5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the camera lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth to ensure clear image quality. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

• Power Supply: Ensure a stable power supply. For solar-powered models, keep the solar panel clean and free from obstructions to maximize charging efficiency.
• SD Card Management: If using an SD card, periodically review and back up important footage. The camera will overwrite older footage once the card is full.

6. Troubleshooting

• Camera Disconnected: If the camera frequently disconnects, ensure it is within range of your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi router and that the signal strength is adequate. Try repositioning the camera or router.
• Cannot Connect to Wi-Fi: Double-check your Wi-Fi password. Ensure your router is operating on a 2.4GHz frequency, as the camera does not support 5GHz networks. Perform a camera reset if necessary (hold the reset button for 5 seconds).
• SD Card Not Detected: Ensure the SD card is correctly inserted and formatted within the camera's settings via the app. If the issue persists, try a different compatible SD card.
• Poor Image Quality: Clean the camera lens. Ensure there are no obstructions in the camera's field of view. Check your internet connection speed for live streaming issues.
