3. Setup

3.1 Initial Preparation

1. Charge the Camera: Before first use, fully charge the camera for approximately 8 hours using the provided USB cable.
2. Reset the Camera: Press and hold the reset button on the camera for more than 10 seconds. This ensures the camera is ready for pairing with the app.
3. Download the App: Download the dedicated smartphone application from your device's app store.

3.2 Network Connection

• The camera supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only. Ensure your smartphone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network during setup. If you have a 5GHz/2.4GHz dual-band router, select the 2.4GHz option.
• During setup, place the camera close to your Wi-Fi router (ideally 30-100 cm) to ensure a stable connection.
• If other 2.4GHz wireless devices are nearby, try to keep the camera's antennas at least 1 meter away from them to avoid interference.
• Follow the in-app instructions to add the camera. When scanning the QR code displayed on your phone, hold the camera lens 15-25 cm away from the phone screen. A voice prompt will confirm successful connection.

3.3 Installation

• The recommended installation height is 2.1 meters, with a camera tilt angle of approximately 15 degrees for optimal PIR detection. The PIR detection range is approximately 7 meters forward from the camera.
• The solar panel can be detached from the main unit and installed in a separate, sunnier location to maximize charging efficiency.
