when the moving object and thebackground have similar colours.

R Movement may be incorrectly detectedwhen there are sudden changes to theoverall brightness level, such as whenlights are turned on.

R Detection becomes difficult when the imageis dark.

R You can adjust the area detectable by thevisual sensor. For more information, refer tothe User’s Guide (page 13).

Confirming the usage area

Wireless communication rangeThe wireless communication range of eachdevice in the system from the hub isapproximately 50 m indoors andapproximately 300 m outdoors. Wirelesscommunication may be unreliable when thefollowing obstacles are located between thehub and other devices.R Metal doors or screensR Walls containing aluminium-sheet insulationR Walls made of concrete or corrugated ironR Double-pane glass windowsR Multiple wallsR When using each device on separate floors

or in different buildingsNote:R The camera’s LED indicator blinks quickly

in red if it is out of range of the hub. In thiscase, confirm all connections, includingthose of the hub.

Usage area cautionsUsing the camera in the following areas maycause deformation, malfunction, or operationalfailure.R In direct sunlightR Areas exposed to grease or steam, such as

kitchensR Near fire or heating devices

Note about power connections

AC adaptor connectionR The AC adaptor must remain connected at

all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feelwarm during use.)

R The AC adaptor should be connected to avertically oriented or floor-mounted ACoutlet. Do not connect the AC adaptor to aceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the weight ofthe adaptor may cause it to becomedisconnected.

Power failureR The camera will not work during a power

failure.

Placing the camera on a flat areaWhen you place the camera on a flat area,you can prevent the camera from falling bypassing a string through the hole (page 7) inthe stand.1 Pass a string (not supplied) through the

hole in the stand.2 Tie the string and hook it to the bracket.

Testing the motiondetection rangeAfter you have installed the [Home Network]app on your mobile device, you can use yourmobile device to test the performance of thecamera’s motion detection feature. For moreinformation, refer to the User’s Guide(page 13).1 Start the [Home Network] app and

display live images from the camera.2 Move to an area within the camera’s

viewable area.3 While moving near the camera, use your

mobile device to observe where you arein the viewable area when the camera’smotion detection feature is triggered.R When the motion detection feature is

triggered, the camera’s LED indicatorlights in red for about 3 seconds.

4 Note the areas of the viewable areawhere movement is detected, and makeadjustments as necessary.

Note:R You can adjust the area detectable by the

visual sensor. For more information, refer tothe User’s Guide (page 13).

Testing the microphoneTo test the microphone, speak loudly andclearly into the microphone while a mobiledevice user is viewing live images from thecamera.

Features available whenusing the [Home Network]appSome of the features that are available whenusing the [Home Network] app are listedbelow. For more information, refer to theUser’s Guide (page 13).– Alarm system

You can use the app to arm and disarm thealarm system, confirm the current status ofthe sensor, and view a log of previousevents.

– Live camera monitoringYou can view live images from the camera,even while away from home.

– Listen and talkYou can use your mobile device to talk andlisten to anyone within range of thecamera’s microphone and speaker.

– Sensor adjustmentYou can adjust the detection range of thevisual sensor and the setting levels of thesound sensor and temperature sensor.

– Sensor integrationYou can configure the camera’s sensorfeatures to trigger other system events,such as camera recording*1, turning on anelectric device (such as a lamp), etc.(Appropriate device required.)*1 A commercially-available microSD

card must be inserted into the hub inorder to record images.

– NotificationYou can configure the camera to send anotification to the [Home Network] appwhen the camera’s sensor features aretriggered, for example, when motion isdetected, if a baby is crying (sound sensor)or if the room becomes too warm or toocold (temperature sensor).
