5. Network Connection
Congratulations on your purchase of a Zclever security camera. Whether you have purchased a PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) dome camera, a fixed bullet camera, or a small indoor unit, Zclever devices are designed to provide affordable, high-definition surveillance. Unlike professional commercial systems, Zclever cameras rely on a smartphone application (typically called Zsmart, CloudEdge, or Wansview depending on the manufacturing batch) and cloud or local SD card storage. zclever security camera manual
