Wi-Fi Requirements Niro requires a 2.4GHz or 5GHz router (802.11bg/n) for Wi-Fi connectivity. This is a standard home Wi-Fi router. You will need your Wi-Fi name and password when pairing your mobile device and GDC. Note: If you are using a 2.4GHz + 5 GHz dual band router, create separate SSID names for each band on your Wi-Fi router settings page. This will make it easier for you to select the 2.4GHz band for the device setup.

Niro Installation Before installing Niro to your garage door opener, make sure you prepare the following: A screwdriver (if needed) A stepladder An open outlet near your setup location Reliable Wi-Fi network A compatible mobile device All items included in the box Compatible garage door opener WARNING Mounting and connecting Niro may require another person’s help as you will most likely need to use a stepladder to setup the device.
Step 1: Mount Niro Niro should be set up properly so that it’s hanging from the bottom of your garage door opener unit. IMPORTANT: Make sure to first clean the area you’ll be mounting the camera, and be sure to dry off the area before applying the adhesive sticker.
Step 2: Connect Wires to the Garage Opener Unplug your garage opener. This is to prevent your garage door from involuntarily opening/closing during the next few steps. Locate your garage wall remote console. You should see some wires that come out of it that lead all the way to terminals on the back of your garage opener. Note: It is very important that you choose the correct wires in the garage opener’s terminals. If you’re unsure, refer to your garage opener’s owner’s manual for clarification.
Most garage opener connection ports will look like the images below. From Wall Remote Console For this type of terminal, use a flat head screwdriver or a similar tool to press the tab to release the wires from the terminals as shown above. From Wall Remote Console For a screw type terminal, use a philips screwdriver to loosen the screws.
Before After Connect the provided wires from Niro’s box into the same wire terminals as your wall remote console. The process may vary between different garage opener models. Notes: Twisting the wires together for each terminal will help for a better connection, however make sure the wall console wires go back into their original terminals. The provided wires for Niro are neutral, so it doesn’t matter which wire goes into which terminal.
Step 3: Connect Wires to Niro Connect the other end of the provided wires to the first two terminals on the back of Niro. Use a flat head screwdriver to press down the tabs to Garage 2 Garage 1 release the terminals. Note: Niro is capable of being connected to two garage door openers. If you have a second garage door opener you want to connect to Niro, follow the same process as the first and connect the wires to the 3rd and 4th terminals on the back of the Niro device.
Step 4: Test the Controls Plug back in your garage opener and open the Momentum App. Select the blue Garage tile to access the garage door control screen. In this screen, you will get a live view of the state of your garage. Tap the blue button at the bottom to control the state of your garage door.

Setting up Rules Your Niro camera will record video when rules have been set through the Momentum App. Rules allow your device to activate and monitor your garage space while you are not watching the live stream. Set triggers to have your Niro activate under certain conditions. Note: You must have a Momentum Capture Cloud Storage subscription or a micro-SD card to record videos and photos. Triggers You can set a trigger for Niro to have it start automatically recording after detection motion.

If you’d like to stop receiving alerts, you must delete the Rule or you can turn it off from your mobile device’s notification settings for the Momentum App. You may also view all of your previous alerts by tapping the Activity tile on your Dashboard.
Storage Options Niro can save your recorded videos or pictures through the Momentum Capture Cloud Storage subscription plan or with your own micro-SD card inserted into the device.

Micro-SD Card Storage If you’d prefer not to use a cloud based storage subscription plan, you can opt to use your own micro-SD card (up to 128GB) instead. Insert the micro-SD card into Niro’s micro-SD slot on the side of the camera. Then go into camera settings page in the app and tap ‘Format Card’ at the bottom of the screen. The app will automatically record events and camera photos you take directly into the micro-SD card.
