If the device is associated to a Cloud Service, when the device is removed, the Cloud Service will be unassociated from this device. This will not affect your other devices. You can manage all Cloud Services under your account through “Me” -> “Cloud Service” -> “My Cloud Service”.
What is blurams Cloud Service?
Cloud Service is a service that saves the device’s videos to the cloud server, and includes additional features such as face recognition (supported by some device models), favorite videos, and video sharing.
The cloud video function uses bank-level AES256 security encryption technology and has five security protection guarantees, includes terminal security enhancement, data transmission, cloud storage, carrier-grade computer room management and global security certification.
After subscribing to Cloud Service, you will get the following features:
1. The device will support 24/7 continuous video recording which will be saved to the cloud, you can quickly play back any of your videos anytime, anywhere as long as they are saved.
2. The device will support the face recognition function (supported by some device models). You can add tags such as family, friends, and delivery people to the faces recognized by the device, and you can quickly find videos which contain people’s faces as the videos are cataloged by the faces present on the video.
3. The device will get additional storage space for cloud video collections. You can save wonderful videos to its collection space. These videos will be saved permanently even if your Cloud Service expires.
4. You can share interesting videos recorded on the cloud to third-party social platforms.
Cloud services can be classified in the two following ways:
1. According to the duration of the video storage
The length of time a video is saved represents the longest number of days a video has been stored in the cloud. For example, for a 7-day cloud service, a video can be stored in the cloud for a maximum of 7 days. The cloud will automatically delete videos older than 7 days and then continue to save newly uploaded videos.
2. According to the validity period of the service
The validity period of the service indicates the length of time that the cloud service can be used.
The validity period of a monthly cloud service is 1 month, and the validity period of an annual cloud service is 1 full year. Therefore, if a user purchases a monthly Cloud Service on October 3rd, then the expiration date of this cloud service will be on the 2nd of the next month, that is, November 2nd. The same applies to the annual plan, which is valid until the next year.
During the validity period of the Cloud Service, the cloud will automatically delete videos longer than the saved time according to the video storage duration of the Cloud Service, and then save the newly uploaded videos in a loop until the validity period is reached.
What are the mechanisms behind blurams Cloud Service’s recording and saving?
Different Cloud Service plans provide different options when it comes to recording methods used, video storage length and service duration. Definitions:
1. Recording methods:
1) Event recording: the camera will automatically begin to record whenever the camera detects motion, sound and human faces. Blurams cameras provide free lifetime 24-hour event recording.
2) Continuous recording: the camera will conduct 24-hour all day continuous recording and uploading to the cloud for as long as the camera is online and the network is stable.
2. Video storage length:
The video storage length refers to the longest number of days a video has been stored in the cloud. For example, with a 7-day Cloud Service, the cloud automatically deletes videos older than 7 days and then continues to save newly uploaded videos, it always keeps the last 7 days of videos.
3. Cloud Service validity period:
The validity period refers to how long you can use the Cloud Service after activation. For example, if the one month 7-day Cloud Service is activated at 00:00 on January 1st, 2020, the validity period is one natural month, from 00:00 on January 1st, 2020 to 00:00 on February 1st, 2020.

2. Go to [Me]-[Favorites], tap [Favorites] to see all your favorite videos. Choose a video clip and click to download it.
3. Go to the live page, tap the
button, and it will record real-time videos directly.
Why is the duration of each video in the library 12 seconds?
If the device is not subscribed to a Cloud Service or the Cloud Service expires, the system will give the device a lifetime valid event recording Cloud Service by default. The Cloud Service supports the storage of events that happened in the last 24 hours to the cloud. The length of each event is about 12 seconds.
If you want to view the full video of the entire event, you can subscribe the device to Cloud Services. If you do not want to save the video to the cloud, you can go to the device’s [Preferences/Settings] “ ” -> [device storage] and turn off [cloud video recording]. Once this is done, the platform will no longer save video files uploaded by the device.
The cloud media library does not support displaying the videos saved on the SD card. You can enter the “Playback” page of the device to play the videos on the SD card, or insert the SD card into a computer to view the videos.
What does “Cloud storage time” mean?
You can add special or interesting event videos to your favorites. These videos will be stored in the cloud. The clipvideo length means the amount of time that an event took place.
Can I put the blurams Cloud Service on hold and extend the end date of my subscription?
Any cloud recording subscription will keep counting down once activated. It cannot be put on hold even by deleting the device or turning off cloud recording.
How do I get a trial plan?

