device that runs on Android or iOS. Please see the in-app
description for device compatibility for the most up-to-date

rules have been set through the Momentum App. Rules
allow your device to activate and monitor the area while
you are not watching the live stream. Set triggers to have

your 1080P IOT CAMERA activate under certain
conditions.

Note: You must have a Momentum Capture Cloud
Storage subscription or a micro-SD card to record videos
and photos.

schedule 9PM-1AM. Must schedule two different times:
9PM-11:59PM; 12AM-1AM)

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 delete the
Rule, or you can turn it off from your mobile device’s
notification settings for the Momentum App.

If you have a cloud plan, you may also view all your
previous alerts by tapping the Activity tile on your

pictures through the Momentum Capture Cloud Storage
subscription plan or with your own micro-SD card inserted

the side of the camera device. (see pg. 4)

Momentum Capture Cloud Storage

After you initially pair a Momentum device to your
Momentum account, you will be provided FREE cloud
recordings that last for 24hrs. The Momentum Capture
cloud storage subscription will allow you to store recorded
pictures and videos taken by your 1080P IOT CAMERA
camera.
If you wish to continue the cloud service after the trial
service has expired, you may purchase and manage your
subscription plans by logging into your Momentum
account at momentumcam.com.

(up to 128GB) instead for back-up storage.
Insert the micro-SD card into 1080P IOT CAMERA

’s
micro-SD slot on the 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

Saving and Deleting Recordings

If you have purchased a cloud subscription and set up a
rule for recordings, footage of those recordings will be
automatically saved onto the cloud for the predetermined
time, depending on which plan the camera has.
If you have inserted your own micro-SD card and set up a
rule for recordings, footage of those recordings will be
saved on the micro-SD card until the storage becomes full
and loops back over to record over your previous
recordings.

However, if you’d like to save your cloud or micro-SD card
recordings to your mobile device’s local storage, you can
do so while you’re viewing the specific recording. Press
the ‘save’ button at the bottom right corner to save a copy
of the footage onto your mobile device’s local storage.

You may also delete the recording permanently off your
cloud storage or micro-SD card swiping left on the
recording on the activity list page.

Device Settings

Under the Menu tab, you will find My Devices. Here you
can change your device’s name, check on the device’s
Cloud subscription status, update the firmware, and adjust
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.

the Menu and go to My Devices. Select the specific
device, then tap Remove Device.
