Wi-Fi Requirements
Niro 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 GDC.
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 or 5GHz
band for the device setup.
Mobile Device Requirements
The Momentum app requires a smart phone or tablet
device that runs on Android or iOS. Please see the in-app
description for device compatibility for the most up-to-date
info.
Garage Door Opener Requirements
Niro is compatible with most garage door openers
manufactured after 1993. However, it is not compatible
with any openers utilizing Security+ 2.0 or MyQ®
technology. Openers with Security+ 2.0 will usually have a
yellow ‘learn’ button on it.

Niro Installation
Before installing Niro to your garage door opener, make
sure you prepare the following:
A screwdriver (if needed)
A stepladder
An open outlet near your setup location
Reliable Wi-Fi network
A compatible mobile device
All items included in the box
Compatible garage door opener
WARNING
Mounting and connecting Niro may require another
person’s help as you will most likely need to use a
stepladder to setup the device. Please be safe and
cautious during installation to avoid injury.
13
Step 1: Mount Niro
Niro should be set up properly so that it’s hanging from
the bottom of your garage door opener unit.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to first clean the area you’ll be
mounting the camera, and be sure to dry off the area
before applying the adhesive sticker.
Method 1: Sticker Only
Method 2: M
etal
Plate with
Sticker
14
Step 2: Connect Wires to the Garage Opener
Unplug your garage opener. This is to prevent your
garage door from involuntarily opening/closing during
the next few steps.
Locate your garage wall remote console. You should
see some wires that come out of it that lead all the
way to terminals on the back of your garage opener.
Note: It is very important that you choose the correct
wires in the garage opener’s terminals. If you’re unsure,
refer to your garage opener’s owner’s manual for
clarification.
15
Most garage opener connection ports will look like the
images below.
For this type of terminal, use a flat head screwdriver or
a similar tool to press the tab to release the wires from
the terminals as shown above.
For a screw type terminal, use a screwdriver to loosen
the screws.

Connect the provided wires from Niro’s box into the
same wire terminals as your wall remote console.
The process may vary between different garage
opener models.
Notes:
Twisting the wires together for each terminal will help
for a better connection, however make sure the wall
console wires go back into their original terminals.
The provided wires for Niro are neutral, so it doesn’t
matter which wire goes into which terminal.

Step 3: Connect Wires to Niro
Connect the other end of the provided wires to the
first two terminals on the back of Niro.
Use a flat head screwdriver to press down the tabs to
release the terminals.
Note: Niro is capable of being connected to two garage
door openers. If you have a second garage door opener
you want to connect to Niro, follow the same process as
the first and connect the wires to the 3rd and 4th terminals
on the back of the Niro device.

Rule or you can turn it off from your mobile device’s
notification settings for the Momentum App.
You may also view all of your previous alerts by tapping

the Momentum Capture Cloud Storage subscription plan
or with your own micro-SD card inserted into the device.

side of the camera. The camera will automatically record
events and camera photos you take directly into the
micro-SD card as back-up storage.
Once the memory capacity has been reached on the card,
the new recording will loop over and begin to overwrite the
earliest saved recordings.
To access the back-up micro-SD card recordings, go to
the camera’s settings and select “View Camera Backup”.

rule for recordings, footage of those recordings will be
automatically saved onto the cloud for the predetermined
time, depending on which plan you have purchased.

rule for recordings, footage of those recordings will be
saved on the micro-SD card until the storage becomes full

recordings to your mobile device’s local storage, you can
do so while you’re viewing the specific recording. Press

recording on the activity list page and pressing the
“Delete” button.
