What is AlfredCamera?

Our features have been developed for one reason—to help bring you peace of mind. “Simple security at your fingertips” is what we strive for.

With over 15 million users worldwide, AlfredCamera is the world’s most popular home security camera. We all have someone and something we deeply care about. Whether it’s to keep your babies, pets, or other family members safe or keep an eye on your home, Alfred is here to help you. We believe that everyone deserves the peace of mind, so we made home security easy and free for everyone.

AlfredCamera can run on different platforms and devices, such as Android and iOS, computers, or AlfredCam (Alfred’s own hardware camera). All you need to do is register an Alfred account, and you will be able to start using them as your security cameras. Once your camera device is all set, you can watch live sessions, Event videos, or Continuous Recording Footage at any time and anywhere.

With our Motion Detection technology, you can detect any motions you might want to know, whether an alarming intruder at your door or simply your excited pet running through the house. In addition, you can also turn on the Continuous Recording to never miss anything. If you would like to check Moments and Events videos, you can find all the videos triggered by the motions when you were gone. If you would like to check what happened in the past 8 hours, including all the Events, you can playback the Continuous Recording footage.

What devices and systems does AlfredCamera support?

AlfredCamera works on Android devices, iOS devices, computers, and AlfredCam (AC101) (Alfred’s own hardware camera).

To make home security accessible to everyone, we try to make AlfredCamera available on as many smartphone/tablet devices and operating systems as possible. You can connect devices running across Android and iOS systems, use Alfred’s WebCamera / WebViewer, or AlfredCam.

As a rule of thumb, if you can find the AlfredCamera app on the Google Play Store or App Store on your device, it most likely means that the Alfred app can run on your device. However, we do not support any IP cameras or security systems on the market, but you may use AlfredCam, Alfred’s hardware camera.

What are the recommended OS requirements for my device?

1.Viewer devices

You can set almost any smartphone and tablet device as Viewer devices, as long as they run on systems Android 5.0+ and iOS 11+. The same Viewer device requirements apply if you also use AlfredCam (Alfred’s own hardware camera). We suggest that you use your daily phones as Viewer devices.
.

2.Camera devices

As long as you can find Alfred’s app on the Google Play Store or App Store, you can use your device as a camera.

📱 Android: Android 5.0 or above

📱 iOS: iOS 11 or above

What if I don’t have two devices that run above iOS 11 or Android 5.0?

If you do not have at least two smartphone or tablet devices that run above iOS 11 or Android 5.0, you can use one of the alternatives given below:

• Use Alfred’s WebCamera（only supported on Chrome) / WebViewer on Chrome or Safari as your Camera and Viewer device

• Use Alfred’s AlfredCam (Alfred’s own hardware camera) as your Camera device. See how to get your own AlfredCam via in-app purchase here

What are some of the requirements to use AlfredCamera?

Alfred is all about seamlessly turning old and retired smartphones or tablets into home security cameras. AlfredCamera can run on different platforms and devices, such as Android and iOS, computers, and AlfredCam.

As we stated that AlfredCamera allows you to build a “Simple Security at Your Fingertips”, it only requests certain minimum storage and internet requirements to set up. In this article, you will learn more about:

• Storage requirements

• Internet requirements

Storage Requirements

Motion Detection

While Alfred keeps your Events and Moments in the Cloud, we still need some local storage to generate snapshots and perform other basic actions on your device.

• Android devices: Alfred requires 24-25 MB of storage from your Camera device
(If your device runs on Android 7.0 and up, Alfred will need around 40 MB of local storage to run all the APIs)

• iOS devices: Alfred requires 24-32 MB of storage from your Camera device

Continuous Recording

The Continuous Recording footage is saved on your Camera device instead of in the Cloud. Free users and Premium users have different storage requirements:

• Free users: 0.6 GB from your Camera device

• Premium users: 2.4 GB from your Camera device

Alfredcam (AC101)

AlfredCam is Alfred’s own hardware camera, which requires an SD card inserted if you want to enable Continuous Recording. On the other hand, there are no other storage requirements if you only use the AlfredCam for Motion Detection. Event (motions triggered) and Moment (manually recorded/saved) videos are stored on Alfred’s Clouds for 7 days or 14 days depending on your subscription status.

