Here is a simple guide that will walk you through the features available in the AirSight App
Getting to know the AirSight app
Upon running the app for the first time you will be presented with a blank CAMERA LIST
Use the icons along the bottom of the screen to navigate between the different tabs
CAMERA Tab
After you've added your cameras to the app - you will return to the ADD CAMERA tab to see your list of cameras as well as their status
Use the EDIT button to delete cameras from your list
The SEARCH BAR can be used to quickly locate a specific camera in your list
To edit the settings for the camera tap the SETTINGS ARROW to the right of the camera name to access the EDIT CAMERA MENU
From the EDIT CAMERA MENU you can:
- Rename the camera
- Access the ADVANCED SETTINGS MENU
- Reconnect the camera if it's gone off line.
- Reboot the camera
NOTE: The PASSWORD field, while editable, will NOT change the P2P password for your camera. (See the Security Code Menu section below).
Advanced Settings Menu
The ADVANCED SETTINGS menu shows the current setting for the camera.
To edit tap the RIGHT ARROW button to access that setting's menu options.
Security Code Menu
You can change the P2P password for your camera from the SECURITY CODE menu
- OLD: Type the password your want to change
- NEW: Type your newly chosen password
- CONFIRM: Re-Type your newly chosen password
- Tap OK to SAVE.
Video Quality Menu
Use the VIDEO QUALITY menu to adjust the quality of the image
Video Flip Menu
If the need to mount the camera in an abnormal position arises, use the VIDEO FLIP menu to change the orientation of the image:
- NORMAL: Default orientation
- VERTICAL FLIP: For mounting camera upside down.
- HORIZONTAL FLIP: Mirror Image orientation
- VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL FLIP: Both
Environmental Mode Menu
Use ENVIRONMENT MODE menu to select the appropriate mode for the cameras viewing environment:
- INDOOR MODE: Used for normal indoor environments (50-60Hz)
Power line frequency or mains frequency is the frequency of the oscillations of alternating current (AC) in an electric power grid transmitted from a power plant to the end-user. In large parts of the world this is 50 Hz, although here in America, and some parts of Asia it is typically 60 Hz. AirSight IP cameras have multi-voltage (100-240VAC, 50-60Hz) power supplies for use in both environments - the Light Frequency is simply to communicate to the software which one is in use - however it is unlikely that changing from 50Hz to 60Hz will provide a noticeable difference.
- OUTDOOR MODE: Used for cameras mounted outdoors or facing out windows
NOTE: Facing a camera out a window renders them useless for night time viewing due to the reflection of the IR LEDs.
- NIGHT MODE: Select this mode if Night Vision is the sole operating environment
The AirSight IP cameras will switch to Night Vision in all environmental modes when a change in light is detected. NIGHT MODE should only be chosen if the camera will not be utilized in daylight environments.
WiFi Menu
Use the WIFI menu to program the camera to your wireless network
Locate your wireless network from the list of available networks
Tap your network name in the CHOOSE A NETWORK list to access the JOIN NETWORK menu
Type in your WiFi password (case sensitive) and tap JOIN
Motion Detection Menu
Since the AirSight IP cameras have built-in motion detection the AirSight app can track each instance as an event and save it to the EVENTS list on the EVENTS tab.
Use the MOTION DETECTION menu to adjust the camera's sensitivity to motion.
If you own an AirSight HD SD P2P camera (XX59A) you can also setup the camera to record video on motion to the SD card.
- Instructions can be found: HERE
About Device Menu
The cameras current firmware version can be located in the ABOUT DEVICE menu under VERSION
For AirSight models with SD recording features, you can also determine the size of the on-board SD card (not included) as well as the amount of free space available.
