You can reach us by phone at +49 8207 959 90-0 or by e-mail at support@abus-sc.com. Help articles and commissioning videos can be found on the support portal support.abus-sc.com. With App2Cam Plus you have permanent access to the live image, the memory and all functions and settings of your security camera. You can count on it: The app's step-by-step wizard guides you through the setup process so that the app shows the first live image of the camera within a few minutes. 2. 2. make personal settings in the app to optimally set up the camera and app for the conditions at your location. 3. 3. all camera functions, e.g. the live image and access to recordings, are of course also available when you are on the road (assuming a stable internet connection). 4. the camera informs you about events (detected movements) via push message. For example, you can see immediately who is standing in front of your door, whether your child is already back from school, who is hanging around in your garden at night, what your dog is doing and much more. 5. up to 8 compatible cameras (8 base stations for models with battery) can be integrated into the app. Other functions depend on the camera model: - The latest generation of camera models and your smartphone connect even faster via Bluetooth during startup. This means that even camera beginners can get up and running in just a few minutes. - For cameras with the object differentiation function, define what the camera should report to you via push message: People, animals and/or vehicles. Adjust the sensitivity of the respective detection according to your personal needs. - For cameras with intercom function, you can activate the camera's microphone and loudspeaker in the live view at the touch of a button to talk back via smartphone and quickly clarify situations. - Detailed images in color even at night: with models including integrated LED light. - With pan-tilt cameras, you can intuitively control the angle of view by swiping directly on the live image or by calling up the preset positions. - For cameras with masking functions, you define in the settings private zones to be hidden (e.g. public streets, neighboring properties), zones with sensitive motion detection, or zones without detection at all (if, for example, a waving flag, or a shadow cast is detected as a person). At a glance: - Quick start-up via step-by-step wizard - Permanent free access to all functions - Push message in case of motion detection (detection mode depends on camera model) - Access in home network/WLAN and on the go (remote access) - Livestream - Recordings stored locally on microSD/USB stick (depends on camera model) - Intercom (depends on camera model) - Manage all settings / set personal settings - Up to 8 cameras/base stations.

Some things you only look for when you are in a hurry. The water shut-off valve. The fuse box. The storage room keys. The notebook you left somewhere. Stop explaining where things are. Send a wiit. A wiit is a photo of where the thing is, plus the part only you know. How it works Take the photo. wiit reads the street off the photo itself, so you only add what it cannot see: "third drawer down, turn it clockwise". Then find it later by name, place or tag. Mark something as urgent and it comes first in every list, everywhere. Group them A space holds everything about one place: the wifi, the boiler, the bin days, the meter. Hand the whole thing over at once instead of explaining it four times. Send it as a link Turn a wiit or a whole space into a link with a six-character code. Whoever opens it needs no app and no account. It opens in a browser, on any phone. You choose how long the link lasts, and you can pull it back whenever you want. The server cannot read it When you share something it is encrypted on your iPhone before it leaves. It is decrypted in the browser of whoever opens the link, using a code that never reaches our server. What we hold are blocks we have no key to. The rest never leaves the phone at all. Your wiits live on the device and sync through your own iCloud. There is no account to create, nothing to log into, and no analytics watching you. On paper too Export a whole space as a PDF or Markdown, for the folder in the hallway or the handover email. wiit Pro The app is free, and so is everything about keeping: unlimited wiits, unlimited spaces, tags, search, sync through your own iCloud. Sharing on free is one live link at a time: a single wiit, for seven days. wiit Pro is one payment. No subscription, ever. Ten live links at once, and two of them can be permanent. Share whole spaces in one link. Pick 7 days, 30, or never. Export to PDF and Markdown. Works offline. iPhone only.
