Is there a way to download or view the installation guide for my Codi camera?

Of Course! Here is the link for the guide Codi Installation guide

What are the Wi-Fi connection requirements for my new camera? You will need a 2.4GHz (802.11bg/n) on your home or office system for Wi-Fi connectivity. Don’t worry – this is pretty standard for most home Wi-Fi routers these days.

What are the minimum smart phone requirements for use with this Momentum camera?

A mobile device running on an Android 6.0+ or iOS 10.0+ platform. Right now, Windows-based phones are not compatible with Momentum.

Can the camera stand on its own, or does it have to be attached to something?

The camera can stand on its own. This makes it very portable in case you want to try it out in various rooms of the house. But it can also be securely mounted on a table, wall, or ceiling.

How do you mount the Momentum Codi camera onto a surface?

Included in the Momentum Codi product box are materials you can use to securely mount your camera:

• A 1 ½” round piece of double-sided tape
• A 1 ¾” round metal plate with two holes
• Two screws with plastic anchors You have the option of using the tape alone: Simply stick one side to the bottom of the metal plate and the other to your chosen surface. For a stronger mount, screw the metal plate into the surface (e.g., wall or ceiling), and then watch as the magnetic bottom of the camera snaps securely into place. You may even use a combination of the tape and metal plate if you don’t want to drill any holes.

Where in my house or office is the best place to put my camera?

This depends on what area you want the camera to view. Some popular choices are front door entry, baby’s bedroom, living room, and garage.

What about mounting it facing outdoors through a window?

This will work great during daylight hours. However, at night the infrared (IR) camera light will reflect off the glass and greatly reduce any outside visibility. Make sure you turn off the Night Vision option in the settings if you still plan to do so.

Does this camera work outdoors?

The Momentum Codi camera is not made of materials that will withstand harsh weather or extended exposure to rainwater. Therefore, we recommend that it be used indoors or in an area protected from the elements. If you would like an outdoor camera, we would recommend the Momentum Teri Battery Camera which is a weatherproof that protects the outside of your property. Click here to learn more about the Momentum Teri.

Will I be able to capture images at night or in dark environments?

Sure! The camera has Infrared (IR) night vision built right in. Night vision mode is automatically activated when the camera senses a low light environment.

Is the Codi camera wireless, or do I have to plug it in to use it?

In order to function, the Codi camera need to be directly connected to a power source. With a wired (plugged in) connection you have the advantage of unlimited power and never having to worry about changing or charging a battery. This is the best way to use a security camera. And you won’t ever miss out on that special YouTube moment!

I see my Momentum camera has a Micro SD card slot. Why do I need a Micro SD card?

You do not need a memory card to record videos as every device now comes with a free 24hr video playback. However, if you want to maintain your videos for a longer period of time or just want to back-up those recorded videos, you may use a micro-SD card to do so.

What type of Micro SD card is best to use?

Most brands of Micro SD cards will work fine, as long as their capacity does not exceed 128 GB and is at least Class 4 and in FAT32 format. Here is an estimate of the number of hours of recording you will get with various sizes of Micro SD cards, recording at 720p:

• 4GB = 12 hours
• 8GB = 25 hours
• 16GB = 50 hours
• 32GB = 100 hours

Is it better to use the Micro SD card or subscribe to a Momentum Secure Plan?

The choice depends on your projected use and needs. Momentum Secure Plan allows you to record an unlimited number of recordings during the set storage duration that you purchase. Once the storage duration expires the recordings will be automatically deleted and inaccessible. The microSD card allows you to record a certain number of hours, and then the recording will loop around to the beginning and record over the earliest saved data. With either option, you can easily share your recorded videos and photos with friends or family, or even yourself!

How do I purchase a Momentum Secure subscription plan?

You may purchase the Momentum Secure subscription plan through the Momentum Secure App. Simply log into your account and navigate to Account Info. From there, tap on Subscription Plan and choose the plan that best fits your needs.

Is it possible for me to use multiple Momentum cameras at one time and control them all from the same Momentum account and app?

Yes, as long as the camera is paired under Momentum secure App.
