Setup Guide

To set up the tmezon Smart PTZ Battery Camera CQ1H, follow these steps:

You must completely charge the battery before to its initial use.
Get the tmezon app and put it on your phone.
Just turn on the camera and give it a few moments to get into pairing mode.
To link the camera to your Wi-Fi network, launch the app, choose "Add Device," and then follow the on-screen prompts.
Use the mounting kit that came with the camera to set it up anywhere you like.
Through the app, you may adjust any extra options, such the ability to detect motion and receive alarm notifications.

Install the camera

You can place the camera on a shelf or other surfaces to use, or you can install it on a wall to use. (Please connect the camera to the app ﬁrst, make sure that the location of the camera can detect the wireless signal of your router.)

Select a good spot for your camera
Select a good spot for your camera, please install the camera in a position where its view is not blocked and ensure that it is within the coverage of the Wi-Fi network. The PIR infrared sensor is more sensitive to movements across the camera’s ﬁeld of view than movements toward or away from the camera.
The installation height and angle of the camera will aﬀect the detection distance of PIR.
The actual measurement is in the case of 2.2 meters high and -15 ° inclination:
- High sensitivity: 8~10 meters;
- Medium sensitivity: 6~8 meters;
- Low sensitivity: 4~6 meters.
Install the bracket
1. Screw ﬁxing
  Use the drilling tool to punch holes on the wall according to the hole distance of the base. It is recommended to mark the holes on the wall with a pencil before drilling. Screw the expansion nut into the holes on the wall, and then connect the bracket to the expansion nut with screws to complete the ﬁxing.
2. Camera installation
  Insert the camera into the ﬁxed bracket from top to bottom.

	1. Make sure that the WiFi is in 2.4Ghz. The cameradoes not support5Ghz WiFi.
What are the requirements for Wi-Fi?	2.Set the Wi-Fi authentication method to WPA2-PSK or other lower level of security method.
	3.WiFi password should be less than 13 digits.
What is the maximum length of recording time?	If you set the duration as "Auto", when someoneoccurs in the view of the camera,it will startrecording
	a video for up to 3 minutes.

How far should the camera be placedfrom the router?

After testing, the Wi-Fi connection distance cannormally reach up to 150 meters in the open area. However, the actual situation depends on the strength of Wi-Fi and its surrounding environment (thick walls, electromagnetic devices, large metal

objects will all cause interference to the Wi-Fi signals). If the camera connection signal is weak or unstable, please place the camera as close to the router as possible.

What should I do when the device is in malfunction?

Long pressthe power buttonfor 3 seconds to restart it. If thereis no response, you can remove the rubber plug at the button of the camera.Press the reboothole with a pointed objectto restart the camera.

Will the camera show red lights when night vision is activated?

The built-in infrared lamp beads make the camera only show some dim red lights when night visionis activated, but the imagequality is stillclear under no light environment.

Why does the motion detection not work properly?

The PIR detection distance is related to the installation height, angle and sensitivity.

The actual measurement is in the case of

2.2 meters high and -15 ° inclination: High sensitivity: 8~10 meters; Mediumsensitivity: 6~8 meters;Low sensitivity: 4~6 meters.

Why I don’t receive the notiﬁcation on my mobile phone?

Makesure that themotion detection is turned on.

Makesure that the notiﬁcation settingis turned on.

How to do ﬁrmwareupdate?

Whenyou connect your camera through the App, it will prompt you if the latest ﬁrmware is available. You can also manually check the ﬁrmware upgrade in the settings of the App.

Please make sure that your camera is fully charged or connected to the power adapter before upgrading the ﬁrmware, please do not cut oﬀ the power supply during the upgrading.

Why the video is not recorded?

Make sure that SD card is recognized by the camera. You can check it on the following interface on the app:

Setting - SD card Management

If the SD card is not recognized by the camera, power oﬀ the camera, then power on the camera again, the camera will recognize the SD card.

(Note: Please insert the SD card into the camera before powering on.)

Make sure that the motion detection is within the detection range of the camera, please refer to " Select a good spot for your camera", otherwise, the camera will not record.

What should I do if the battery run out so fast?

If the trigger is too frequent, the recording time is too long or the network signal is not good, etc., it will lead to fast power consumption.

You can try to solve it in the following ways.

what_should_i_do_if_the_battery_run_out_so_fast_tmezon_smart_ptz_battery_camera_cq1h.png

Decrease motion detection sensitivity
Go to the "Settings > Motion Detection" page and reduce the sensitivity.
Turn on the recording interval
Once the Cool down time is on, no video will be recorded again within the set time interval, which can increase the camera's battery life. Go to the "Settings > Motion Detection" page, and enable the record interval.
Adjust the monitoring angle of the camera to avoid frequent triggering of PIR
If the camera is within the monitoring range, there will be frequent movements (such as entrances and exits, roads), which will cause the PIR to be triggered frequently, resulting in fast power consumption. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid scenes or monitoring angles that are frequently triggered by motion when installing cameras.
Adjust video resolution and video duration
It is recommended to set the recording resolution of the camera to SD and the recording time to 10s
Turn oﬀ "Alarm Bell" and "Alarm Flash”
Turn on the "alarm bell" or "alarm ﬂash", the camera will make a sound alarm or white light ﬂashing alarm after triggering the PIR, which needs to consume more power. Therefore, you can turn oﬀ the "alarm bell" and "alarm ﬂash" to save power.
Improve the network the camera is connected to
When the network connected to the camera is poor, and the WiFi signal is weak, the camera may be disconnected, and the uploading speed of the video may be slow, resulting in increased power consumption and faster power consumption. It is necessary to ﬁnd a way to enhance the WiFi signal strength at the location of the camera, such as: moving the camera close to the router, adding a WiFi ampliﬁer to enhance the WiFi signal strength at the location where the camera is located, etc.
