  7. Audio Warning If motion or a humanoid object is detected, the camera will sound an audible alarm.(You could adjust the volume.)

  8. White Light Warning If motion or a humanoid object is detected, the camera will sound a light warning.

  9. Audio Warning and Strobe Light If motion or a humanoid object is detected, the camera will sound an audio alarm with a light.

Warm Tip:
When you encounter the following problems in using this camera, you can adjust the motion detection sensitivity to solve them.

Note:

  1. It is recommended that the alarm sensitivity be set to level 8-10 if missed or delayed alarms occur frequently.

  2. It is recommended that the alarm sensitivity be set to level 1-3 if false alarms occur frequently.

  3. It is recommended that you adjust the sensitivity to lower level. Alarm sensitivity and detecting distance from high level are too far to easier from weather and false triggering. In winter, it easily caused false alarms because of bigger temperature range. Also, PIR alarm will be interference from weather and temperature.

  4. It is recommended that you adjust the sensitivity to higher level. In summer, it caused missed of delayed alarms because of smaller temperature range.

  5. If you notice the poor performance of motion detection in the night environment try to turn off “Night Detection”.
    SD Card Record

  6. Human Detection
    You can choose to turn this on to only detect humans, filter other motion detections, and you can also choose the time period for detection.

  7. Recording Time

Battery Management

Charging the camera

It is recommended to use a 5V/2A power adapter for charging. Please use the charging cable in the package to charge this camera.
Note: If a 5 V/2 A power adapter is not available, other sizes of 5V power heads can also be charged.
How to judge whether the charging is successful?
The device’s charging indicator light is red, which means it is charging. A blue light means that charging is complete. It will take approximately 10 hours or more to fully charge.
What should I do if the charge fails?

  1. Determine whether the power adapter is good, try another one.
  2. Determine whether the charging cable is in good condition, if not, please try another one.
  3. The charging indicator may be defective, please check the charging condition in the phone APP.
  4. Determine whether the charging cable of the device is in good contact with the charging port.
  5. The device has a low temperature charging protection module, please don’t charge the device at low temperatures.
  6. Contact customer service: support-eu@cooou.com or support-us@cooou.com.
Battery life

If the device does not detect a moving object the device will enter sleep mode, reducing the power consumption of the device. If the device detects a moving object it quickly wakes up and starts within 1 second and takes screenshot with recorded video. Warm tip: When the temperature is below -20°C, the battery may enter self- protection mode, which caused the camera automatically be shut down. But if the temperature rises, the battery will automatically return to normal state. At the low temperatures, if you need to charge this camera, please place it on home several hours first. In room temperature, the self-protection mode of the battery will automatically be shut off to charge this camera safely.
Why the battery life of my device is poor?
A.Please check whether the number of alarms is too frequent. Because the working time of the device determines the battery life. The more frequent PIR wake-ups, the faster the battery consume due to the longer working time. It is recommended to appropriately lower the motion detection sensitivity of the device and set the alarm interval and alarm time plan. (Note: Outdoor air conditioning units, moving cars and the passing pedestrians will cause frequent alarms. Please adjust the angle of the device to avoid these objects.) B.In cold weather, the battery capacity will be reduced, which will affect the endurance of the device.
