FAQ | X1

No, the indoor home security camera cannot detect motion through glass or a window. The X1 Security Camera is intended for indoor use only. It uses PIR (Passive Infrared) which only detects heat sources like people and pets to trigger its motion detection alert to reduce irrelevant motion events including passing cars or fan blade movement. However, infrared light does not pass through glass, so motion outside of the window will not trigger the X1’s PIR sensor.

Please reset and restart the home security camera and try again.

If the problem persists, please contact customer support.

(1) Download the “Bosma” app and create a new account or log in to your existing home security system account.

(3) On the Bosma home security app home screen, tap the “+” button at the top right corner, and select “X1 Lite Series”. Then, follow the in-app instructions to complete the setup.

No, your secure home security camera has not been hacked. The X1 Security Camera has a scheduled restart routine every once in a while. This is the X1 indoor home security camera performing a regular hardware check after it restarts. The “click” sounds come from testing the Night Vision lens, and the camera head turning is caused by the motor being tested.

(1) Steady Red: The security camera is powering up or waiting to be set up. If you have not set up the X1 yet, set up the X1 in the app. If you have already set up the X1 but it just restarted, wait for approximately 30 seconds, and it should automatically reconnect to the existing WiFi.

(2) Steady Blue: Connected. Everything is fine.

(3) Flashing Blue: Reconnecting to an existing WiFi hotspot. This may happen when you have set up the X1 Security Camera but it can no longer find the WiFi hotspot (either because the WiFi name/password was changed, or the camera/router was moved to another location so the signal was lost).

(4) Slow Flashing Red: Cannot connect to server. Please contact customer support.
