Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The DCS-8000LHV3 Mini Full HD Wi-Fi Camera is a compact wireless network camera suitable for day and night time
environments. It features built-in night vision, motion and sound detection, and a free mobile app — so you will never
miss a moment when you’re away from home. Despite its small size, the DCS-8000LHV3 is designed for comprehensive
indoor monitoring. Person Detection allows you to be notied of human motion as it can distinguish people from other
moving objects. Unlike other cameras that bog you down with a never-ending stream of irrelevant motion-detection alerts,
this camera is smart enough to send you an alert only when it really matters. Built-in motion and sound detection will
automatically send alert notications to your mobile device. Night-time monitoring is possible with the built-in infrared LED
which allows for night-time viewing of up to 16 feet, so you can relax knowing you have 24/7 monitoring of your home or
small oce.

Please read all of the safety and operating instructions before using device:
• Do not open the device or attempt to repair it.
• Do not submerge the device in liquid or attempt to clean it with liquids or solvents. To clean the device, disconnect it
from the power outlet and use a damp towel to gently wipe it down.
Before you Begin
Plan the location of your camera:
• Verify that your camera is electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.
• Connect the camera's power adapter into an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch. This will help avoid
accidentally turning o power to the device.
• Be sure to plug the device into a properly grounded electrical outlet in order to help prevent against electrical shock.
• Make sure that the device is rmly mounted.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The DCS-8000LHV3 Mini Full HD Wi-Fi Camera lets you view video footage from virtually anywhere within the operating
range of your wireless network. Keep in mind that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that
the wireless signals must pass through may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and
background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these
basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the camera and wireless access point to a minimum - each wall or ceiling
can reduce your camera’s range from 1 to 30 meters (3 to 90 feet). Position your devices so that the number of walls or
ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 0.5 meters (1.5 feet) thick, at a 45-degree angle
appears to be almost 1 meter (3 feet) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 14 meters (42 feet) thick! Position devices so
that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on range. Try
to position access points, wireless routers, and cameras so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways.
Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and
concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away at least 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6 feet) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

Device Placement
To get the most out of your camera’s view and features, please take the following placement guidelines into consideration.
