πŸ’‘ Full Color Night Vision: Your cameras have a small LED light. At night, this provides enough light to enable Full Color Mode (instead of black & white IR). It triggers automatically on motion but can be disabled in settings if preferred. Environmental light (like a hallway lamp) can also trigger full color mode.

πŸ“‘ Network & WiFi

Your network is designed to be "set and forget". You likely won't need to check this often. The system works automatically, and firmware updates are scheduled to happen in the background.

Dedicated WiFi

Your Telstra box is now just a router. All WiFi is handled by Omada WAPs for better speed.

Data Ports

Wall Access Points have 3 data ports on the bottom for plugging in TVs, laptops, or printers.

Bottom Data Ports

The wall units have 3 ports at the bottom. You can use any of these for devices like TVs or Laptops.
