2. WiFi connection instructions for KX-A3W & KX-A5W

The current camera only supports 2.4Ghz WiFi on both WiF5 and WiFi6, this helps keep the network connection signal strong and stable.

If you already have the DMSS application, it can also be used to connect WiFI to the Camera as follows:

3. Set up continuous recording on Camera

By default, the camera only records when motion is detected to save space and increase storage time. However, in some cases, you don’t want to miss any moment, you can enable continuous recording for the Camera.

When recording continuously 24/24, on average each day it will consume about 15GB of memory card capacity. Please use high quality genuine memory cards to ensure stable operation during recording.

You can trigger a message alarm to your phone when the Camera detects events such as:
