• Battery Check: Monitor battery levels frequently, especially before deploying the camera for extended periods. Replace batteries when low to ensure continuous operation.
• SD Card Management: Format the SD card periodically to prevent data corruption and ensure optimal performance. Back up important files before formatting.
• Waterproof Seal: Ensure the camera's housing is securely latched and the rubber seals are free from dirt or damage to maintain its IP68 waterproof rating.

Troubleshooting

Camera not turning on:

Check battery installation and ensure batteries are fully charged. Verify the power switch is in the 'ON' position. If using external power, ensure the adapter is correctly connected and functional.

Poor image/video quality:

Clean the camera lens. Ensure the camera is set to the desired resolution (e.g., 64MP for photos, 1080P for video). Check for obstructions in front of the lens or IR sensors. Adjust camera placement for optimal lighting.

Camera not detecting motion:

Ensure the PIR sensor is clear of obstructions. Adjust the camera's sensitivity settings in the menu. Position the camera to avoid direct sunlight or heat sources that might cause false triggers or reduce detection effectiveness.

SD card error:

Ensure the SD card is properly inserted. Try formatting the SD card through the camera's menu (this will erase all data). If the issue persists, try a different compatible SD card (up to 64GB Max, Class 10 or higher).

User Tips

• Optimal Placement: For best results, mount the camera approximately 3-6 feet (1-2 meters) off the ground, facing north or south to avoid direct sunlight interference. Clear any branches or tall grass in front of the camera that might trigger false detections.
• Battery Life: To maximize battery life, consider using high-quality alkaline or lithium batteries. For permanent installations, an external 6V 2A power supply is recommended.
• SD Card Capacity: While the camera supports up to 64GB, using a smaller card (e.g., 32GB) and regularly offloading data can help prevent data loss and ensure smooth operation.
• Test Run: After setup, perform a short test run to ensure the camera is capturing images/videos as expected and the detection zone is correctly aligned.
