1. Please make sure that the SwitchBot App is the latest version.

2. We will introduce each button using Pan/Tilt Cam as an example.

3. Let me explain the meaning and function of the icons.

The button allows you to change the resolution of the screen; HD has a higher resolution but requires a higher Internet connection speed. On the other hand, if you switch to SD, the picture quality is not so clear, but it is still enjoyable enough for a smartphone.

Mute button. When unmuted, you will hear the ambient sound at the camera's installation location.

Press this button to switch to multi-view. If multiple cameras are paired to one account, up to four real surveillance screens can be viewed.

Pressing this button pauses the monitoring screen.

Screen Capture button. When pressed, a screenshot of the monitored screen at that point is generated. The screenshot can be viewed under "Playback" > "Recordings and Screenshots".

Call button. In one-way call mode, press and hold this button to talk. If you are in a two-way call mode, this button becomes a phone symbol, and you can press it once to keep talking. Press it again to end the call.

Screen Recording Button. Pressing it starts recording the real surveillance screen, and pressing it again ends the recording. Recordings can be viewed under "Playback" > "Recordings and Screenshots."

Press this button to view the monitoring screen in full screen.

4. The following information is for the bottom item column.
