• Firmware Updates: Regularly check the app for available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.
• Lens Cleaning: Gently clean the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth to maintain clear image quality. Avoid abrasive materials.

7. Troubleshooting

• Camera Not Connecting/Pairing:
  • Ensure the SIM card has an active data plan and is correctly inserted.
  • Press and hold the reset button (located near the SIM card slot) for a few seconds until you hear a reset sound or see indicator lights change. Then attempt to re-pair.
  • Verify your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network during initial setup, as the device may not support 5GHz Wi-Fi.
• SIM Card Activation Issues (e.g., Verizon Network):
  • Some carriers (like Verizon) may require a valid IMEI code for SIM card activation. This code is typically found on the camera's motherboard, which may require removing screws to access. Contact your carrier for specific requirements.
  • If experiencing persistent issues with one carrier, consider trying a SIM card from another compatible carrier (e.g., AT&T or T-Mobile, if available in your area).
• Cloudy Night Vision:
  • Check for condensation or debris on the camera lens. Clean gently with a soft cloth.
  • Ensure the camera's internal components are not affected by moisture or extreme temperature changes.
• Battery Not Charging:
  • Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight.
  • Check the connection between the solar panel and the camera.
