2.3 Connecting to power adapter
Connect the adapter to an AC power, and
connect the mini-USB plug to the power
interface of the TUTA camera .(See Figure 1
TUTA camera instruction)
This camera has a built-in rechargeable
Lithium battery.
The camera will notify the user when the
power changes. For example, if the power
adapter is disconnected or failure of AC
power occurs, the TUTA camera will notify
the user: External power cut. The device is
operating on battery.
If the TUTA camera is again connected to the external power or the AC power is
restored, a notification will be sent to the user stating: The device is now resuming
the use of external power source.
Low battery: The configuration settings cannot be saved when the TUTA camera
is operating on low battery.
2.4 Mounting the camera
The TUTA camera can be mounted on a wall (vertically with the screws) or placed on
any suitable horizontal surface.
How to choose the installation location:
To capture better image quality, avoid any areas where bright light will be shining
directly into the lens of the camera.
In order to avoid backlit photography, the camera should be located where it can
look down the monitoring place with the minimum angle of 30 degrees.
The GSM network’s signal strength may affect the image, live voice quality and
MMS transmission speed. On installation the user should verify that TUTA camera
is located in an area with a strong network signal.
After installation, the user should perform a test-run by taking several images and
sending them to the user’s mobile phone. This allows the user to check the image
quality of the camera. The position of TUTA camera can then be adjusted until a
satisfactory image quality level is reached.
