Camera Introduction
The Cam A1 features a Status Light, Lens, Microphone, Micro SD Card Slot, Reset Button, and Speaker.
How to Set Up
To set up your Litokam camera, please follow these steps:
Download the "Littlelf Smart" APP, and register an account on the APP via email.
Power on the camera, and make sure your mobile phone is already connected to WiFi (only 2.4GHz WiFi is supported).
Open the "Littlelf Smart" APP, click "+" or the "Add Device" button on the home page (Picture 1); then click "Cam A1" (Picture 2), please check and confirm the camera status then click "Next" (Picture 3).
Align the QR code on the phone screen with the camera lens (at a distance of 15–20 cm), and upon hearing "Scan QR code successfully", click "I Heard a Prompt" (refer to Picture 4).
Wait for the network configuration to complete successfully, and then begin using your camera (refer to Picture 5).
The camera only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. If you are unsure about your network, see What's the difference between 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks?
Storage Methods
There are two storage methods available for your convenience:
- Cloud storage — You may opt to subscribe to a cloud storage package, which will enable the camera to automatically save videos. Please follow the necessary steps to activate this option.
- Micro SD card storage — Alternatively you may insert a micro SD card and turn on the Record Button to save event recordings.
Install the Camera
Place the camera at a height of 2–3 meters (7–10 ft) above the ground. This height maximizes the detection range of the PIR detection.
Installation Tips
- Do not face the camera towards any light sources.
- Do not point the camera towards a glass window. Otherwise, it may result in poor image quality because of the window glare caused by infrared LEDs, ambient lights or status lights.
- Please do not position the camera in a shaded area and instead aim it towards a well-lit area, as this may lead to subpar image quality. To ensure optimal image quality, it is advisable to place the camera and the subject being captured in a similar lighting environment.
- Make sure the power port is not directly exposed to water or moisture and not blocked by dirt or other elements.
- The waterproof camera can work properly under conditions like rain and snow. However, it doesn't mean the camera can work underwater.
- Do not install the camera at places where rain and snow can hit the lens directly.
Mount the Camera
Rotate the bracket to separate it from the camera.
Drill holes in accordance with the installation holes on the bracket and install the bracket with screws included in the package.
Screw the camera to the bracket.
Adjust the camera angle to get the best field of view, and secure the camera by turning the bracket clockwise.
Use the drywall anchors included in the package if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you troubleshoot a security camera?
If your camera's red light flashes rapidly during connections, it can usually be connected normally. However, if the light is in another abnormal state, please follow these 5 quick tips for security camera troubleshooting:
- Try using a different cable and plug if the light is not flashing red.
- Update the software and firmware.
- Reset the camera to its factory settings.
- Check whether the router password (Wi-Fi password), but not the app account password, is being entered correctly.
- Ensure that you configure two accounts and switch to the 2.4GHz band during network connection.
How do I record after inserting the Micro SD card?
Please follow these instructions:
- Click the "..." icon located in the top right corner of the live video interface.
- Click on "Recording Settings".
- Turn on "Local Recording". The camera will automatically begin recording video.
- Select "Recording Mode", then "Event Recording". The camera will now automatically record video when motion is detected.
- Select "Recording Mode", then "Non-Stop". The camera will continue to record video.
How can I view motion detection videos instead of screenshots?
If you want to watch motion detection videos, you need to use either a Micro SD card or a cloud service. If you are already using one of these, follow these steps to check for motion detection videos:
- Please open your app and click on Home.
- Select your camera and go to the camera live video page.
- Click on "Message" in the bottom left corner.
- Click on "All".
