							RWhen using a smart control scenario to record camera images, there may be a short delay after the
sensor is triggered before recording starts.
Using [Trigger when Home Wi-Fi Connects] to trigger smart control scenarios
You can use your mobile device’s Wi-Fi connection to your wireless router as a trigger to turn on a smart
plug. An example use of this feature would be having a light turn on automatically when you return home.
When the app detects that your mobile device has reconnected to your wireless router (because you
came home), it executes the scenario (turning on the light).
In order to use this feature, select  [Trigger when Home Wi-Fi Connects]  as the trigger when
configuring a smart control scenario.
Note:
R When  [Trigger when Home Wi-Fi Connects]  is selected, the app checks your mobile device’s Wi-Fi
connection periodically so that it can detect when it has connected to your home wireless network
again.
Recording camera images
You can use smart control scenarios to record camera images and save them on the hub’s SD card. For
information about SD cards and how recordings are saved, see  “Information about SD cards”, Page 66.

							Camera features (overview)
You can use indoor and outdoor cameras to monitor and record the sights and sounds of the area where
the cameras are located. Cameras have built-in motion detection features that, when triggered, allow
cameras to record images automatically or send a notification to your mobile device. Additionally, built-in
speakers and microphones allow you to talk to anyone who is near the camera.
Indoor cameras feature a built-in temperature sensor, which allows the camera to alert you when the
ambient temperature is too high or too low, and a sound sensor, which allows the camera to alert you
when sound is detected. You can also select one of the preset “lullaby” melodies and play it through the
camera’s built-in speaker.
You can register 4 cameras to the system.
Viewing the camera list
By opening the camera list, you can view a small preview image of each camera registered to the system.
