All Sensors are wirelessly linked to the Hub.

In the event of alarm activation, for example, when a Sensor is triggered, a push notification will automatically be sent to you and other pre-authorized users.

The system can be controlled and monitored both on-site using the remote control supplied and remotely with the DreamCatcher Life app on the App Store and
Google Play.

The system can easily be expanded to include up to 50 wireless sensors and 10 remote controls.

LED Indication

Note: The Hub must be plugged in to the Power Adapter in order to maintain the WiFi connection.
When AC power is lost, , the speaker will beep for 30 seconds and the Hub will stay online for 2 minutes; long enough to send out push notifications to users alerting them of the power disconnection.

Remote Control

The remote control can be used to Arm (Away Mode), Home Arm, and Disarm the
system. It can also be used to trigger an emergency alarm (SOS) manually.

unoccupied.
| Sets the system to Disarm mode. No sensors will trigger the alarm.
Note: When system is set to ‘Disarm’, all fire, smoke, and gas leakage sensors (purchased separately) will remain active as they are factory set to 24-Hour Zone
| Sets the system to Home mode. Sensors that are set to the Home Zone will not be Armed while all the others will be Armed. This mode allows a select set of sensors (Sensor in Arm Zone and 24-Hour Zone, for example, door/ window contacts) to be Armed, allowing the occupier freedom of movement within the property.
| The SOS Button will trigger the alarm and send an alert notification to registered users regardless of the hub mode.

| Press the [    ] button. After the indicator on the remote control blinks once, press [  ] button within 3 seconds to mutely arm the system.
| Press the [   ] button. After the indicator on the Remote Control blinks once, press [    ] button within 3 seconds to mutely disarm the system.

Door/ Window Contact

Door/window contacts are set to ‘Armed’ zone by default and are ideal for protecting entry/exit points such as front doors, back doors, and windows. When the system is Armed (Away Mode) and the door/window contact is triggered
(magnet separated from the transmitter), the hub internal siren will sound immediately and send a push notification with the sensor name to its registered users.

Tamper Switch

The tamper switch (small black button underneath the back cover) will activate the
alarm if an unauthorized attempt is made to remove the contact from its installed location

Low Battery Indication
If the LED indicator flashes once per 3 seconds, the battery must be replaced.

Getting Started

Step One: Download the App

Download the app from the App Store or Google Play by searching the keywords “DreamCatcher Life”.

Step Two: Register/ Log In

Press the “Register” button on the page and follow the instructions to create your
account first.
Once you have an account, log in to add a hub to your account.

Step Three: Connect the Hub to Your Router

• Tap [+] in the home page, choose the device.

• Follow the app instructions to connect the device to your home Wi-Fi network.
  

AP Mode: Press and hold the configuration button for 3 seconds. The hub will then
beep once. When the red and blue indicators flash alternately, tap “Confirm” to enter the Wi-Fi password for the connected network. Then, connect to “OV-300
Alarm” on the Wi-Fi list from your mobile device. Once connected, return to the app and wait for the connecting process to complete.

Important: The Hub does not support 5GHz band WiFi. If a dual-band (5GHz and 2.4GHz) router is used, make sure to connect to the 2.4GHz WiFi instead of the 5GHz’s. Make sure your smart phone is connected to the local WiFi network and then follow the steps in the app to connect the hub to the router.

Main Page

Devices: There are four shortcut actions right below the hub online status: homearm, disarm, arm and SOS.

Rooms: If you have created rooms for your home, rooms will be listed here. Check for more information on [Me]-[Home Management]-[My Home]-[Room Management]. You can assign the hub to the room you’d like (for example Living
Room), then the hub will be shown under [Rooms]-[Living Room] as well.

Devices Shared with Me: You can check all the devices shared by other accounts to you here, and tap on to rename the device.

APP Control and Settings

System Status

Arm (Away Mode)

All sensors will detect for anomalies during this mode. The hub internal siren will
sound immediately when a sensor is triggered. You and other pre-authorized users will receive push notifications on your phones.
This mode is suitable when the property is unoccupied. It can be set from the remote control or app

Home (Part Arm)

The hub stops receiving alarm signals from all Home Zone sensors during this mode. This allows you and your family to move freely inside your home without triggering an unwanted alarm.

Note: The door/window sensor in this kit has been set to Arm zone by default, you can change its zone mode on the “Accessory” section of the App.
This mode is recommended for when someone is at home. It can be set from the remote control or app.

Disarm

All sensors will not be activated except 24-Hour Zone sensors. All 24-Hour Zone sensors will trigger the alarm regardless of system status.

Add New Accessories to the Hub

Remote control, Door sensor and other accessories.
Enter the Smart Hub page and tap. Then, tap “+” and trigger the accessory to add it to the hub.

Please note that pressing the tamper switch instead of triggering the sensor will register it as a 24-Hour Zone sensor.

Edit Accessories

Tap the accessory to enter its setting page where you can rename the device or set
the device type and zone mode.
Turn off the switch to disable the accessory.

Zone Mode

Arm Zone

Sensors set to Armed Zone are activated when the system is in Away (Full Arm) or
Home Arm (Part Arm) status. We recommend setting window/door sensors to this zone as they usually secure the perimeter of the house.

Home Zone

Sensors set to Home Zone are only activated when the system is in Away (Full
Arm) status. During Home Arm mode, these sensors can not activate the alarm on
triggered. We recommend setting PIR motion sensors to this zone as they usually secure the interior of the house.

24-Hour Zone

Sensors set to 24-Hour Zone will activate the alarm when triggered, regardless of
the alarm status at the time (away or disarmed).

Delay Zone

Sensors set to Delay Zone will work similarly to Armed Zone sensors. However,
these sensors will only activate the alarm after a set alarm delay time* when triggered.

• Entry Delay Time: you can set this delay time on OV-300 [Settings]-[Delay Settings]-[Entry Delay].

Note: Optional Smoke, Gas Leakage or Water Flood Sensors are automatically registered as 24-Hour Zone Sensors and cannot be changed to other Zone. Any Motion or Door/ Window Sensor paired to the Hub by pressing the Tamper Switch will also register as a 24-Hour Zone sensor.
