Quick Start Guide
Make sure that you have a strong WiFi connection at the
location of your Pivot. Visit
www.zmodo.com/support
for advice on improving your WiFi signal range.
Make sure you know the SSID (WiFi network name) and
password of the
2.4GHz WPA/WPA2 WiFi network
that
you want your Pivot to connect to. Your network cannot
be hidden.
Note:
Pivot cannot connect to an SSID with
any space(s) in it. You can replace the space by entering
your router’s settings. For example, “My Router” is not
allowed, but “My_Router” is allowed.

corresponding piece on the moveable part of the door or window. When

Monitor your doors and windows
When a door or window is opened, Pivot can automatically
turn to see what happened. Set up the included sensors by
removing the plastic tab and configuring the sensors in the
Pivot settings menu. When Pivot detects an opened
window or door, it will rotate to a preset location set in the
“Preset Setting” menu and capture a 30-second video clip.
