CAMERA INSTALALTION
Compatibility Check
IMPORTANT: Before you start, check to make sure your garage opener model
is compatible with the Niro®2. See below for compatibility check guide.
Niro®2 will work with most garage opener models after 1993. Start by doing the
following:
- For a quick check, use the test wires included. (See next page for how to use test wires).
- Niro®2 is not compatible with garage openers with Security +2.0 (yellow button) or MyQ® technology.
- Visit momentumcam.com for a list of compatible models.
-
If your garage opener is not compatible following the steps above, please contact us at help@momentumcam.com for further assistance.
-
You can do a quick compatibility check using the test wire provided. First locate the ports with wires from your wall remote console to your garage opener.
-
Insert one end of the test wire in one port and the other end in the other port.
If the garage door opens or closes once you place both ends into the ports, then the Niro®2 is compatible with your garage opener. If the garage door does not open or close your garage opener may not be compatible. Contact us at help@momentumcam.com for further assistance.
Note: If you’re still unsure which terminals to connect the wires to, please refer to your garage opener’s instruction manual to verify
Mounting Camera
- It’s recommended to have Niro®2 attached from the bottom of your garage opener using the magnetic base. You may use the provided sticker and metal plate to attach the device to the garage opener if the opener does not have a metallic bottom.
- You can alternatively mount it on the wall using the drill template and hardware provided.
Wiring to Garage Opener
-
Unplug your garage opener power.
-
Locate the terminals on the back of your garage opener. You can also locate this by following the wires from your wall remote console or button to your garage door opener.
-
Connect the garage door wires provided into the same wire ports as your garage wall remote console or button. This may require you to press down on the tabs or loosen screws depending on your garage opener model.
-
Twist the two wires together into each terminal for better connection, but make sure the wall console wires go into their original terminals.
Note: If you’re still unsure which terminals to connect the wires to, please refer to your garage opener’s instruction manual to verify
Wiring to Niro®2
- Insert the other end of the garage door wires into the Door 1 Terminals illustrated above on the back of the Niro®2 device. You may need to use a tool to push down on the buttons to release and insert the wires.
- Once the wires are inserted you may plug back the power for the garage opener.
Note: Both wires are neutral, so it does not matter which wire goes into which of the two ports. However, make sure the open wire ends are not touching each other
Installation Complete
- Congratulations, you have finished installing your Niro®21 See the next page for how to install the Wireless Door Sensor

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Niro®2 Garage Door Camera not pairing?
There could be several reasons. Here are some options for resolution for the
problem:
– You should see the camera’s indicator blinking red and blue before pairing.
– If there is a different color sequence showing, press and hold the reset
using the pin included for 10 seconds on the top of the camera to reset it.
– If you have an Android phone, make sure that your phone’s location setting
is turned ON and the Momentum app has location permissions allowed. (Momentum
does not track location of our users, but this is an Android system
requirement for pairing that cannot be bypassed.)
– Check that you are in an area with a strong Wi-Fi signal. Make sure your
mobile device is on the Wi-Fi network you wish your camera to be connected to.
– Try force closing the app, then open back and try re-pairing.
– Make sure your mobile device is compatible. (iOS 10.0+ / Android 7.0+)
Why doesn’t the app control open/close my garage door?
There could be a few reasons why the app is not opening/closing the garage
door.
– The most common reason is that the garage opener is not compatible with the
Niro®2 device. See our compatibility list on our website. If your garage
opener uses MyQ'”, Security+ 2.0, or has a yellow learn button, the Niro®2
device will NOT be able to control your garage door.
– Is the Niro®2 device making a clicking noise when you trigger the garage
door from the app?
If no, it could be due to a weak network signal or the device itself is
defective.
If yes, then it could be the wiring is loose either on the back of the Niro
device or on the garage opener terminal connections.
Why is the video stream so slow?
This may be caused by a slow connection from the camera. You can also try improving the video speed by lowering the video resolution from the camera settings.
Why can’t I find this device on the pairing list?
Make sure that you’ve downloaded the correct Momentum Secure app from the app store.
Do I need a microSD card to record videos?
A microSD card is not necessary as every camera comes with free cloud storage that allows you to save recorded activity for 24 hours.
How many doors can the Niro®2 Control?
You can control up to 2 garage doors with a single Niro®2 device. You can also pair another wireless door sensor to the second door. (Second door sensor is sold separately)
Why does the stream keep failing to load?
There could be several reasons, but most commonly it may be due to poor internet connection from the mobile device you’re using to stream the camera. Make sure you have a strong internet connection while attempting to stream.
After Installing the Niro®2, will my existing wall buttons and remote control still work?
Yes, the Niro®2 will not affect any existing items.
Why LED indicator on the wireless door sensor is double blinking red?
It indicates the battery is low and battery replacement is needed.
How to replace the wireless door sensor battery?
– Press the tabs on both sides of the top cover and lift as illustrated.
– Replace the CR2450 battery in the battery holder. Once it is secured snap
back the top cover to the base cover.
