Quick Start Guide

1 Mobile Setup
This quick start guide will help you configure your WiFi
camera kit for initial use. Before performing any permanent
installation, we recommend that you complete the mobile
setup in Section 1 to connect your cameras and make sure
that nothing was damaged during shipping.

Before you begin:
Plug in and power on all cameras near your router for
initial setup. Fasten the antennas (if applicable) onto the
cameras.
Make sure that you have a strong WiFi connection at the
location of your cameras.
Make sure you know the SSID (WiFi network name) and
password of the 2.4GHz WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK WiFi
network that you want your cameras to connect to. Your
network cannot be hidden.
Make sure your network has at least 1Mbps upload speed
for each camera when live viewing or 2Mbps upload
speed for each camera when using the cloud service.
Download and install the “Zmodo” app from Google PlayTM
or the App StoreTM (compatibility: iOS 9.0+ or Android TM
4.0+). Launch the app and sign up for a free Zmodo
account. All of your devices will be bound to this account.

2 Mounting Your Cameras
Installation Requirements & Tips:
If you’re installing your cameras outdoors, all wired
connections must be weatherproofed.
Before installing the cameras, carefully plan where and
how they will be positioned, and how you will route the
wiring that connects your cameras to the power
adapters.
Try to avoid WiFi signal interference from concrete,
cement, and metal as much as possible. Do not place
cameras in a location where these materials stand
between your cameras and your WiFi router.
Make sure that your cameras are within range of your
WiFi network, and that your network meets all of the
bandwidth requirements from Section 1.
If you have a lot of obstacles between your camera and
the WiFi router, the transmission range will be greatly
reduced. In order to increase the range, you may
purchase a WiFi range extender to place near the
cameras.

1

Unplug the cameras that have been configured in
Section 1.

2

Line the camera bracket against the wall where you
would like to install the cameras, and mark the
appropriate holes. Drill three holes slightly smaller than
the wall anchors and use a hammer to gently insert the
anchors into the wall. Fasten the three screws through
the holes on the bracket and into the anchors as shown.
Note: Depending on the camera model that you purchased, the camera
bracket may or may not be fastened onto the camera when first removed
from factory packaging.

Fasten the bracket to the camera. You will be able to
adjust the camera position using the adjustable camera
bracket. Position the camera for an optimal viewing
angle, and tighten the bracket.

power outlet. Repeat steps 1-4 for all cameras in your
camera kit.

If you were unable to connect your camera successfully:
Make sure that you are connecting to a 2.4GHz WPAPSK/WPA2-PSK WiFi network, and your network is not
hidden.
Please make sure that you entered the network name
and password correctly. Note: Both are case-sensitive.
During the QR code scan, please make sure that your
phone’s display brightness is high, and avoid glare on
your phone’s display.
Please make sure that your camera is not already bound to
another user account.
Make sure that you have fastened the antenna (if applicable)
onto your camera, and try moving your camera closer to the
router for the initial setup.
(Setting up multiple cameras) If you were able to connect
some, but not all of your cameras:
Power cycle the camera(s) that are not connected to the
WiFi and repeat the setup process.
Note: You can check the status light of the device to see if it has been
successfully connected to the WiFi or not. If the status light is blinking green, it
means that it has not connected to a WiFi network. If it is solid blue, it means
that it is already connected to the WiFi network.
