The camera includes AI-powered person, motion, and cry detection that reduces unnecessary alerts by focusing on relevant events. According to the manufacturer, the IP65 weatherproof rating protects against heavy rain and dust for continuous 24/7 operation, and the unit connects via 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi.

Usage Recommendations
Mount the camera where the 114° coverage provides a clear line of sight and avoid placing it behind glass to prevent reflections. For reliable connections, pair the device with a stable 2.4 GHz network and position the router to minimize obstructions. When using the color night vision mode, be aware that the spotlight will illuminate the scene and may attract attention, while IR mode keeps the image in black and white for more discreet monitoring.