Internet Requirements

1. Not only your Camera and Viewer devices, but AlfredCam also needs internet connections to function

• Camera device: Your Camera device must always be connected to a stable internet to run Motion Detection, record videos, and upload videos onto the Cloud

• Viewer device: Your Viewer device requires an internet connection to receive notifications, watch Live streaming, or play a Motion Detection video

• AlfredCam (AC101): AlfredCam currently only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and does not support mobile networks or 5GHz Wi-Fi at the moment

Most of our users connect their Camera devices or AlfredCam to their WiFi at home and use their Viewer devices on mobile or office networks. However, the WiFi signal has a higher chance of being unevenly distributed or inconsistent, so we recommend checking Connection Report or WiFi Signal Strength (for AlfredCam) to see if your WiFi signal needs to be improved. You can also use the WiFi Analyzer app to help find an area with the strongest signal to place your Camera device or AlfredCam.

Additionally, you can try the following suggestions to improve your network stability (this does not apply to the AlfredCam):

• Delete unnecessary apps to save bandwidth (⚠️ Keep Google Play Service for Alfred to work)

• Move your router or install a WiFi extender if you have trouble getting signals in some corners

• Assign bandwidth priority for Alfred

2. How much data does Alfred use?

Data consumption may vary depending on lighting conditions, movement frequencies, and more. While it’s hard to be specific about Alfred’s data consumption, here are some guidelines that might help you:
.

• Live feed: between 20-70 KB /sec (depending on the lighting condition)

• Motion Detection snapshot: 20-50 KB

• A 5-second Motion Detection Event:

• Free users: 80-120 KB

• Premium users: 400-600 KB

• Premium Motion Detection: 150-250 KB/sec

• Continuous Recording:

• Free users: 50KB/sec

• Premium users: 120KB/sec

If you want to get a more accurate idea of how much data your Alfred needs, we recommend that you test Alfred out for a day or two.

3. Does Alfred work when I’m abroad?

As long as all devices are connected to the internet, Alfred works regardless of the distance between the devices. Make sure your Camera devices have a stable connection and that your Viewer devices are connected to a WiFi network or can access international roaming.

When you’re away from home, don’t forget to keep your Camera devices plugged in.

⚠️ Note: Since Alfred relies heavily on Google’s technology, if the country you’re in doesn’t support Google, Alfred will not be able to function properly.

What permissions does Alfred need? How do I turn them on?

To ensure it runs smoothly, there are a few permissions to grant Alfred. Below are the permissions Alfred needs and why:

1.Record audio: You can hear as well as speak to the Camera device from your Viewer device.

2.Record videos: Alfred is a home security app that records and delivers videos.

Night Vision (AlfredCam)

Night Vision can be switched Automatic, On, or Off

Automatic On Off

AlfredCam’s Night Vision functions based on six 850nm infrared LED lights on each camera to show you a clear black and white image even in a dark environment. It allows you to see objects up to 16ft (5m) to 22ft (7m) away, depending on the size of the objects and the light source around them. When Night Vision is set to Automatic, it will detect the light source around the environment and automatically switch to black-and-white vision when there’s insufficient light.

• Night Vision: Automatic

• Night Vision: On

• Night Vision: Off

Night Vision: Automatic (Recommended)

When Night Vision is set to automatic, it detects the light source around the camera and will either show the natural color or switch to a black-and-white vision when there is insufficient light. If your AlfredCam is in an environment that does not get consistent light, it is recommended to set Night Vision to Automatic. To turn on this mode, please follow the steps below:

⚠️Night Vision will be set to Automatic by default for new users.

It is only recommended to set Night Vision to Off when there is a constant light source in the viewable area.

If you would like to turn Night Vision off, please follow the steps below:

1.Enter your AlfredCam live session

Fewer false alarms as the video cameras can differentiate between humans, animals, and other objects.

Machine learning systems help your surveillance system keep a database of all faces captured. This means the system will be able to recognize regular faces like those of neighbors, the mailman, and family members. As a result, no alarm will be triggered.
