Step 1: Prepare Camera and Mount
When it comes to home security, the SimpliSafe Camera offers an effective and affordable solution for homeowners. Before using this camera, however, there are a few steps that need to be taken to prepare it and mount it properly. Step one is the preparation of the camera and its mount.
To begin, check that all necessary components are in your package before setting up the camera and mount. This should include the camera itself, a mounting bracket or stand with screws, power adapters (if needed), and all other necessary tools as per instructions. Once you have confirmed everything is included you can proceed with step one: preparing the camera and its mount.
First use a spirit level to make sure that surface upon which you will be mounting your SimpliSafe Camera is level; if not then adjust accordingly. Next, remove the mounting bracket from your camera and attach it to the chosen surface. Then use the included tools (Phillips head screwdriver) to mount your camera onto the bracket. Once your camera is mounted, plug the power adapter into a nearby power outlet and wait for the camera to fully charge before proceeding to step two. Next, you will need to download the app from either Apple’s App Store or Google Play.
Step 2: Attach Mount to Wall
When it comes to mounting your Simplisafe camera, step two is attaching the mount to the wall. Before you attach the mount, make sure to pick a good location for your camera. It should have an unobstructed view of the area it will be monitoring as well as access to power via an available outlet. Once you’ve picked out a spot, use a level and pencil marks to indicate where you need to put the screws into the wall. Then take your drill or screwdriver and secure the mount into place. Make sure that it is securely fastened so there is no chance of it coming loose when positioning your camera later on. After that, you can then proceed with step three: plugging in power and connecting your Simplisafe Camera! Step 3 – Plug in Power and Connect Your Simplisafe Camera

The first step is to download the SimpliSafe app onto your mobile device, if you haven’t already done so. Once this has been completed, locate the camera’s serial number and use it to register the device on your SimpliSafe account. The next step is to connect the camera directly to your router using an Ethernet cable and then mount it in its desired location. Once this has been completed, you can use your smartphone to view the footage from the camera on the SimpliSafe app.
Step 1 – Downloading Your Device s Serial Number When you initially purchased your device, its serial number was included in an envelope inside of your package.

When you’re ready to mount your SimpliSafe camera, it’s important to make sure that the settings are adjusted correctly. This step will help ensure that your camera is properly secured and operational. There are several settings that you should adjust before mounting your SimpliSafe camera.
First, turn off all connected power sources. This will prevent any accidental surges or shorts from interfering with the installation process. Second, adjust the field of view on the camera lens so that it captures a wide area of coverage while still maintaining clarity in the images captured.
