PIR “Body Detection” is on by default and the default sensitivity is “Mid”, but it is adjustable.
“My Device” - The detecting distance is 6 meters (20 feet).
ALARM PUSH NOTIFICATION AND PLAYBACK
Battery camera with PIR sensor is not designed for 7*24 all day recording, but aims at
pushing alarm message notification to app and record video to microSD card when PIR
sensor detected human body motion events, then you can playback the motion videos
wherever you are via Akaso Smart.
When PIR triggered, camera and system actions:
1. Alarm Sound in App (please open permission for Akaso Smart notification in mobile
setting and turn mobile volume is on).
2. Alarm Message Notification (Please enable Akaso Smart notification in mobile setting).
3. Alarm snapshot and video will be recorded on microSD card (please insert TF card) or
Cloud storage.
NOTE: Higher sensitivity offers longer detecting distance, but it would lead to more false
alarms. You are advised to set up the sensitivity level to “Low” or “Medium” when you install
the camera outdoors.
Sensitivity Detection Distance (For moving and living things)
Up to 4 meters (13 feet)
Up to 6 meters (20 feet)
Up to 8 meters (26 feet)

BATTERY MANAGEMENT
1. The camera has a built-in 6000 mAh 18650 battery, which can be used for 60-90 days in
theory, assuming the camera wakes up 15 mins per day and watching 10 mins of video.
(Note: The life of the battery depends on the times of the camera’s wake-up. The more
the times of wake-up, the faster the battery capacity is consumed.)
2. If the battery capacity is less than 20%, the app will send an alarm message to remind
you to charge in time.
3. You can charge the camera with DC 5V/1A power adapter, or remove the built-in two
18650 batteries, charge the battery separately or replace it with a new one. (Note: It is
recommended to use a compliant battery replacement)
4. If your battery is consumed too quickly, the possible cause is that the camera is woken
up too frequently. It is recommended to lower down the “Body Detection” sensitivity or
turn it off occasionally.
Put the battery cover back
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR REDUCING FALSE ALARMS
1. Do not install the camera in a position facing any objects with bright lights, including
sunshine, bright lamp lights, etc.
2. Do not place the camera too close to a place where there are frequently moving
vehicles. Based on numerous tests, the recommended distance between the camera
and vehicle is 15 meters (55 feet.).
3. Stay away from the outlets, including air conditioner vents, humidifier outlets, the heat
transfer vents of the projects, etc.
4. Do not let the camera facing the mirror.
5. Keep the camera at least 1 meter away from any wireless devices in order to avoid
wireless interference, including Wi-Fi router and phones.
6. When installing the camera, it’s not suggested to make the PIR sensor vertically face the
moving objects, otherwise it may not detect the motion event. It is suggested to make
the angular between PIR sensor and detected object larger than 10 degree.
