What should the audio sensitivity be set at, especially for successful smoke alarm
detection?
If your camera has been installed within a reasonable distance (approx. 32.8 feet or 10
meters) of the detector, you can keep it at normal sensitivity level. After you place the
camera in the desired, permanent location, you should test the intelligent sound detection
feature with your detector to ensure normal operation and that the alert is being sent to
the app.
How do I conduct a test trial of smoke alarm?
To use the intelligent sound detection feature, you must first test your camera with your
detector. To test the smoke alarm detection functionality, place the camera in the location
where you intend to keep it and then press Test button on your smoke/ CO detector and
hold for at least 5 seconds or hold until 3 cycles of alarm sounds are heard. Otherwise, the
C2 will not detect the alarm sound. It is especially important to do this to avoid any false
alerts from other similar sounding devices in your house (like microwaves, etc.)
