How-to and best practice

How can I share a device or complete smart home with other users ?

Sharing one product or multiple products is easy. But know that all users must be registered within the app (users must have downloaded the app, and created an own unique account).

  • You can easily share one product with one or more users, when accessing the device settings. From there fill in the email and country code of the designated user. He (or she) will receive a notification that a device is shared. The will see the device on the bottom of the device list in their app. Note that this user has limited operating capabillities. He (or she) cannot create scenes or automations, but turning a device on or off is perfectly possible. 
  • On the other hand, sharing an entire smart setup is also possible. Share your entire home setup through your personal home profile. Share with one or more users and give them full (or limited) rights. 

If this short description is not sufficient, check our detailed instruction on sharing one or multiple devices.

How to connect my camera to Google Assistant

Connect your Qnect Home camera to Google Home for hands-free voice control. View your camera live feed on a third party screen or casting device (Google or Amazon)

Note : This feature is pre-activated for all camera products except for our basic indoor camera (QN-IPC01). We must enable this feature for you, when receiving your Device ID.

Simply fill in the activation form and we'll activate the feature for you. Go to the activation form, choose IPC-01 and select "How to connect to my Google Ecosystem". Fill in your device UUID in the form. 

Connecting the camera to your Google account  can be set in two ways :

  2. From the Google Home app : Open the Google Assistant app on your device and go to your ‘Home Control’. Tap the ‘+’ icon in the top left corner. Search for the Qnect Home service. Log in with your account and tap ‘Authorize’ to connect with the Google Assistant. In the home control menu, you can now see the devices that are available for voice control through Google Assistant.

How long is the delay when someone rings the doorbell, receive notifications, pick up and respond?

This is highly dependent on the network in which the doorbell and the phone are connected to. The better the signal to the WiFi router, the faster the image appears on the phone. In practice, it takes about 3 seconds from ringing the doorbell to opening the video stream. In most cases this is still faster than getting up from the couch and walk to the front door to open it. For the person who rings the doorbell it will not take “too long”. Notifications you will receive almost instantly on your phone.

Can someone do someting with a qnect camera after it has been stolen?

If the camera is stolen, the thief can’t do anything with it. The camera is linked (in the cloud) to the person who added the device to the Qnect Home app. When someone resets the camera and attempts to add the device to the Qnect Home app a notification will appear that the camera is already linked and must first be disconnected by the original owner.

The thief can contact us and request to disconnect the product from the original owner, but in this case we have his contacts and if necessary we can take steps to return the Smart Indoor Camera to the original owner. Note that for every unbinding request we always ask a purchase receipt.
