Kami Doorbell Camera

The Kami Doorbell Camera is designed to capture video of motion-triggered events. It does not record everything 24/7, since this would require more storage than a cloud-based camera can handle. Instead, the camera begins recording once it registers motion, and records for a set period of time (typically 6-60 seconds) after the motion event occurs. Additional storage option: This camera does include 7 days of free cloud storage, which you can download to your device. What is the automatic recording duration? The default recording duration is set to 6 seconds, but it can be adjusted to up to 60 seconds. You can adjust this via your camera’s settings in the Cove app. Just pull up the live feed, click on the gear icon, click on “Recording Duration” and toggle the slider to the desired length. Please note: the longer the duration setting is, the longer the camera takes to render and notify you when it’s triggered. How to receive notifications on your phone/device? In order for you to receive notifications when your camera completes a recording, you will need to have the following notifications enabled: Videos and Photos—In order for your device to receive a notification through the Cove app, you’ll need to enable video and photo notifications for that camera.If you are currently viewing a live feed, you will not receive notifications. User Notifications—Please make sure to have push notifications enabled within the Cove App. Please see this article to set that up. Smart Detection Settings These are the settings that allow the camera to notify you when it detects motion. The parameters can be adjusted based on your preference and the environment. How does it work? The camera uses an infrared sensor (PIR), which is triggered by heat signatures rather than simple motion. Filters and Detection We recommend setting your camera filters based on your individual goals.…

Instructions on mounting your Kami Doorbell Camera with a digital doorbell. Before You Get Started: Note: The Kami Doorbell Camera is not currently compatible with digital doorbell chimes.
