REGULATORY INFORMATION:
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
This equipment has been designed and tested to fulfill applicable standards for:
• Radio frequency emission when installed according to the instructions and used in its intended
environment.
• Immunity to electrical and electromagnetic phenomena when installed according to the instructions
and used in its intended environment.
ANTENNA SPECIFICATIONS
USA
This equipment has been tested using a shielded network cable (STP)and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate the radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

BATTERY
These products use a lithium battery as the power supply for its internal real-time clock (RTC). Under normal
conditions this battery will last for a minimum of five years. Low battery power affects the operation of the
RTC, causing it to reset at every power-up. The battery should not be replaced unless required, but if the
battery does need replacing, contact IPVideo Corporation support for assistance. Lithium coin cell 3.0 V
batteries contain 1,2-dimethoxyethane; ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (EGDME), CAS no. 110-71-4.
• Risk of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.
• Replace only with an identical battery or a battery which is recommended by IPVideo Corporation
• Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations or the battery manufacturer’s instructions.
• Risque d’explosion si la batterie est remplacée de manière incorrecte.
• Remplacez uniquement avec une batterie identique ou une batterie recommandée par IPVideo
Corporation.

INTRODUCTION
HALO Smart Sensors are IoT devices that detects environmental changes that occur in many
locations including privacy concern areas where surveillance cameras can’t be installed. HALO
Smart Sensors are capable of detecting many things such as vaping, smoke, vaping with THC,
specific key words, gunshots, air quality, and aggression in areas a camera cannot be placed.
Additional sensors give HALO the ability to monitor air quality index (AQI), temperature, humidity,
many hazardous chemicals and more. When the sensor values exceed threshold levels, HALO
Smart Sensor can send alerts to responders.
