Caution

This function is not designed for disaster or crime prevention.

To prevent the situation of forgetting to turn off the power, this unit will turn off automatically after 10 days of continuous usage.

When not monitoring from a smartphone, the focus of the camera is fixed.

Even when monitoring from a smartphone, the focus of the camera will be fixed if not operated for more than 3 hours. (Focus works again when the camera is operated.)

You may have difficulty establishing a connection via direct monitoring in an environment where the camera is placed away from the smartphone. In this case, connect using the access point (wireless LAN router).

Depending on the device in use or connecting environment, it may take some time to establish a connection.
