Operating With Imou App
Step 1
Scan the following QR code or search “Imou” in Google Play or App Store to
download and install Imou App.
Note: If you have installed the App, update it to the latest version.

Step 2
Run Imou App, and then register an account for the first use.
Step 3
Connect the camera to the power source with the power adapter.
Step 4
Do the following operations to finish adding the camera.
Step 5
Wait for booting to be finished, and then the camera indicator flashes with
green light.
Note
- If you have more than one camera, do step 5 to add them one by one.
- If the Wi-Fi network has changed or the indicator status goes wrong, reset the camera, and then do step 5 to add it again.
Connecting Alarm Input/output
The camera can connect to an external alarm input/output device through
digital input/output.
Step 1
Connect the alarm input device to the alarm input end of the I/O port.
See the following picture.
The device collects different states of alarm input port when the input signal
is idling and being grounded.
- The device collects logic “1” when the input signal is connecting to +3V to +5V or idling.
- The device collects logic “0” when the input signal is grounded.
Step 2
Connect the alarm output device to the alarm output end of the I/O port. The
alarm output is an open-drain output, which works in the following modes.
- Mode A: Level application. The alarm outputs a high and low level, and the alarm outlet is OD, which requires external pull-up resistance (10K Ohm typical) to work. The maximum external pull-up level is 12V, the maximum port current is 300mA and the default output signal is high level (external pull-up voltage). The default output signal switches to a low level when there is alarm output (As long as the operating current is below 300mA, the output low-level voltage is lower than 0.8V).
- Mode B: Switch application. The alarm output is used to drive an external circuit, the maximum voltage is 12V and the maximum current is 300mA. If the voltage is higher than 12V, please use an additional electric relay.
Step 3
Log in the web interface, and configure alarm input and alarm output in the
alarm setting.
- The alarm input in the web interface is corresponding to the alarm input end of the I/O port. There will be high-level and low-level alarm signals generated by the alarm input device when an alarm occurs, set the input mode to “NO” (default) if the alarm input signal is logic “0” and to “NC” if the alarm input signal is logic “1”.
- The alarm output in the web interface is corresponding to the alarm output end of the device, which is also the alarm output end of the I/O port.
Installing Camera
Note:
Make sure the mounting surface is strong enough to hold at least three times
the device’s weight.
Step 1 Drill screw holes on the mounting surface as the
positioning map shows, and then put in the expansion bolts.
Step 2 Attach the camera pedestal to the mounting surface with the self-
tapping screws.
Step 3 Connect the cable and start the camera.
Step 4 Loosen the adjusting knob and adjust the camera to a proper
surveillance position as needed.
Step 5 Secure the adjust knob to fix the camera.
