Before Getting Started:

You’ll want to unbox your Smart Alarm Indoor Camera and plug it into power to charge it prior to installation. You also have the option to install the camera while it is plugged into an outlet; however, we recommend you fully charge the camera before placing it in its final location.

You will need the following tools before installing your Smart Alarm Indoor Camera:

  • USB Power Adapter (5V, 7.5W minimum)

  • Phillips head screwdriver

You'll also need to make sure that your Base Station and Keypad are running the latest software versions. You can check for any updates by using the Keypad and looking for a gear icon, or by going to Menu > Enter Master PIN > System Settings > Check For Updates
