What are some of the camera options?
Exactly what can I do with smart cameras?
Multi view
As soon as you pair a 2nd camera to your Grid Connect account the multi view feature will appear on the dashboard. This enables you to view your cameras in groups of 4.
Use cameras to turn on lights
Use your camera detecting motion to trigger another Grid Connect product, a such as a light, to turn on. Click here to see how easy it is to set this up.
SD card recording
Each of the Grid Connect cameras can record footage to an micro SD card. Click here to learn more about this. Need a micro SD card? Don’t worry, Bunnings Warehouse stock them as do many other retailers.
Don't want to worry about charging?
The Orion solar panel can charge wireless cameras and doorbells. This gives you the flexibility of wireless cameras, and the convenience of knowing your cameras will stay charged.
Flexible viewing
Pan and tilt cameras offer a much wider viewing area. This is very useful in open plan living areas to survey a large area without needing multiple cameras.
Reliable notifications
Human filter can detect human shapes, reducing the likelihood of non-human motion notifications. Don’t worry, you can choose a traditional motion detection if that suits you better.
Night vision
All Grid Connect cameras feature night vision so you can see what’s happening in your home at all hours.
Schedule down time
Schedule motion detection periods so that you know when movement is happening when you are out, but not when you are home.
Water resistant
Outdoor cameras are IP rated to cater to Australian conditions. Check the packaging for each products’ rating.
Want to keep an eye on your little ones? Our new night light camera range is the perfect way to do it. The nightlight can be turned on so that any one (big or small) who is scared of the dark can rest easy knowing that there aren’t monsters under the bed.
Did you know? With Grid Connect you can set motion detection so that you know when someone has gotten out of bed during the night.
Pan and tilt for full view options
With pan and tilt functionality this nightlight camera means you can view a wide area with a single camera. Available in stores soon so keep an eye out for it!
Product code: NL4257HA
Temp. sensor for peace of mind
The in-built temperature sensor means you can monitor the bedroom temperature throughout the night to keep everyone comfy as they sleep.
Product code: NL4231HA
Battery life
Rechargeable cameras are the easiest to install, since you don’t have to worry about where you are going to get power from. Click below to learn about how long Grid Connect rechargeable cameras last, and what influences that.
Have questions?
What happens when my SD card reaches capacity?
Just like a dashcam, the camera will automatically record over the oldest footage once the capacity of the SD card is reached. For this reason we recommend storing any video you want from the SD card on your phone/tablet for later use as soon as possible.
How do I get footage from the SD card?
For the best experience, use the Grid Connect app to collect footage from your camera. Open the camera feed, expand 
the menu then select playback 
. Adjust the date and time to find the footage you are after then tap the camera (for 
photos or for 
videos) to capture. This will be saved to your album. You can then export from your album 
to your phone/tablet.
Does Grid Connect store footage in the cloud?
No. For your privacy the only copy of any footage is stored on your SD card, or saved from your app to your phone/tablet.
Do I need to be on the same Wi-Fi network as my camera to view the footage?
No! With Grid Connect you can view the live view or playback from the SD card whilst you are away from home. As long as your camera has access to the internet via your home Wi-Fi you are good to go.
Why do my Grid Connect cameras have different settings when compared to each other?
At Grid Conenct we are constantly trying to improve the features that our products can provide. Sometimes we are able to provide new features to product already ‘out in the wild’ (such as your devices at home) – we will always do this if we can so you can get the most from your products. Sometimes some devices won’t have the compatible hardware to support these new features.
Why is my pan and tilt camera moving?
Our pan and tilt cameras have a motion tracking feature. This means that the camera tracks movement by panning and tilting. You can disable this feature via the product settings.
How to: turn on a light when motion is detected
Follow along with this automation setup example to see how to set a light to turn on for 3 minutes when motion is detected, but only at night. Some cameras may look a bit different in the automation section of the app, contact our team if you need help or aren’t sure how to set an automation to suit your needs.

How to: personalising your alarm kit
Step 1: Pairing
The smart hub with keypad is the main control unit. It connects to your network via Wi-Fi. Make sure to do this before setting up the accessories.
