CANYON SMART

- To play the recording from the SD card in the camera on your smartphone, click the *Play* icon (Fig. 5.2) and select the desired file from the list. If there are no files in the list, open your MicroSD card on the computer.

- You need to select a room where you want to place the sensor. Take one of the sensors: the motion sensor (Fig. 1.2) or the door sensor (Fig. 1.3).

* Reminder: the door sensor consists of two elements - receiver (Fig. 1.3) and receiver sensor (Fig. 1.4).

* Important: before starting the connection, you must install the batteries. Motion sensor: 3xAAA batteries, and turn it on. Receiver: A23 12V battery.

Now you are ready to start pairing the sensor.

- Select the room in which the sensor will be installed and select the sequence number where the sensor will be programmed (Fig. 7.11).

* Example: room - hall, position No 1.

- After selecting a position, the application will prompt you to confirm your choice. If you selected the correct room, click OK. (Fig. 7.12)

• After your confirmation, the sensor detection process will begin (Fig. 7.13).

* In order for the program to detect the sensor, you need to turn on the sensors and simulate their triggering.

* In order to trigger the motion sensor (Fig. 1.2), it is necessary to make some movements in front of it. After actuation the red LED will light up.

* In order to trigger the door sensor (Fig. 1.3) (Fig. 1.4), it is necessary to place the receiver and the receiver sensor side by side, and separate both parts. After actuation the red LED will light up.

* Important: the receiver sensor shall be located on the side of LEDs (Fig. 10.1).

• After successful connection and detection of the sensor, it is ready for use (Fig. 7.14).

* To disable the sensor it is necessary to tick the number of sensor to be deactivated, after which its color will change to gray (Fig. 7.15).

- To remove the sensor click “-” (minus) (Fig. 7.16) and then confirm the deletion (Fig. 7.17). Successful deletion (Fig. 7.18).

8. Camera installation

- Install the camera on a stable flat surface near the power supply 220V or on a pre-attached mounting bracket at the desired angle.

*If the camera is attached to a wall or ceiling, do not forget to turn off the function *Inverted image* (item 7.2).

* Try to choose a place where the camera will not interfere with anything, and will also be protected from moisture.

9. Motion sensor installation (Fig. 1.2), for CNSS-KA1W model only

• Install it only where it can monitor the zone necessary for triggering.
- There should be no interference between the sensor and the operating zone at a distance of 1 meter from the sensor.

* For the correct operation of two or more sensors in the same room, install them so that the coverage area of the sensors does not overlap, otherwise false alarms may occur. In addition, do not install your sensor against reflective surfaces (windows, mirrors, glass doors).

* Please note that it is not necessary to install the sensor at the maximum height, since for the maximum detection range it will be necessary to extend the sensor antenna. Avoid moisture entering the sensor.

CANYON SMART

10. Door sensor installation (Fig. 1.3) (Fig. 1.4), for CNSS-KA1W model only

- The door sensor is installed on the top or bottom of the door leaf with the right side for you. For the maximum range, do not forget to extend the antenna.

* Before installing you must install the battery in the receiver. (A23)

* Door sensor mounting: note that the receiver and receiver sensor shall be mounted at the same height and plane; the distance between them should not exceed 2 cm.

* It is important to know that the receiver sensor shall be installed on the LEDs side.

* Example of installation (Fig. 10.1).

* Example of sensor operation (Fig. 10.2).
