1. Waterproof:

HM4001 SmartBase is for indoor use only and not waterproof. Do not place it in damp or outdoor environments to avoid water damage.

1. Operating Temperature:

The device operates at 14°F～122°F. Please use within this range to prevent malfunctions caused by extreme temperatures.

SmartBase supports Ethernet connection (recommended) and 2.4GHz WiFi; 5GHz WiFi is not supported.

• Ethernet (Recommended):

Stable and neat. Connect directly to a wall network port, Mesh satellite LAN port, or switch without long cables from the main router. Use existing wiring and place the base station close to the camera for optimal signal.

• WiFi Connection:

Only supports 2.4GHz. Place the base station 5–8 meters between the router and camera, minimizing wall obstructions to ensure good signal quality.

• Supported Devices: Currently supports only Anona Aurora.
• Device Limit: One SmartBase supports binding up to 4 sub-devices.

1. Check Wi-Fi Network: Ensure the router’s Wi-Fi is working properly, and your phone and SmartBase are on the same LAN.
2. Confirm Wi-Fi Band: Only 2.4GHz Wi‑Fi is supported; 5GHz is not supported.
3. Verify Password: Enter the correct Wi-Fi password, pay attention to case sensitivity and special characters.
4. Move Closer: Place SmartBase near the router during configuration for better signal.
5. Wired connection: Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected and the router port is working.

1. Check Power: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected and the device is powered on.
2. Check Indicator: Observe the indicator light status; a solid orange light indicates a network timeout.
3. Restart Router: Try restarting the connected router.
4. Re-configure Network: If the above methods fail, long-press the reset button to reset the device and then add it again.

1. Move SmartBase closer to the router to reduce obstacles and signal interference.
2. Restart both the router and SmartBase.
3. Switch to Ethernet connection in the App if available.
4. Ensure the WiFi channel is not congested; change the channel in the router settings if needed.

Please follow these steps to enable SmartBase storage:

1. Check firmware: Ensure both your camera and SmartBase are updated to the latest firmware.
2. Change Storage Location: Go to the camera’s Settings > Storage Location.
3. Manual switch: Select Store to SmartBase to enable synchronized storage.
4. ⚠️ Important Note (Configure Each Camera): This setting only applies to the current camera being configured.

1. Ensure the SD card is inserted properly and check its status in the App storage page.
2. When the SD card is full, the device automatically overwrites the earliest videos.
3. Check storage mode: Timelapse mode only saves timestamps; event videos must be enabled separately.
4. After switching accounts, videos from the previous account will be deleted and unavailable.

Supports 16–512GB SD cards. Use reputable brand memory cards with C10 / U1 / V10 or higher speed ratings to avoid data loss or recognition errors.

1. Format via App:

In the Anona App, go to SmartBase > Storage Settings and tap Format SD Card.

• Note: Formatting erases all data. Back up important files in advance.

If formatting fails:Check that the SD card is securely inserted and undamaged.Replace with a compliant SD card and try again.Restart SmartBase and retry formatting.

2. Format via PC:

If App formatting fails, insert the SD card into a computer and format it as FAT32 or exFAT, or use a new SD card.

This is normal.

1. Calculation Difference: Manufacturers use decimal (1GB=1000MB), while the system uses binary (1GB=1024MB).
2. System Usage: The storage card needs to reserve some space for the file system and maintenance.

This may be a reading error. Please try the following:

1. Re-insert the SD card.
2. Restart SmartBase.
3. If it is still not recognized, check on a computer to see if the card is damaged or try formatting it on the computer.

1. After unbinding and rebinding the same camera to the same account, stored videos remain on SmartBase and can be viewed via the 🕒 button at the bottom of the App.
2. Videos under the original account will be deleted and unavailable after binding to a new account.
