Pairing Guide
1. Remove the camera, power transformer, and Ethernet cable from the box.
2. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into a spare port on your router, and the other end into the back of the camera. The Ethernet cable is used to register your camera, add it to the hub, and configure it to communicate with your Wi-Fi router.
3. Insert the power transformer connector into the back of the camera and plug the transformer into an AC outlet.
4. In the Abode app, tap Menu then "Add Device" then "Security Cameras" then "Abode Cam" and follow the setup steps. Once completed, you can stream live video from the app.
Mounting Guide
The camera stand is already built into the device. To mount the Abode Cam:
1. Using the two breakaway mounting holes on the mounting base as templates, drill holes in the surface.
2. Insert wall plugs if fixing into plaster or brick.
3. Screw the mounting base into the wall plugs.
4. Attach the camera stand onto the mounting base. Make sure the three mounting hooks match the three latches on the mounting base.
To adjust the angle: tilt back and forth, rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, or rotate the stand base attached to the mounting base.
Factory Reset
1. Unplug the power cord from the streaming camera.
2. Hold the WPS button (lower button) while plugging the power cable back into the camera. Continue to hold for 45 to 60 seconds. When you see all three lights flash on and then off, the Abode Cam has been reset.
3. Once reset, delete the camera from the Abode app and add it back to the system.
