What you bought
These wifi cameras are called Smart-Home because they are intended for home automation. You
can connect these cameras to your WiFi network and then control them as you wish with the
Smart Life home automation app, even via the Internet. With the Smart Life app you can also
control our remote controls and our intercoms of this DM series that allow you to create your own
smart home
This manual tells you how to install and configure the cameras.

Electrical connection of
cameras with power supply
These Smart-Home cameras are WIFI and for this they only require the power supply that you
supply via the supplied 12V power supply.
Electrical connection of
battery cameras
Battery-powered Smart-Home cameras can work without any electrical connection, thanks to
their internal battery. These cameras are equipped with a PIR presence detector and can be
used successfully in areas where there is an occasional passage of people.
These cameras work normally in stand-by condition consuming very little battery. If the PIR
sensor detects a presence, they are activated to record the video and possibly to send
notifications. They are also activated when a remote connection with the app is requested.
Thanks to this system, these cameras can operate for many days before requiring battery
charge. A solar panel is also available which is able to automatically recharge the batteries.
When the battery runs out, you can receive an alert notification to proceed with charging the
battery. The battery is recharged by connecting a USB power supply or a computer. A red LED
stays on during charging and turns green when charging is complete.

Positioning
When choosing the installation position of the cameras pay attention to these precautions
CHECK THE WIFI COVERAGE
Before placing the camera in its final location, remember that this device must connect to your
wifi network in order to function. You should therefore check with your mobile phone that the
point where you want to put it there is good coverage of your wifi network. If you see that the
signal is poor, you should intervene on your wifi network, perhaps enhancing it with a repeater.
Do not install the product in an area with poor wifi signal as it would then be unreliable in its
operation.
SD card
Smart-Home cameras can record video on a micro SD card (not included) that you can insert
inside. The SD card slot is located behind the protective door. You can insert any Class 10 SD
card with capacities up to 128GB.
Reset
Smart-Home cameras are always equipped with a reset button that you can find between the
connections, or behind the protective door. Press and hold this button for a few seconds if you
want to restore factory conditions to pair the camera to a new wifi network. A voice message
alerts you to the reset in progress.
You must perform this reset if you want to connect your camera to a new access point, even
within your own LAN network.
