Your First Day with ICMob Camera

Once the camera is added, these four quick steps make it ready for daily use.

Name your camera

Use a clear name such as “Front Door” or “Shop Counter” so alerts are easy to understand.

Turn on motion alerts

Open Settings, switch on Motion Alert and choose how sensitive detection should be.

Try a recording

Record a short clip, then open Playback to see how saved videos are listed by date.

Invite your family

Share access with the people you trust so they can also view the camera from their phones.

Tips for the Best Experience

A few simple habits that keep your cameras working at their best.

Pick the right spot

Place the camera at eye level or higher, facing doors and main walkways. Avoid pointing directly at bright lights or windows.

Check your Wi-Fi

Keep the camera within good range of your router. A stable 2.4 GHz signal gives the smoothest live video.

Keep it updated

Install firmware and app updates when they appear. They add new features and improve security.

Add a memory card

A memory card lets the camera keep recording even if your internet goes down for a while.

Tune motion alerts

Use detection zones and medium sensitivity to cut down on false alarms from trees or traffic.

Save PTZ presets

On PTZ cameras, save positions for your door, gate and garden to jump between views in one tap.
