  6. Test the connection: Verify live view works before mounting.
  7. Mount the bracket: Hold the mounting bracket at your chosen location and mark the screw holes. Drill pilot holes and secure with the provided screws.
  8. Attach and adjust camera: Mount the camera and adjust the angle using the app's live view as a guide.

  • False motion alerts: Narrow detection zones to exclude areas with frequent movement (trees, roads). Reduce sensitivity settings. Enable human-only detection.
  • Spotlight too bright/dim: Adjust spotlight brightness in camera settings. Set motion-activated or dusk-to-dawn schedules.
  • Water in camera housing: Ensure all ports are properly sealed. Check that the camera is mounted with the cable pointing downward to prevent water ingress.
