NEWAPP6B.png



Date/Time Settings Menu

Use the DATE/TIME SETTINGS menu to sync the camera's date and time with your smartphone or tablet

Please note that this feature is not supported on all models - the camera must be an XX69A, XX70A or newer to utilize this feature

NEWAPP7B.png

NEWAPP9.png



Motion Detection Menu

Use the MOTION DETECTION menu to turn motion detection ON/OFF, adjust the sensitivity of the detection, and set the required action when a motion event is triggered


NEWAPP10.png



SDCard Settings Menu

If your camera model includes an on board SDCard slot, you can check the available capacity of the SDCard, format the SDCard, and set the recording frequency to the SDCard from the SDCARD SETTINGS menu

NEWAPP11.png NEWAPP11B.png



Firmware Version Menu

The FIRMWARE VERSION menu displays your camera's current firmware version

NEWAPP13.png



Environmental Mode Menu

Use the ENVIRONMENT MODE menu to select the appropriate mode for the cameras viewing environment:

NEWAPP14.png


  • 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.



PHOTOS & VIDEO Tab

Use the LOCALRECORD tab to access your VIDEO and SNAPSHOTS

NEWAPP15.png


Use the VIDEO and SNAPSHOT tabs at the top of the screen to navigate between them

NEWAPP17.png


Tap the PHOTO or VIDEO to view

NEWAPP16.png


Use the DEL button to discard an individual PHOTO/VIDEO or DEL ALL to discard all PHOTO/VIDEOS in the menu.

NEWAPP16B.png NEWAPP17B.png



SD CARD Tab

If your camera model includes an on board SDCard slot, you can access the snapshots and videos stored on the SDCard from the SDCARD tab


NEWAPP18.png



MORE INFO Tab

Use the MORE INFO tab to access the TRAFFIC STATISTICS, HELP, and ABOUT menus

NEWAPP19.png



TRAFFIC STATISTIC

From the TRAFFIC STATISTICS page you can program the allotted usage for your camera per month

NEWAPP20.png



HELP

The HELP page offers a visual image of the options in the app

NEWAPP21.png



ABOUT
