Before beginning the installation, carefully unpack your HuskyCam system. Verify that all components listed in the packaging are present. This typically includes the camera unit itself, mounting hardware (screws, anchors, etc.), power adapter, network cable (Ethernet), and any necessary documentation. Check for any visible damage to the components. If anything is missing or damaged, contact your retailer or HuskyCam customer support immediately.

II. Choosing the Ideal Location:

Strategic camera placement is crucial for optimal surveillance. Consider factors like field of view, lighting conditions, and potential obstructions. Ideally, your camera should be positioned to capture a wide area while minimizing blind spots. Ensure adequate lighting, particularly for night vision functionality. Avoid placing the camera in direct sunlight, as this can impact image quality. Consider the angle of view and where you want to monitor.

III. Mounting the Camera:

Begin by carefully marking the location for the mounting bracket on the desired surface. If drilling is necessary, use appropriate size drill bit for your chosen mounting surface (wood, drywall, concrete, etc.). Secure the mounting bracket using the provided hardware. Ensure it's firmly attached and level. Next, carefully attach the HuskyCam unit to the mounting bracket, ensuring a secure connection. Take your time and double-check everything is correctly aligned before fully tightening the screws.

IV. Connecting the Power and Network Cable:

Connect the power adapter to the camera and then plug the other end into a power outlet. Ensure the power adapter is compatible with your local voltage requirements. Next, connect the Ethernet cable to the camera's Ethernet port and the other end to your router. If using a wireless HuskyCam model, follow the instructions in the manual to connect to your Wi-Fi network. This usually involves downloading the HuskyCam app and following the on-screen prompts.

V. Initial Setup and App Configuration:

Download the HuskyCam app (available for iOS and Android) on your smartphone or tablet. Follow the in-app instructions to add your new camera to your account. This usually involves scanning a QR code located on the camera or manually entering the camera's network information. Once connected, configure settings like motion detection sensitivity, recording settings (continuous recording, motion-activated recording, or scheduled recording), and notification preferences.

VI. Testing and Troubleshooting:

After completing the installation, test the camera's functionality through the app. Verify that you have a clear and stable live view. Check the video quality, audio (if applicable), and motion detection sensitivity. If you encounter any issues, consult the troubleshooting section of your HuskyCam manual or contact customer support. Common problems include network connectivity issues, power problems, and incorrect camera settings.

VII. Advanced Settings and Features (Optional):

Many HuskyCam models offer advanced features such as motion detection zones, allowing you to customize the areas triggering alerts. You can also adjust recording schedules to optimize storage space and battery life (for battery-powered models). Explore cloud storage options for off-site backups of your recordings. Familiarize yourself with all the features to maximize the capabilities of your HuskyCam system.

VIII. Regular Maintenance:

Regularly check the camera's functionality and clean the lens to maintain optimal image quality. Keep the surrounding area free from obstructions to ensure a consistent field of view. Update the firmware periodically to benefit from bug fixes and new feature additions.

This guide provides a general overview. Always refer to your specific HuskyCam model's manual for detailed instructions and troubleshooting information. Enjoy the enhanced security and peace of mind provided by your new HuskyCam system!
