Chapter 1. Introduction
The Twist HD Camera is a high definition camera that integrates sensor, live viewing and recording functions
onto a single device. These features provide an extra level of security when monitoring your property. Video
feeds can be viewed in real-time from the convenience of your smartphone. Whenever a suspicious motion
or sound is detected, the camera immediately initiates recording, and the app will send a notification. Thus,
wherever you are, you can easily view the recorded event or live feed. Additional highlights include a built-in
microphone and speaker for two-way audio and an ultra-wide viewing angle. These designs ensure that all of
your needs are met for home security and safety, in-home care, or any other application that requires
remote monitoring and recording.

3.1 Before powering on the camera
If you wish to save the video clips locally or turn on the continuous recording function, a MicroSD card needs
to be inserted into the camera. For details about how to check the current storage size of the MicroSD card,
see Section 4.6 –Local Storage.
Note: Before you insert the MicroSD card into the camera, make sure it has been formatted to FAT 32. Do not
insert the MicroSD card into the camera when it is powered on, as this may damage the MicroSD card.

To turn on the camera, complete the following steps.
1. Remove the protective film from the camera lens.
2. Plug the micro USB connector of the USB cable to the camera; then, connect the other end of the cable to
the USB power adapter.
