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.

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

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.
