    Dear Customer,
     
    To record your house while you are on holiday and ensure its security, you can use Blurams cameras and set them up to record continuously or based on events like motion detection. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:
     
    ### 1. **Ensure Your Device Supports Continuous Recording:**
    - Most Blurams devices support continuous recording, especially when paired with a Cloud Service subscription. Please confirm your device model supports this. For detailed functions of specific devices, refer to the “设备功能知识库” section.
     
    ### 2. **Subscribe to a Cloud Service:**
    - A Cloud Service subscription ensures continuous recording and saves videos securely in the cloud. Here’s how to activate:
    1. Open the Blurams app.
    2. Go to the [Device] page.
    3. Tap the icon on the lower right corner of the device card to enter the Cloud Service page.
    4. Choose an appropriate Cloud Service plan and make a payment.
    - Payment options include credit cards for manual renewal or PayPal for automatic renewal.
     
    ### 3. **Configure Event-Based Recording (If not using continuous recording):**
    - If you prefer not to use continuous recording, set up event-based recording instead:
    1. Open the Blurams app.
    2. Navigate to [Preferences/Settings] -> [Video Storage].
    3. Select the [Event Recording] option; this will ensure your camera records whenever motion or sound is detected.
     
    ### 4. **Check Your Device Settings:**
    - Enable motion detection:
    1. Go to [Preferences/Settings] -> [Detection Settings] -> [Motion detection].
    2. Ensure the motion detection switch is on. Adjust the sensitivity according to your preference.
    - Enable notifications for immediate alerts:
    1. Go to [Notifications] within the app.
    2. Allow notifications and enable motion detection alerts to receive immediate updates on your mobile device.
     
    ### 5. **Test Your Setup:**
    - Perform a test run before leaving on holiday to ensure everything is configured correctly.
    - Move around the house and check if the events are being recorded and notifications are being sent to your phone.
     
    ### 6. **Access Recorded Video:**
    - While you’re away, you can access recorded videos through the Blurams app or via the web client at https://client.blurams.com/login.
    - Ensure you have your device connected to a stable Wi-Fi network to upload recordings seamlessly to the cloud.
     
    ### 7. **Strengthen Wi-Fi Network:**
    - Ensure your camera is within range of a strong Wi-Fi signal to avoid connection loss.
    - If needed, use a Wi-Fi extender to improve the signal strength in the area where the camera is installed.
     
    ### 8. **Consider Cloud Service Benefits:**
    - Using cloud storage has several advantages over local SD card storage:
    - Theftproof and privacy security.
    - Unlimited storage based on your subscription plan.
    - Quick search and view videos within the app.
    - Easy downloading and sharing of video clips.
     
    Adopting these steps will significantly enhance the security monitoring of your house during your holiday. Should you face any issues or need further assistance, please let us know.
     
    May we have the MAC address/SN of your device (found on the device body), your Blurams app login account, and your email contact for further assistance?
     
    Thank you and secure travels!