If you pay by PayPal, the purchase of the service will be done with automatic renewals. After the Cloud Service expires, PayPal will automatically renew. For example, if you purchased a monthly Cloud Service, and the Cloud Service expires one month later, PayPal will automatically renew the Cloud Service for the next month and automatically extend the validity period of the Cloud Service, eliminating the need to manually resubscribe each month.
Note: One Cloud Service can be transferred to different devices as needed, but it is limited to one device at a given time. If you need to use the cloud on multiple devices under one account simultaneously, you need to subscribe Cloud Services for each camera.
How do I check my current Cloud Service plans?

What is face recognition?
Face recognition is a camera-based value-added service that provides more security and a more complete smart camera experience. Face recognition helps protect your family and record important moments. Furthermore, Blurams guarantees to protect the security and privacy of the user’s information and data.
Face detection and identification data recorded by your Blurams camera can only be viewed and used by the user after logging into the Blurams system, which is secured and which requires user authentication. Although face recognition works in most circumstances, it is possible that due to the camera angle and the surrounding environment, the face detection and recognition functions cannot always work normally. For these reasons we cannot guarantee that these functions will always operate as intended.
How can I get face recognition on my blurams camera?
At present, the face recognition function is only supported on the Blurams PRO series and is not supported on the LITE series. If your device is a PRO series device (including Snowman), you can turn on the face recognition function after you try the Cloud Service in the APP or after you subscribe to the Cloud Service. If you subscribe to a Cloud Service prepaid card containing face recognition and bind it to your device, you can also turn on the face recognition function.
How do I use the face recognition feature?
After you subscribe to a Cloud Service plan and enable the face recognition function, the face recognition function will be enabled within 5 minutes.
After the device detects and recognizes a face, you can use the face function by going through one of the following two portals:
1. Enter from the device list
After a device recognizes a face, it will display the face pictures of the 3 people who have appeared recently in the upper left corner of the display picture (as shown below). You can enter the “Family Moment” page by clicking one of the face thumbnails to view associated facial recognition event videos.
After entering the “Family Moment” page, you can see the interface as shown below.
The top area (area 1) displays the list of all human faces recently recognized by the device, and area 2 displays the associated face recognition event videos from the device. After you select one of the person’s face in the area 1 list, area 2 will filter out event videos and only keep those that contain this face.
Click on one of the events in area 2 to view the corresponding video.
On the “Family Moment” page, tap the “
” button in the upper right corner to enter the face management page, as shown below.
2. Enter from Discover When a device has a face recognized on the account, the [People] option on the [Discover] page will display the 3 most recently recognized faces, as shown below.
After clicking, you can also enter the management interface of the face list. In this interface, you can directly manage the faces recognized by all devices under your account.
Why can’t a face be recognized?
If your PRO device is unable to recognize a face after being bound to the Cloud Service, please try the following to troubleshoot the problem:
1. Make sure the device is bound to the Cloud Service and that the validity period hasn’t expired You can view the list of all cloud services under your account through [My] -> [My Cloud Service]. If the device is not bound to a Cloud Service, please select a Cloud Service with a validity period that hasn’t expired or subscribe to a new Cloud Service plan. Bind it to the device.
2. Make sure the face recognition is turned on
After you subscribe to a Cloud Service for your device, to protect user privacy, the device doesn’t enable face recognition by default. To enable it, go to the device’s [preferences/settings] “ ” -> “Facial recognition” and turn the “Facial recognition and detection” option on. Only when this option is turned on will the facial recognition function be officially enabled.
3. Try changing the location of the device a few times
a. Please make sure that the height of the face of the person to be recognized is located at angle no less than 15° down and no more than 15° up from the camera (see picture below), so that the camera can most effectively recognize a person’s facial features.
b. Please be centered, do not move too far to the left or to the right (no farther away than a 30° angle on each side).
c. Please make sure that the face to be identified is within 1 to 3 meters away from from the device, so that the features can be most effectively recognized.
Can I delete facial data?