To put the product into pairing mode make sure it’s connect to power and the toggle switch has been turned to ON. Enter the menu via the tick button then navigate down via the ‘8’ button to ‘Wi-Fi’. Select the ‘Smartlink Configure’ option.
In the Grid Connect app select the + icon at the bottom right of the dashboard then ‘others’. Follow on the on-screen prompts.
Tip: You will have 2 minutes to pair to the Grid Connect app. Repeat these steps to put the product back into pairing mode if you aren’t able to pair within this time.
For full pairing instructions refer to page 9 of the product instructions (link above).
Step 2: Secure your perimeter
Once your smart hub with keypad is paired, you are ready to start setting up the sensors. The sensors don’t need internet to connect to the smart hub. This means that even if the internet isn’t available (for example, due to an internet service provider outage) they will still trigger the sirens (if set).
To save you time, by default the sensors will come paired to the unit. Tap on ‘accessories’ from the alarm product page to see your accessories. If you cannot see any listed, refer to the instructions on page 16. Use the pencil to customise the name of each sensor.
NOTE: the siren will not appear in the accessories list. Refer FAQ topic below for more information on what to do if the siren is not working when the indoor keypad unit sounds.
Tip: work out which sensor is which by changing the mode to from ‘off’ to ‘chime’. Trigger the sensor (make sure power is toggled on to the sensor first) and listen for a chime sound from the keypad.
Each pack includes 2 motion sensors and 2 contact sensors. Each smart hub with keypad can have up to 100 accessories paired to it.
Accessories list
– Contact sensors (DA524HA). Available for purchase at Bunnings Warehouse.
– Motion sensors (DA523HA). Available for purchase at Bunnings Warehouse.
– RFID tags (DL094RT). Available for purchase at Bunnings Warehouse.
– External siren (included in pack, will not appear in the accessories list within the app, not available for purchase separately).
Step 3: Customising alarm modes
The alarm kit includes 3 different modes, allowing personalisation for you within your home and recognising that you may want the alarm to behave differently when you are home, or away from home. To change the mode you can use the app or the keypad. Each sensor can be configured to behave differently depending on the mode.
Via the app:
Via the keypad:
It’s recommended to set an access code on the keypad, to ensure only people you select can adjust the alarm mode. This code is set via the key-pad by selecting the ‘tick’ > settings > password. From here you can set 2 different 4-digit codes to unlock the keypad. Both have the same level of access, but are named differently for convenience of identifying each.
To enable the keypad lock select the ‘tick’ > settings > switch > keypad lock > on.
Step 4: Configuring accessories to the alarm modes
There are 8 different modes that the accessories can be set to, this customises how the alarm system will respond when each of the sensors is triggered based upon the mode the alarm is in at the time. This can be adjusted at any time via the app, but cannot be adjusted via the keypad.
To select an accessory mode tap on the ‘accessories’ bubble from the product page in the app then tap on your sensor. Make sure to ‘save’ your desired mode before exiting this section of the app. 
The below accessory modes mean the alarm system will behave differently when the sensors are triggered, depending on which mode it is in. Each accessory can be set to a different option, depending on your preference.
| Accessory mode | Disarmed | Away mode | Home mode |
| normal | – | yes | yes |
| constant | yes | yes | yes |
| delay | – | yes, with delay (if set) | yes, with delay (if set) |
| away only | – | yes | – |
| away with delay | – | yes, with delay (if set) | – |
The below accessory modes result in the alarm system behaving in the same way, regardless of the mode.
| Accessory mode | Alarm behaviour |
| constant silent | You will get a notification in the app when the sensor is triggered, but the alarm will not sound. |
| chime | A chime will sound from the smart hub. |
| off | No notifications will be received, the alarm will not sound. |
Understanding delays: delays can be customised via the app for both entry and exit. To do this select the settings gear at the top right from the product page in the app.
Exit delay: This will start as soon as the alarm is put into away mode. It is designed to allow you to leave the house without any sensors triggering the alarm. It can be customised in 1 second increments from 0m 0s to 4m 59s. The exit delay cannot be adjusted per accessory.
