The ZUMIMALL F5 Battery Powered Camera is a wireless, Wi-Fi-enabled outdoor security camera designed to provide smart security for your home. This quick start guide outlines the steps for setup, installation, and operation, ensuring you can get smarter about your security.

Function Description

The ZUMIMALL F5 camera is a battery-powered device, offering flexibility in placement without the need for constant wired power. It features a camera lens, PIR sensor for motion detection, LED indicator, IR lamp for night vision, microphone, speaker for two-way audio, SD card slot for local storage, USB port for charging, and a power button. The camera is designed to detect motion and record events, providing alarm notifications to your smartphone. It supports both Micro SD card storage and a 7-day free cloud service for video clips. The device operates on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks, making it compatible with most home routers.

Usage Features

Getting Started:

To begin, download and install the ZUMIMALL App from Google Play™ or App Store™ on your smartphone. Ensure the app has permissions to access mobile cellular data, wireless LAN, and receive push notifications for alarms. New users will need to register an account with their email address.

Adding the Camera to the App:

Before connecting, insert a Micro SD card for video storage or utilize the cloud service. Place the camera close to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi router (recommended within 10-15ft) during the connection process. In the app, tap 'Add Device', select 'Battery Camera', and then turn on the camera by holding the power button. Reset the device by holding the reset button for 4-5 seconds until the red indicator light flashes. Input your Wi-Fi password, and then scan the QR code displayed on your phone with the camera lens from a distance of 5-8 inches. A tone will confirm a successful scan, and the app will indicate when installation is complete.

Camera Installation:

For physical installation, first fix the supplied bracket to your desired location using screws. Then, fasten the camera onto the metal mount and adjust the viewing angle.

Important Notes for Optimal Performance:

To minimize false alarms, avoid installing the camera facing strong lights, mirrors, windows, or swimming pools. Do not place the camera too close to areas with busy traffic. The recommended distance between the camera and motion objects is within 32ft. Keep the camera away from outlets, air conditioner vents, humidifier outlets, heat transfer vents of projectors, and other wireless devices (at least 1 meter away) to prevent interference.

Monitoring Area:

It is not recommended to install the camera vertically towards moving objects, as this may hinder motion detection or cause delays. For best results, ensure the angle between the PIR sensor and detected objects is more than 10 degrees. The motion sensor is more sensitive to side-to-side movement across its field of view compared to movement directly toward or away from the camera.

Device Menu and Controls:

The app's device menu offers various functions:

Live View: View real-time footage, switch between HD/SD quality, and check battery status.
Two-Way Audio: Activate the audio option, press and hold the intercom button to speak, and release to listen.
Recording and Playback: Access 'Alarm Messages' on the 'MESSAGES' page to view recorded events. Playback or delete records. Screenshots and manually recorded videos are saved in 'Pictures & Videos' and can be saved to your phone album or shared.
PIR Body Detection: Adjust the 'Motion Detection' sensitivity (LOW: 13-16ft, MID: 16-23ft, HIGH: 23-42ft). Higher sensitivity increases detection distance but drains battery faster.
Alarm Notifications: The camera is event-recording, triggering only when motion is detected. It sends alarm notifications with sounds from the app and automatically stores pics/videos in the Micro SD card or cloud.
Power Saving Settings:
- Alarm Interval & Shooting Interval: Prevent repeated alarms for the same event by setting an interval (e.g., 5 minutes). If triggered at 08:00 with a 5-minute interval, you won't receive new pushes for 5 minutes, even if motion continues. This feature is off by default.
- Maximum Shooting Time & Recording Time: Choose the recording length (e.g., 20 seconds) for alarm videos viewed in cloud playback history. Shorter times reduce power consumption.
- Alarm Plan: Set a weekly/daily alarm schedule for specific working hours. The camera will only trigger and record during these periods. Up to 4 time periods can be set.

Battery Management:

The camera has a high-capacity battery designed for 2-3 months of use, assuming 15 wake-ups and 10 minutes of video playback daily. Battery durability depends on wake-up frequency; higher frequency drains the battery faster. Lowering motion detection sensitivity or turning it off occasionally is recommended. The app will send charging reminders when power is below 20%. Charge the camera for 5-8 hours with a DC 5V 2A charger until fully charged.

Multi-Device and Multi-User Management:

Multi-Camera Management: Add more cameras to your app by clicking the '+' button on the 'Devices' page.
Multi-User Sharing: While one app account cannot log in on multiple devices simultaneously, and one camera cannot connect to multiple devices, a camera can be shared between users. User A (owner) can share the camera with User B. User B downloads the ZUMIMALL App, creates an account, and User A then uses the 'Device Share' option to scan User B's QR code or input their account ID. User B accepts the share and refreshes their device page.