How long can videos be stored on my SD card?
The storage space occupied by a video file is calculated as follows:
Video footprint = (video bit rate / 8) x time length.
For example, if a device takes videos at Full HD resolution (1920×1080 pixels), the highest bit rate of the video will be 1.5Mbps, and the space occupied by a continuously uninterrupted video recorded in one day will be:
Video occupied space = (1.5Mbps / 8) x 24 x 60 x 60 = 16200MB ≈ 15.8GB.
If you are using a 128GB SD card, the number of days of video data that can be stored will be: 128 / 15.8 ≈ 8.1 days.
This means that after 8.1 days, the earlier videos will start to be overwritten.
The same 128GB SD card can continuously record high-definition (bit rate of about 1Mbps) video for about 12.2 days, and can continuously record standard-definition (bit rate of about 512Kbps) video for about 24.3 days.
Please refer to the table below for more information on how long videos can be stored on the SD card
Please not that if the recording method of the SD card is set to event recording, the SD card will not be filled as fast as the table shows. Finally, please keep in mind that regardless of the resolution chosen, when the SD card storage space is used up, the newly recorded video will automatically overwrite the oldest video.
Time Needed (in days) to Fill SD cards of Different Sizes at Different Resolutions.

I have searched everywhere for help for my particular problem, and I can’t find any answers. I have four Dome Lite 2 camera’s in my home attached to my app. I am having issues with one of them turning itself off and losing cloud recordings. I have these settings set for it:
Device on/ off (switched on)
Record video to cloud (switched on)
NO device sharing enabled
Status light (switched on)
Microphone (switched on)
Time Watermark (switched on)
Motion tracking (switched off)
Randomly, it will shut itself off (it just did it again right now) and on the app it will say “The device is off and the lens is covered”. I have to manually go into that camera on the app and turn it back on to get it to come back. I don’t understand why it keeps doing it. I have went through multiple troubleshooting steps, like reinstalling app, unplugging and plugging back in, changing settings back and forth, etc. It still does it.
The other thing that is upsetting me is I’m missing chunks of recordings on the cloud that I watched previously but disappeared the next day. I have a monthly subscription set up, and currently, I am able to go back to Oct 3rd and see events happening in the house, but then from the 4th-8th, there’s nothing. And there was PLENTY of activity and motion, and I remember watching and reviewing them the morning of the 8th, and then later that night, they were completely gone. Yet stuff from the 3rd is still viewable. And some stuff from the 9th today is, too, but very little. I don’t understand why I can’t see what WAS there. I didn’t delete anything, I don’t have an SD card interfering with anything, and the setting are all switched on to be saving things to the cloud. I tried logging in on the website on my desktop, and the same thing there, too. I can’t see the videos I was able to see just a day ago.
Please help!
How do i change my time stamp? Daylight saving happened.
I manually turned off my Blurams camera and the green light turned on by itself after being off for severe hours. The camera lense was still in the covered position and the app shows the camera is off but I don’t understand why the green light was on. Does this mean someone is listening?
I just got a Blurams Outdoor Lite 2. I am trying to connect it via Wi-Fi. I have split my bands to 2.4G and 5G. I have 2 Blurams Dome 2 attached to the 2.4G network and they are working fine. I tried connecting the Outdoor Lite 2. It says:
“Wi-Fi connection successful, camera is trying to connect the server.”
The device has successfully connected to Wi-Fi and will try to request a connection to the server.
7. “Wi-Fi network error, the camera is having trouble connecting to the network, please try again later”
The device failed to connect to the server. Please check whether the Wi-Fi network can connect to the Internet normally.
My other cameras are running fine. I’ve reset the Router. I even took one of the Dome 2 cameras off and tried to add the Outdoor Lite 2 and still same error. I know the router has internet. I’m not sure, maybe my camera is broken? Antenna is firmly secured and power supply is good.
This may be a hardware or firmware problem, it is recommended to consult your camera seller.
