2.0 Explanation of the Alarm system
All Sensors are wirelessly linked to the EM8617.
In the event of alarm activation, for example, when a Sensor is triggered, a push
notification will automatically be sent to all registered users.
The system can be controlled and monitored both on-site using the Remote Control
supplied and remotely from anywhere in the world, with the FREE iOS and Android
Apps.
The system can easily be expanded to include up to: 50 Wireless Sensors and 10
Remote Controls.

out a push notification to the connected smartphones, and the sounder will keep
beeping for 30 seconds.
3.0 Getting Started
3.1 Download the APP
The EM8617 system can be set and operated with an APP.
The APP is only available for Android and Apple (iOS) devices.
Search for the "OV2" APP in the Google Play store or the Apple Store.
3.2 Sign Up / In
Press the "Sign up" button on the page, and follow the instructions to create your
account first.
Once you have an account, select the "Sign in" button to enter the operation page.

7|ENGLISH
3.3 Connect the EM8617 to your Modem/Router
Power on the EM8617, then follow the configuration steps on App to set up your
EM8617 with your home WiFi. Once the connection is finished, the EM8617 will beep
once, wait until the WiFi indicator and the Status indicator stop blinking, you are ready
to operate your alarm system.
Important: This EM8617 does not support WiFi of 5GHz band, If dual-band (5GHz and
2.4GHz) router is used, make sure to connect with the 2.4GHz WiFi instead of the
5GHz's. Make sure your smartphone is connected to the local WiFi network and then
follow the steps in the App to connect the EM8617 to the router.
4.0 APP Control and Settings
Important Notice: In order to control the system remotely (WiFi/App), the EM8617
must be powered via the Power Adapter. WiFi accessibility is disabled after 2 mins
and the EM8617 beeps 30 times when the EM8617 Power Adapter is unplugged from
the mains power supply and running on batteries.

8|ENGLISH
4.1 System statuses
4.1.1 System Armed
All the sensors are active in this Mode; the EM8617 built-in siren will sound
immediately when a sensor is triggered. You and other pre-authorized users will
receive push notifications on your/their phones.
This mode is recommended for when no one is at home, it can be easily set from the
remote control or the app.
4.1.2 System in Home Mode
Only the sensors configured as Home mode will stop detecting under this Mode, which
enables you and your family to move freely inside your home without triggering an
unwanted alarm.
4.1.3 System Disarmed
All the sensors stop detecting except any sensors that you may have set to Instant
Alarm Zone (they will continuously monitor a particular area). For example, an extra
Water Sensor which has been set to Instant Alarm Zone by default and installed near
a washing machine would trigger alarm if water is detected, regardless of system
status.
4.2 Synchronize Time (Important Setting)
The time shown on your mobile device must be synchronized with the time shown on
the Server prior to setup. Operation history will only be recorded correctly once
synchronization is completed.

9|ENGLISH
4.3 Edit Accessories
Add, rename and change the Zone Mode of each sensor in this setting page. And if
you want to delete the accessory, just press and slide the accessory to the left and
then delete it.
4.4 Sensor Zones
4.4.1 Activated Zone
Sensors set to Activated Zone are armed when the system is in Arm (Full Arm) or
Home Arm (Partially Arm) Mode. We recommend setting Window/Door Sensors to this
zone because they would always be installed to the perimeter of a house in practice,
like doors or windows.
4.4.2 Deactivated Zone
Sensors set to Deactivated Zone are only armed when the system is in Arm (Full Arm)
Mode. If Home Mode (Partially Arm) is used, these Sensors are not armed and will not
activate the alarm on trigger. We recommend setting PIR Motion Sensors (if purchase
separately) to Home Zone because they should be installed inside the house.
4.4.3 Instant Alarm Zone
Sensors set to Instant Zone will activate the alarm when triggered, regardless of the
alarm status at the time (armed or disarmed).
4.4.4 Alarm Delay Zone
The working mode of sensor in this zone will be same as Normal Zone sensor’s, but
the EM8617 will alarm after an Entry Delay Time* if this sensor is triggered when
system was armed or in home mode.
* Entry Delay Time: you can set this delay time on App [Settings]-[Delay Settings]-
[Entry Delay].
