It offers live video streaming, video recording, and the ability to take still photos. The camera features two-way audio, enabling users to communicate through the camera's built-in microphone and speaker. Motion detection is a key feature, sending push notifications to the user's phone when activity is detected within its surveillance area. The camera's lens can be remotely tilted and panned, providing 360° coverage. Infrared night vision automatically activates in low-light conditions, ensuring continuous monitoring.

Usage Features:

The camera is designed for ease of use through the "Brookstone Smart" app.

  • Remote Control: Users can remotely control the camera's tilt and pan movements for 360° coverage directly from the app. This is achieved by pressing the "Direction" button on the main camera screen and then dragging a finger across the phone screen or tilting the phone sideways.
  • Live Video: Accessing live video is straightforward; simply tap on the camera device listed under "All devices" in the app. The live feed appears at the top of the screen, and users can switch to full-screen view by tilting their phone or pressing the full-screen button.
  • Video Recording: To record video, users press the "record" button in the app. Pressing it again stops the recording. Recordings are saved to an inserted SD card in the camera. If no SD card is present, recorded videos are saved to the phone's photos and video section. Recorded videos can be viewed by pressing the "playback" button in the app.
  • Taking Photos: Still photos can be captured by pressing the "take a photo" button in the app. These photos are saved to the phone's photos and video section.
  • Two-Way Audio: The "speak" button in the app activates two-way audio. When active (button turns blue), audio spoken into the phone is transmitted through the camera's speaker, and sounds from the camera's environment are heard on the phone.
  • Motion Detection: The camera utilizes infrared sensors for motion detection. When motion is detected, push notifications are sent to the user's phone. Motion detection settings, including sensitivity (low, medium, high) and activation, can be configured within the app's settings menu, accessible via the camera setting button or the "alarm" button on the main camera page.
  • Night Vision: Infrared night vision automatically engages when the surrounding area becomes too dark and deactivates when sufficient light returns.
  • Hub Controls: The live video feed includes controls for volume (mute/unmute) and video quality (standard/high definition). The camera's signal strength is also displayed in the top right corner of the app.
  • Device Sharing: The camera can be shared with other Brookstone Smart account users. This involves accessing the camera options, selecting "Share Device," and entering the email of the recipient. The recipient will receive a notification to accept access, allowing them to view the camera feed through their own app.
