Setting up your Camius Battery Powered Camera System with Wireless NVR

On the Camius View app, tap on Menu>>Push Notifications>>Setup>>Toggle the switch on.

Try placing the camera with fewer obstacles to the receiver, pointing antennas away from walls.

 If the video is too bright or dark, consider pointing the camera away from light sources; placing the camera behind a window at night will cause a bright spot.

If the camera overlooks a high-traffic area, like sidewalks or roads, try repositioning the view to only include areas of interest. Consider switching from frequent live viewing to push notifications. Set a more precise active Motion area under Setup >> Alarm >> Motion >> Setup, click on the red square and then drag the angles to narrow the active detection area; this also helps reduce false alarms.

Tip: Motion detection preserves battery power; if the camera is in a high-traffic area, consider keeping it continuously plugged into the USB charger.

This will unlock continuous recording mode on the recorder’s HDMI interface under Setup>> Channel >> Wireless camera >> Post Recording, make sure the camera is plugged in and active while turning Continuous mode on; otherwise it will not appear on the post-recording menu.

If your camera is switching to color and black & white too often, this could be due to either a fluctuating light source or that the camera’s view contains a surface, like a wall or ceiling, too close to the lens, leading to reflections into the lens, which could trigger night mode. Consider adjusting the camera viewing angle or relocating it.

 On the NVR, click on the Menu Icon >> Setup>> System >> General >> Output Configuration >> Scale and Offset. Next, click Setup and Scale to adjust the visible screen size, X for horizontal, and Y for vertical; once you see the red frame, right-click to go back and click Apply to save changes.

Check if you are using the latest version of the Camius View app. On the App’s ‘Devices‘ page, make sure your recorder uses the P2P (ID) instead of (IP address; if in doubt, delete it and add it again. Check if your recorder is connected to the internet by checking its connection to the router.

You can add as many NVRs and their cameras as needed in multiple locations and monitor all of them remotely using the Camius View App for iOS and Android or the VMS desktop software for Windows and Mac. Each wireless NVR adds up to 8 cameras.

If your camera came with the kit, it is pre-paired and should connect right away. If it is an add-on camera, you need to press the pairing button on the camera and pair it through the NVR. See the instructions above.

On the NVR’s monitor, go to Menu → Setup → Record → Record Schedule. From here, you can choose between continuous (normal) recording or motion-based recording. Drag across the schedule grid to set the hours you want recorded, then click Copy to apply the same schedule to other cameras. Don’t forget to click Apply to save the settings.

. In the Record Schedule menu, select Motion (yellow blocks) instead of Normal (green blocks). This will save storage and extend recording time.

Recording time depends on your hard drive size, number of cameras, and recording mode (continuous vs. motion). For example, using motion-based recording can extend storage capacity significantly compared to continuous recording. 

Camius offers the highest 3TB and 4TB storage pre-installed with each wireless NVR. You can also upgrade to 8TB or 10TB for longer recording. [Click here to see how to install a higher capacity hard drive.]
