3. Do the Cameras pan or move?
No. The Cameras are fixed position (once mounted).
4. Why isn't wireless working?
Connecting the Ethernet cable will disable the Wireless interface. The
Wireless and Ethernet interfaces cannot be used simultaneously. The
Ethernet interface should be used to configure the Camera. After the

1. What is the difference between Basic and Advanced Camera
Service?
Basic Camera Service is free of charge with the purchase of a
Camera. It allows you to take snapshots or record up to 30 seconds
of video from each Camera in the event of an alarm. Snapshots and
video clips can be viewed in www.lifeshield.com. Advanced Camera
Service adds the ability to view live video, capture larger videos and
snapshots, and set up custom triggers for taking snapshots and
videos. Custom triggers are used to capture events in your home
triggered by sensors or Arming/Disarming.
5. Why won't my Camera recognize my router SSID?
• The SSID is case-sensitive.
• If there is aspace in your SSID, change the SSID so there is no
space and try again.
• Your SSID may not be broadcast. Reference the instructions that
came with your router for more information.
2. How many snapshots and videos can I store?
Several factors determine the size of each snapshot and video clip
such as the size of the image (medium or large) and the length of
the video you capture. For example, Cameras set to 'large' and '30
seconds' will store approximately 2000 snapshots and 200 videos.
Cameras set to 'medium' and '10 seconds' will store approximately
5000 snapshots and 1000 videos.
