Things to Know Before Getting Started

Your WiFi Internet Connection

– One critical factor affecting the performance of your P70 camera is the relative position of your home WiFi router and the P70. Set up your P70 in an open area (DO NOT place it on the floor); the closer the camera is to the router, the stronger the WiFi signal will result in better image quality & stability and overall satisfaction of the P70 or any IP Camera for that matter.
– A slow network speed will also affect the performance of your P70 camera. It is recommended that you have an upload speed of at least 2Mbps or higher per camera. You can easily test your network’s upload and download speeds @ www.speedtest.net or get the speed test app.

Network Name and Password

– Have your WiFi network name and password handy. The WiFi network name is commonly referred to as the SSID. The password or security ID is normally the next line or two down from the WiFi/SSID network name. These can be easily found on your WiFi router if they were not changed when you first install the WiFi router, for example:
– WiFi/SSID Network Name: XXXX
– WiFi/SSID Network Password/Security Key: XXXXX

Operating System Requirements

– iOS 8.0 and above with iPhone 5 or newer;
– Android 5.0 and above

Motion Detection

Timing
This is useful if you installed the P70 in a busy room or area. You can define a timeframe during which you wish to receive motion alerts.
Activity Zone
With your own custom Activity Zones, you can define certain areas of interest in your camera’s view and get notifications when there is motion; therefore the alerts become more specific and meaningful and other activities detected by other areas can be blocked without any bother. You can monitor up to 2 zones per camera, tailor each zone a custom size and delete.

Notification Settings
This setting enables you to:

Change the alert tone of the push notifications.
If you want to receive an email notification whenever the motion is detected, you can turn on the “Email” function and input the receiving email addresses.

Network Configuration
Reconfiguration enables you to reconfigure the Camera when a network issue has arisen. And switch between networks enables you to connect your Camera with another nearby WiFi network, without repeating the camera-phone pairing process. You can check your current network and the signal strength as well.

Time Settings
This setting enables you to synchronize device time to your mobile, to make sure the time shown on the history and the time on push notifications are correct.
When motion is detected, you will receive a push notification: (for example) Activity detected by [P70 camera name] at 08:20:00 GMT+2 Or Activity detected by [P70 camera name] at 07:20:00 GMT+1 DST during Daylight Saving Time.
Firmware Update
This setting enables you to update your P70 camera to the latest firmware if necessary. WHEN AN UPDATE IS TAKING PLACE, FORCED TERMINATION WILL CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR P70 Camera. It is highly recommended that you keep your camera plugged in at all times, and DO NOT SWITCH THE DEVICE OFF BEFORE AN UPDATE IS COMPLETED.
