6 Wif-Fi Requirements Your Momentum Camera requires a 2.4GHz or 5GHz router (802.11bg/n) for Wi-Fi connectivity. This is a standard home Wi-Fi router. You will need your Wi-Fi name and password when pairing your mobile device and camera. Note: If you are using a 2.4GHz + 5 GHz dual band router, create separate SSID names for each band on your Wi-Fi router settings page. This will make it easier for you to select the 2.4GHz band for camera setup. Mobile Device Requirements The Momentum app requires a smart phone or tablet device that runs on Android 5.0+ (Lollipop) for Android devices or iOS 8.0+ for Apple devices.
7 Download the Momentum App Download and install the Momentum Camera app on your mobile device. Search for Momentum on the Google Play Store for Android devices, or on the Apple App Store for iOS devices. Make sure the app logo you download matches the one shown below.
8 Create an Account If you don’t already have a Momentum account, you will need to create one. To create a new account, follow these steps: 1) Tap on the Momentum icon to launch the Momentum App. 2) For first time account setup, select Create Account.
9 3) Enter a valid email address and a password, then select Sign up. You will then be sent an email with a verification link. 4) Check your email and click on the Verification Link. Log in to your newly created account through the app.
10 Setup To begin using your Momentum device you will first need to pair it to your Momentum account and then connect it to your Wi-Fi network. Pairing 1) IMPORTANT: Make sure your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the one you will be connecting the camera to. (This is required just for the pairing process; feel free to disconnect your mobile device from the Wi-Fi network after pairing is complete if you wish to do so.) 2) From the Momentum app, select Pair device.
11 3) Select the Momentum Camera device. 4) From here you have two pairing options to choose from: scanning the QR code or manually entering the serial number. (Both are items are found on the back of the camera.)
12 Scanning the QR Code (recommended): a. Allow the Momentum app to access the camera on your phone when prompted. (This is necessary if you want to scan the QR code to pair your device.) b. To pair, locate the QR code on your device and use the app to scan the code. Make sure the QR code fits inside the box.
13 Entering Serial ID A second option is entering the serial ID number located next to the QR code manually. 5) When your mobile device is paired with your Momentum device, enter the requested Wi-Fi information to connect your Momentum device to your Wi-Fi Network. 6) Name your camera and tap Finish. You may also choose a name from the preset list provided at the bottom of the screen. Your camera has now been added to your Momentum App home screen.
14 Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network During the pairing process, you will need to connect the camera to a Wi-Fi network that is within range. Your camera will automatically begin scanning for all Wi-Fi networks within its range. Select the network you wish to connect to once the scanning is complete. Enter a password if necessary. Notes:  Be sure to only connect to a network that you trust.  The typical home router will have at least a 2.4GHz frequency band, but many will have dual bands of 2.4 / 5 GHz. If your camera will be set in the same or next room as your router, we recommend to connect on the 5GHz band frequency if available as this will give you a faster connection for streaming. If your camera is more than a few rooms away, we recommend connecting with the 2.4GHz band as it has a better signal strength at longer ranges.
15 Pairing additional Momentum Devices To pair additional Momentum devices, select Pair in the Devices section of the app menu and repeat steps 2 – 6 that were used in pairing your initial Momentum device. Pairing additional Non-Momentum Devices You can use your Momentum app to control non-Momentum devices like the Nest™ Learning Thermostat. To pair non-Momentum devices select Pair in the Devices section of the app menu and select the non-Momentum device you wish to pair. Simply follow the in-app instructions for pairing that device with your Momentum app.
16 Storage Options Your Momentum Wi-Fi camera can save your recorded videos or pictures through the Momentum Capture Cloud Storage subscription plan or with your own micro-SD card inserted into the camera. Momentum Capture Cloud Storage After you pair a Momentum device to your Momentum account, you will be given the opportunity to sign up for Momentum Capture cloud storage subscription that will allow you to store recorded pictures and videos taken by your camera. If you wish to purchase a subscription plan, select one of the provided options that meets your needs and complete the transaction using your credit card.
17 If you don’t subscribe to a Momentum Capture plan after you first pair your device, you always have the option to do it later. During your free trial period, you can sign up by selecting the free trial expiration banner on the camera tile in your dashboard. After your free trial expires, you can select the camera you want to keep the subscription plan for from the Devices section of the main app menu. You may also update your plan at any time through the Device Settings menu.
18 Micro-SD Card Storage If you’d prefer not to use a cloud based storage subscription plan, you can opt to use your own micro-SD card (up to 128GB) instead. Insert the micro-SD card into the camera’s micro-SD slot on the side of the camera. The app will automatically record events and camera photos you take directly into the micro-SD card. Once the memory capacity has been reached on the card, the new recording will loop over and begin to overwrite the earliest saved recordings. Micro-SD Card Slot

24 Setting up Rules Your Momentum camera will record video when rules have been set through the Momentum App. Rules allow your camera to activate and monitor your home or space while you are not watching the live stream. Set triggers to have your camera activate under certain conditions.
25 Triggers You can set triggers for the camera to have it start automatically recording an Event. A trigger can be Motion Detection and/or Sound Detection. For example: To record videos of people who come through your front door, place your camera to be pointed at the front door and set your trigger to record when Motion is detected. If you want to capture a video event of a glass break in, set your trigger to record when Sound is detected. Adding a New Rule Add the days of the week and times of day you want this rule to be set in place. The trigger you have chosen will then set off an action of your choosing, such as Take video clip with the camera you have selected. You may also name the rule by tapping the pen tool icon. Mobile Alerts
26 Once you have created a Rule set to your chosen parameters, you will receive a notification alert to your mobile device if an event is triggered. If you’d like to stop receiving alerts, you must turn it off from your mobile device’s notification settings for the Momentum App, or turn off the Rules or Triggers directly from the Momentum App. You may also view all of your previous alerts by tapping the Activity tile on your Dashboard. Viewing Recorded Photos and Videos
27 On the Home screen, tap the Activity tile to view recorded videos, captured photos, or alerts for a specific day. You can also access the activity list from the live camera view. When you select a video in your activity list, it will begin playing back automatically. To rewind or fast forward, tap the video to reveal the video playback controls. Sharing Recorded Photos and Videos
28 The Momentum App allows you to share recorded videos and photos with your friends and family. You can access the sharing option when viewing a selected video or photo from your saved storage. Device Settings
29 Under the Menu tab, you will find Device Settings. Here you can change your device’s name, check on the device’s Cloud subscription status, update the firmware, and make adjustments to the camera’s image-quality, motion detection and sound detection levels. Use the slide bar to adjust the image-quality, motion detector and sound detector to your liking.

31 If your camera is having connection issues, most of the time a camera reset will fix the issue. To reset your Momentum Camera, hold the Reset button on the back of the camera for 5 seconds. During the reset sequence, the LED indicator light on the front of the camera will first display a solid red, then blinking red and blue. The camera will then be ready to pair again. While the Wi-Fi is being connected, the camera will show a blinked blue light. A solid blue light indicates the camera is fully connected and operational. The entire sequence takes about one minute.
