Orion SMART PAN - User Manual

The ORION GRID CONNECT Smart Pan & Tilt Security Camera is a wireless device designed for monitoring homes, apartments, offices, garages, and sheds. It offers a comprehensive security solution by automatically detecting and tracking motion, allowing users to see and record everything that happens using their smartphone.

Function Description:

The camera captures both day and night images thanks to its infrared LEDs. It records in 1080p HD with a 100° field of view. The pan and tilt functionality allows for a 355° horizontal pan and a 65° vertical tilt, providing extensive coverage of the monitored area. The device includes a speaker and microphone for two-way audio communication. Video recordings can be stored on a micro SD memory card, with a 16GB Class 10 card included, and support for up to 128GB cards.

The camera is operated through the Grid Connect mobile app, available for both iPhone and Android devices. This app allows for remote monitoring from anywhere with an internet connection.
