of the camera on the mounting base, and snap it into place with a clockwise twisting motion, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Twist the base of the camera, not the camera lens assembly. Check that the camera is secure and that it does not move from the base, and that the base does not move from the ceiling or mounting surface.
-
Connect the USB cable to the camera, then secure the cable to the ceiling and to the wall, over its course from the plug-in power supply. An unsupported or dangling USB cable will apply a slightly downward force on the camera, which, combined with a poor installation, may lead to the camera falling off the ceiling.
Use a suitable technique for this, such as cable staples intended for the application. -
Plug the USB cable into the plug-in power supply/power adapter.
Refer to the full Installation & User Guide, to complete the setup and configuration of the camera.
