Setting up the Eyes Indoor Camera II
Position the camera on a horizontal and even surface. Ideally, the camera should be aligned with the primary area it is intended to monitor. If possible, do not allow the viewing direction of the camera to cover a window. Always lay the cables of connected devices in such a way that they cannot pose a hazard to people or pets. The standards and directives applicable in your country must be observed during planning, set-up, operation, and maintenance.
Checking for Wi-Fi availability
The camera requires a stable and sufficiently strong Wi-Fi connection. Select the location where you wish to set up your indoor camera and use your mobile device to check the strength of your home network’s Wi-Fi signal. The table will tell you whether the signal strength is sufficient.
Start-up
Ensure that you have a Wi-Fi router with an internet connection and that you have your Wi-Fi password handy. To start up the Eyes Indoor Camera II, your mobile device must be connected to your home router’s Wi-Fi network which you would also like to use for your camera. If your router supports both frequency bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), use your smartphone to select 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Please do not minimize or close the app during start-up.
Download the “Bosch Smart Camera” app from your app store. This is required for the entire installation and configuration process. Connect the indoor camera to the power supply: Connect the indoor camera to the socket using the power cable and the power supply unit. Once the indoor camera is connected to the power supply, it initializes for a few seconds and then flashes green. Start the app and log in, or register if you do not have a Bosch account yet.
In the Bosch Smart Camera app, select “Add camera” and follow the instructions in the app. The indoor camera is controlled via the Bosch Smart Camera app. You can find details about the available functions in the FAQs at: www.bosch-smarthome.com/rom/ eyes-indoor.
