5.1. Infringing third-party rights / Rights to own images
Rights to own images or pictures are a subset of the general law on personality. They stipulate that all
people have the fundamental right to determine whether and in what context images of them are
published.
Private surveillance cameras (e.g. IP cameras) may not be used to monitor public areas or private areas
belonging to others. This also applies to areas used on a communal basis (e.g. owner or tenant
collective). This means, for example, entrance areas or paths used by multiple people.
What can I monitor with my IP camera?
Video surveillance using an IP camera is permitted for monitoring your own properties.
One restriction: All persons who are or could be affected by the video surveillance must be informed that
surveillance is taking place. In order to comply with this obligation, it is sufficient to affix signs or stickers in
the area monitored. However, these notices must be visible prior to entering the monitored area. If, for
example, you are monitoring your own property with an IP camera, there should be a notice at all
entrances to the property.
When setting up an IP camera, please note the following:
Copyright:
Essentially, everyone has the right to their own image. According to the laws on copyright, images can
only be published without the consent of the people of them if they are incidental next to a landmark or
English - 7
WAL 14 A1
similar location. The answer to the question as to whether a person is incidental depends on the
circumstances of the individual case. In order to be safe from a legal perspective, warning signs should be
placed in all areas where recordings with identifiable persons are possible.
Protecting privacy
The images shown must not infringe the privacy of others. Never point your camera at the garden or front
door of your neighbour’s home, even if these places are visible from your own home or from public
places. This does not entitle you to publish these views. In case of doubt, you will need to restrict the
viewing area of the IP camera with a screen.
Personal determinability
Personal determinability is where it can be determined that a specific person was in a specific place at a
specific time. Identification can also be based on a personal identifier such as a vehicle number plate.
Personal determinability must be avoided at all times.
The legal regulations may be different in different countries. Please note the laws in the country of use.

the movement sensor (7) (e.g. pavements, roads).
14 - English
WAL 14 A1
8. Getting started
For reasons of IT security, please note the following:
Never commission multiple WiFi cameras at the same time and install them in the control app!
Each WiFi camera must be commissioned separately and added to the control app. Only ever
connect one camera per scan. Start a separate scan for each new camera.
8.1. Inserting / removing the memory card
Please note that all the functions of the WiFi camera can only be guaranteed if a Micro SD card
meeting the following specifications is inserted:
Maximum capacity: 128GB, Class 10
The recordings from the camera (3) are saved to a Micro SD card (not included).
The SD card slot is deliberately concealed and not easily accessible in the camera housing. This makes it
difficult for unauthorised persons to remove the SD card. Proceed as follows to insert or replace the SD
card:
Tilt the camera holder (2) by around 70° until it stops.
Remove the screw covering the SD card slot using the
special screwdriver provided.
Remove the cover from the SD card slot.
The SD card slot is directly beneath the cover, still
concealed and protected by a rubber seal. Lift up the
rubber seal to reveal the SD card slot.
Now you can insert or remove the Micro SD card.
When you insert the SD card, make sure the contacts
are facing forwards, using tweezers may help. The SD
card needs to be pushed against the spring until it
locks into the camera.
To remove the SD card, unlock it by pushing against
this spring. Then remove the unlocked SD card from
the SD card slot using tweezers if necessary.
Finally, replace the rubber seal and the cover of the
SD card slot.

8.3. Access data (camera name / password)
To set up the outdoor camera, you need to assign a camera name (to allow unique identification in the
network), a username and a password.
For reasons of IT security, the username and password are transmitted encrypted for communication with
the WiFi outdoor camera.
8.3.1. Camera name
Ideally, you should select a camera name which describes the area monitored.
Example camera names: Rear entrance or Garage door
8.3.2. Username
The username must have at least 8 to 10 characters. These should consist of upper and lower case letters
with one optional special character and one or more numbers.
8.3.3. Password
A secure password helps protect your personal data. Take a little time to develop a secure
password that you should also be able to remember well. Avoid personal data such as your
date of birth or the names of your children or pets. Or sequences of numbers or letters which
are easy to remember but also easy to guess. Also, avoid using the same password more than
once, as this could jeopardise multiple applications if the password is discovered.
A secure password should consist of at least 10 to 12 characters. It should include upper and lower case
letters, numbers and special characters.
Example password: 32Pq!nK65?56
For the outdoor camera, the password must be at lest 10 characters long or an error message is
displayed.
8.3.4. Applying the app settings
For operational safety, we recommend you to close and re-launch the app after you have made any
changes to the app settings.
English - 19
WAL 14 A1
8.4. Restoring factory settings
The RESET button on the outdoor camera is deliberately concealed to prevent misuse by unauthorised
persons.
If you have forgotten your password or you wish to restore the factory settings on the outdoor camera for
another reason, proceed as follows:
The screw in the centre of the cover of the RESET
button (4) is covered by a rubber bung. Remove this
with a sharp object such as a small screwdriver.
Now undo the screw in the cover (4) using the special
screwdriver and lift the cover (4) off.
The RESET button can be found in the opening
exposed above the screw thread.
To press the RESET button, push the tip of the special
screwdriver into the opening until you feel it switch.
Press and hold the button down for approx. 10
seconds.
The power LED (5) flashes quickly in red.
8.5. LED displays
