7. User Tips

• There is no limitation on the number of devices you can add to a single Imou account.
• Each device can be shared with up to 20 other Imou accounts, allowing family and friends to view footage without modifying settings.
• When selecting a Micro SD card, consider the resolution: a 64GB card can store approximately 6.5 days of 2MP footage or 3 days of 4MP footage. The camera automatically overwrites older footage when storage is full.
• Regularly check the Imou Life app for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and access to the latest features.

8. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the camera lens and body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Firmware Updates: Regularly check for and install firmware updates via the Imou Life app to ensure your camera has the latest features and security patches.
• Power Supply: Use only the provided power adapter or a compatible replacement to prevent damage.
• Environmental Protection: While IP66 rated, avoid directing high-pressure water jets directly at the camera. Ensure proper installation to prevent water accumulation around connections.
• Storage: If using a Micro SD card, ensure it is a high-quality card suitable for continuous recording. Periodically check the card's health and format it if necessary (this will erase all data).
