Before using the camera for the first time, please
read the ‘Important Notes’.
Important notes:
1. If the seal labels on the box are torn, missing, or damaged before you
2. Before using the camera, please perform the Setup Camera as described
- 3 -wiwacam.com/support
in Chapter 2 of this manual.
3. WiFi performance of each camera has been tested before delivery. However,
the WiFi antenna may get impacted during shipping. If you have any weak
WiFi performance problem on the camera you receive, please contact us for
a replacement.
4. The MW8 camera uses external surfaces for heat dissipation. You may
notice that the camera surface is warm during camera operation, this is
normal.
5. The MW8 camera has equipped a Camera Lens Cover in front of the
camera lens to conceal the camera. We have used WIWACAM Ultra Hidden
Glass for this purpose. However, this can still have a slight impact on the
image quality, which is considered normal. All the similar models available
in the market experience a similar impact.
6. Please be aware that the Camera Lens Cover glass is fragile and can
easily break if it falls to the ground.
7. To achieve better image quality and better night vision, please place the
MW8 camera closer to the edge of the table. If it is positioned too far away
from the table edge, a significant portion of the image may be occupied by
the table itself. We recommend keeping a distance of LESS than 6 inches
from the camera to the table edge for optimal results.
8. In night vision mode, be careful not to have objects too close to the lens.
Objects closed to lens will block the infrared rays or reflect the infrared
rays to the lens. The blocking or reflection will severely degrade night vision
image quality.
9. The MW8 prevents rapid switching back and forth between day mode
and night mode. If the camera switches modes several times within 1
minute, it will stay in night mode for 30 minutes. Afterward, it resumes
attempting to detect the lighting conditions automatically. If you see the
camera still in night mode when the room is well-lit, simply wait a few
minutes for it to switch back to auto light detection mode.

2.2 Detach the Camera Lens Cover
The camera lens cover is held onto the device with a adhesive strip.
Begin by going to the side where the camera lens is located, and gently lift

Note: When you detach the lens cover, it's normal if there's some adhesive
strip left on the device.

bend or twist the glass, as it might break accidentally. Pay close attention to
ensure no person gets hurt if glass broken.
