Choose 2.4GHz Wi-Fi SSID, enter the password, and then click “next step”.
Click “OK" to confirm the Wi-Fi information.
After entering the following operation interface, click "Next” to see the "Scan QR Code" interface.
Put the QR code in front of the camera lens about 10-15 cm away. The device lens should aim at the QR code on the phone screen at a distance of 10-15 cm. After the device recognizes the QR code, the camera will make a sound 'Boogu'. After hearing it, please click 'next'.

Camera Installation

How to install with a wall mount?

Select the installation location.
Take the camera and your phone to the installation location.
Use the Installation Guide in the App to diagnose the signal strength of your Wi-Fi network. (It is suggested to install the camera in a place that has a strong Wi-Fi signal so that this camera can work well for you).
Use a power drill and four screws to fix the metal bracket on the wall. It is suggested to install this camera 2.4-3m from the ground.
Clip the camera into the metal bracket and use the four screws to fix the camera.

Tips:

Ensure the wall or surface where you want to install the camera is flat. For easier installation, it is suggested to use a drill. Concrete walls may not be suitable for installation.
Do not install the camera near heat sources, such as air conditioner outdoor units and kitchen smoke outlets.
Avoid installing the product on the side of a lively road. Frequent passing pedestrians and vehicles will keep waking up the camera, resulting in frequent alarm messages and extremely fast power consumption.
Do not install the camera too far from the router. The product needs a good Wi-Fi signal to work well.
When installing the camera, it is not suggested to make the PIR sensor vertically face the moving object, otherwise, it may not detect motion events. It is suggested to make the angle between the PIR sensor and the detected object larger than 15 degrees.

Tip: When sharing, ensure your APP account is registered in the same region. Otherwise, you will not be able to share successfully.

SD Card Record

The product doesn't include an SD card. If you need an SD card to store files, please buy it yourself.

SD card requirements:

It is recommended to use San Disk, Samsung, and other brand cards.
Support 8-128GB capacity.
It is recommended to use a standard Class 10 SD card.
Only FAT32 format is supported.

Note: Insert the memory card into the SD card slot of the device, and the device will automatically start saving videos.

How to watch the videos on the SD card?

Method 1: Click the "History" or "Video Play" button of the alarm information icon in the APP to enter the video playback interface. Drag the timeline or select the alarm point to find the corresponding time period record.
Method 2: Insert the SD card into the computer and convert the video format to MP4 via a third-party. When the video is in MP4 format, you can directly watch it on the computer.

PIR Motion Detection Settings

Enter the application-"Parameter Setting"-"Motion Detection" interface.

Sensitivity	Detecting Distance (For moving objects)
Level 1 -3 (Low)	Up to 4-5 meters
Level 4-7 (Med)	Up to 5-8 meters
Level 8-10 (High)	Up to 8-13 meters

Warm Tip: When you encounter the following problems while using this camera, you can adjust the motion detection sensitivity to solve them.

Note:

It is recommended to set the alarm sensitivity to level 8-10 if experiencing frequent missed or delayed alarms.
It is advised to set the alarm sensitivity to level 1-3 if experiencing frequent false alarms.
Adjust the sensitivity to a lower level if alarm sensitivity and detecting distance from a high level are too far, causing easier false triggering. In winter, it easily causes false alarms due to a bigger temperature range. Also, PIR alarms will be interfered with by weather and temperature.
Adjust the sensitivity to a higher level in summer, as it causes missed or delayed alarms due to a smaller temperature range.
If noticing poor performance of motion detection in the night environment, try turning off "Night Detection".

Setup Guide

The following procedures will help you set up your Meco Eleverde outdoor security camera:

Before installation, give the camera a full charge.
Create an account and download the Meco app on your smartphone.
To enter pairing mode, turn on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on your phone and then press and hold the power button on the camera.
To link the camera to your Wi-Fi network, follow the directions on the app.
Make sure the placement is appropriate and has a good view before installing the camera with the mounting kit.
To guarantee optimum performance, check the motion detection and adjust the camera angle.

Battery Management

Charging the camera

It is recommended to use a 5V/2A power adapter for charging. Please use the USB cable in the package to charge this camera.

Note: If a 5V/2A power adapter is not available, other sizes of 5V power heads can also be used for charging.

How to judge whether the charging is successful?
The device's charging indicator light is red, which means it is charging. A blue light means that charging is complete. It will take approximately 10 hours or more to fully charge.

What should I do if the charge fails?

Determine whether the power adapter is good, and try another one.
Determine whether the USB charging cable is good, and try another one.
The charging indicator may be defective, please check the charging condition in the phone APP.
Determine whether the charging port of the device is in good contact with the USB charging cable.
The device has a low-temperature charging protection module, please don't charge the device at low temperatures.

Battery life

If the device does not detect a moving object, it will enter sleep mode, reducing the power consumption of the device.
If the device detects a moving object, it quickly wakes up and starts within 1 second, taking screenshots with recorded video.

Warm Tip: When the temperature is below -20°C, the battery may enter self-protection mode, causing the camera to shut down automatically. When the temperature rises, the battery will automatically return to a normal state.

At low temperatures, if you need to charge this camera, please place it indoors for several hours first. In room temperature, the self-protection mode of the battery will automatically be shut off, allowing you to charge this camera safely.

Why is the battery life of my device poor?

Check whether the number of alarms is too frequent. The working time of the device determines the battery life. The more frequent the PIR wake-ups, the faster the battery consumption due to the longer working time. It is recommended to lower the motion detection sensitivity of the device and set the alarm interval and alarm time plan appropriately.
(Note: Outdoor air conditioning units, moving cars, and passing pedestrians will cause frequent alarms. Please adjust the angle of the device to avoid these objects).
In cold weather, the battery capacity will be reduced, affecting the endurance of the device.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

Problem: Camera is not connecting to Wi-Fi.
Solution: Verify your network credentials and try restarting both the camera and your router.
Problem: Motion detection alerts are not working.
Solution: Adjust the motion detection sensitivity settings within the app and ensure the camera has a clear view.
Problem: Video quality is poor.
Solution: Check for any obstructions or low light conditions, and consider adjusting the camera's placement or enabling night vision.
