Help CenterYou cannot connect any cameras to this Alarm System. The Wifi cameras connect to the same app and you can view up to 16 Cameras at once.
The OSI Wi-Fi Cameras are used to compliment the OSI Alarm System by allowing you to quickly view the live and motion recorded video from the cameras to verify who broke into your home or if it may have been a false alary where someone in the house did not disarm the alarm system on time. Also, you mayu use the Wifi Cameras for other security reasons such as monitoring kids, pets, recording any suspicious activity in your home etc ). They both use the same Smart Life app but, the OSI Wi-fi Cameras do not connect physically or wirelessly to the OSI Alarm System. We recommend at least using a couple indoor Mini PTZ Cameras pointed at your front and rear entrences and then a few cameras on teh front such as a camera facing the front yard and driveway and a doorbell camera. then at least one camera at the back of the house.
When your alarm is trigged by one of the sensors and you receive a notification to the Smart Life App on your smartphone/tabelet, then instead of having to physically check on your property to see if anyone broke into your house (or call a neighbor or friend to check on your house if you are not close by, then all you have to do is open up teh live camera feeds of your cameras on the same Smart Life app to check to see if anyone is in fact inside your home.
Also, if anyone actually did go into your home, you would also get an additional "motion trigger notification" to your smart life app from any of the wifi cameras that the person would have passed by. This gives you an additional confirmation that someone has broken into your home. If your OSI Wifi Camera is set to record only motion, then if someone is in your home it would have recorded the incident as well.
So again, to reiterate, the Wifi Cameras do not physically connect to the Alarm System, it only uses the same Smart Life app to control and monitor both the OSI Alarm System but, together work to help with self monitoring and avoid the need to pay for monthly monitoring f
