• USB Type-C Charging: For situations with insufficient sunlight (e.g., cold, rainy days, or prolonged indoor storage), use the provided USB Type-C cable to charge the camera. The charging port is located at the bottom of the license plate frame.
• Car Charger: The camera can also be charged using a car charger.

• Solar Panel: Keep the solar panel clean and free of dirt, snow, or debris to maximize charging efficiency.
• Battery Health: While the camera is designed for solar charging, if stored for long periods without sunlight, ensure to charge it via USB-C periodically to maintain battery health.
• Weather Protection: The camera is IP69K waterproof, but extreme temperatures outside the operating range (-22°F to 176°F) should be avoided if possible.
