The Outdoor Smart Camera can be placed on a shelf indoors, or mounted indoors or outdoors with the included Magnet Mount. The camera may be powered by a 5V USB port or the included AC wall adapter. You will need: the Magnet Mount, a packet with the screw and metal plate, a drill, and a Phillips head screwdriver.

Before installing, plan an ideal cable path. Mount the camera out of direct sunlight and under a shelter for the best image quality. Leave enough length to install and adjust the camera angle.
​

Once your location is set, use the included screw to mount the wall plate to a solid surface. Use a 3/32" (2.5 mm) drill bit to drill a pilot hole for the screw.

Rotate and lock the Magnet Mount to the installed wall plate. Ensure the mount is secure. Attach the back of the camera to the Magnet Mount and adjust to the desired angle.

The Outdoor Smart Camera is compatible with most 16-24V AC-powered electronic and mechanical doorbell chimes operating on a two-wire system. The camera is not compatible with wireless doorbells or multi-chime setups. You will need: the Doorbell Mount, a packet of screws with anchors, a security screw with key, a drill, and a Phillips head screwdriver.

Locate your circuit breaker and turn off main power to your doorbell.

Unscrew the doorbell and unhook the wires from the back by loosening the screws that hold them. Make sure the wires do not retract back into the wall; use tape to hold them in place.
​

Loosen the two screws on the back of the OSC Doorbell Mount. Connect the 16-24V AC doorbell wires to the inputs on the back of the mount. Tighten the screws to secure the wires.

Mark where you want to drill your holes and use a 3/32" (2.5 mm) drill bit to drill pilot holes for the screws. Once the mount is fastened to the wall, attach the camera.

Secure the camera to the Doorbell Mount by locking it with the provided security screw and key. Keep the key somewhere safe so you can unlock your camera whenever required.
​

Locate your doorbell's internal chime. Remove the cover. Loosen the "front" and "trans" terminal screws inside ("rear" for back-door installations).

Attach the provided Chime Connector to the loosened terminal screws. Stick the connector to the side of the unit with the provided tape. Tighten the terminal screws and replace the cover.

Turn on main power to your doorbell. After a few moments, the LED ring will flash red to indicate your camera is back on.

1. Disconnect the camera from power.

2. Place the rounded part of the Magnet Mount on the reset logo on the bottom of the camera.

3. With the Power Cable Mount installed, reconnect the camera to a power source.

4. The camera will power up and the LED ring will flash red several times before turning a steady red. This may take up to 2 minutes.

5. Remove the camera from power for 30 seconds before reconnecting. Your camera has now been factory reset.

Cameras can be set to be inactive in Standby mode (for privacy) and to reduce notifications and clip recordings at certain times using CUE Automations.

1. Ensure cameras are set to the desired motion detection setting (All Motion, or Smart Detect).

2. Create a new CUE Automation.

3. Set Trigger to [System Mode] and select Home, Away, or both. A Geo Location Trigger can also be used (for example: when all phones leave the geo fence). This sets when the cameras will be active.

4. Set Action to Streaming Cameras [select cameras] to turn on. This sets which cameras will be turned on.

1. Create a new CUE Automation.
