The VAVA Cam Pro is a comprehensive smart home security system designed to provide reliable surveillance and peace of mind. It consists of a Base Station, a Camera, and various mounting accessories, all working together to offer a flexible and user-friendly monitoring solution.

Function Description:

The VAVA Cam Pro system primarily functions as a wireless home security camera setup. The Camera captures video footage, detects motion, and provides live streaming capabilities, while the Base Station acts as the central hub, managing camera connections, storing recordings, and connecting to the internet. This integrated system allows users to monitor their property remotely, receive alerts, and review recorded events.

Usage Features:

The system offers a wide array of features to enhance its usability and effectiveness:

Camera Operation:

Power On/Off: The camera can be turned on with a single press of the Sync Button and turned off by pressing and holding the Sync Button for approximately 10 seconds.
Pairing Mode: To pair the camera with the Base Station, press and hold the Sync Button for 5 seconds until the LED indicator flashes blue slowly. This initiates the pairing process, allowing the camera to connect to the central hub.
Reboot: The camera can be rebooted by pressing the Reset Button once, which restarts the device without losing any stored data.
Charging: The camera is equipped with a Micro USB Charging Port and should be fully charged before initial use to ensure optimal battery life. The LED indicator will show a solid red light during charging and will remain solid red when fully charged.
LED Indicators: The camera's LED indicator provides visual cues for its status:

APP Integration and Setup:

VAVA Home App: The system is controlled via the "VAVA Home" app, available on both iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play).
Account Registration: Users need to register an account within the app using their email address and then log in.
Adding Base Station: The app guides users through adding the Base Station, ensuring all steps are completed for successful integration. A crucial note is that a Base Station can only be bound to one account; unbinding from an old account is necessary to bind to a new one.

Mounting Options:

The VAVA Cam Pro offers versatile mounting options to suit different environments:

Magnetic Wall Mount: Allows for easy attachment to walls using mounting screws and anchors.
Stand Mount: Provides a stable base for placing the camera on flat surfaces.
Desktop Mount: A compact mount for desktop placement.
Mounting Height and Location: For optimal PIR motion sensor detection, the camera should be mounted 7-10ft (2-3m) above the ground. It's important to avoid direct sunlight and ensure the camera is within the Home Base WiFi coverage. The PIR motion sensor has a detection range beyond 1m directly below the camera.

Maintenance Features:

Environmental Considerations: The camera is waterproof, but the Base Station and adapters are for indoor use only. The device should not be used in extreme temperatures, strong electromagnetic interference, or near corrosive substances.
Internet Connection Stability: A functional and fast internet connection is crucial for live data feed, highlighting the importance of network stability for optimal performance.
Warranty Information: The warranty does not cover defects or damages caused by misuse, unauthorized dismantling, or natural hazards, emphasizing the importance of proper handling and usage.
Battery Life Management: The battery life varies based on trigger frequency and video resolution settings, allowing users to adjust settings to optimize battery performance.