Entry delay: This delays triggering the alarm upon the sensor triggering when in away mode. It is designed to allow you to enter the house and disarm/change to home mode without triggering the alarm. It can be customised in 1 second increments from 0m 0s to 4m 59s. The entry delay cannot be adjusted per accessory.
Step 5: Automations with other Grid Connect products
Once you’ve personalised your alarm kit by customising your accessories you may want to go further and use your alarm to automate other Grid Connect devices within your home. You can use the alarm mode change (selecting a new mode out of disarmed, away or home) as well as when the alarm going off as a trigger for other Grid Connect devices to function via an automation. For instance, you may want your camera motion detection notification to turn off when you have set your alarm to home mode, or you may want to have lights turn red when the alarm is activated so that if you are hard of hearing or far away from the siren, you know the alarm has been triggered.
Tap on the menu icon (≡) from the top left hand side of the main app screen (not the product page) > scenes and automation > + > when device status changes > select your alarm from the device list.
For the alarm mode to be the trigger state select ‘mode’ and either ‘away’, ‘home’ or disarmed. When the alarm changes into that mode, the automation will start. It doesn’t matter if the mode change is via the keypad or via the app – the automation will still work as long as the keypad has internet connectivity.
For the alarm sounding to be the trigger select ‘alarm state’, choose ‘siren on’ for the alarm being triggered by the sensors to be the automation trigger. This automation will work whether you triggered the alarm manually (via the app) or it triggered due to a sensor. Once you’ve selected your trigger choose from the list of options and then you will be able to customise what you’d like your other Grid Connect devices to do. Tap the + icon beside ‘Then’ and then follow the onscreen prompts. You can add up to 150 device actions, so you have a lot of flexibility in what comes next. Make sure to save your automation once you’ve set it how you’d like.
Helpful information
Siren alert
Can I turn the siren off?
You can adjust the siren duration either via the app or keypad (described below). If you set the duration to 0m (via the keypad), you will still receive an app notification when the sensors trigger however neither of the sirens will sound.
It is easy to adjust the siren duration to suit your needs. Modify settings via the keypad or in the app. The most recent adjustment, regardless of where it’s made, takes effect.
- 1. Via the keypad: 0-999min (accessible via menu > settings > delay > siren duration)
- 2. Via the app: 1-59min (accessible via the product page > menu > settings > alarm duration)

RFID tags
I want to add more RFID tags, where can I get more?
Additional RFID tags can be purchased via special orders from Bunnings Warehouse. Click here for the product link. You can also purchase generic RFID tags for this purpose but please ensure they are RF 13.56 MHz, otherwise they will not work with the unit. To add them to the alarm system tap the ‘accessories’ bubble from the product page > press + at the bottom right then touch the tag to the keypad screen. A chirp will be heard from the keypad and it will now appear in your accessories list.
There are many options for you, so pick the one that suits you!
- The app can be used to select between disarmed/home/away modes. The alarm system and mobile phone will need internet connectivity to do this.
- The keycode can be used to select between disarmed/home/away modes. Internet connectivity is not required to do this.
- The RFID tag can be used to swap between disarmed/away modes. Internet connectivity is not required to do this.
Changing modes
What options do I have for changing the mode on the alarm?
Outdoor siren
What do I do if the outdoor siren isn’t sounding?
The outdoor siren comes pre-paired to the keypad, and will not appear in the accessories list. To test whether it is paired manually trigger the alarm when the siren has been installed and powered as per the instruction manual. If it is not sounding, follow the steps outlined on page 19 of the instruction manual. It is suggested to turn off, via the toggle switch on the product, all other accessories when doing this to prevent a cross-pair which will result in the siren sounding when another sensor is triggered. If it is not practical to turn off the other sensors, ensure that they are not triggered whilst pairing the siren.
Due to the way the motion and contact sensors communicate to the keypad, directly via RF instead of via the cloud, it is not possible to use the sensors to trigger an automation. You can use the alarm sounding (based upon the sensor mode’s set) to trigger automations. To do this select the condition as ‘alarm state’ > ‘siren on’.
