Setup Guide

1. SIM Card Installation

The camera requires a 4G data-only SIM card for operation. It is compatible with 5G SIM cards but will only utilize 4G signals. We recommend the Prepaid AT&T 35 RTR DATA/6221A Plan for prepaid data-only SIM cards.

  2. Insert the activated 4G data-only SIM card into the slot, ensuring correct orientation.
  3. Close the SIM card slot cover securely to maintain weatherproofing.

2. Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge the camera's internal battery using the provided charging cable. A full charge ensures optimal performance and battery life.

3. App Download and Device Pairing

  1. Download the "eufy Security" app from your smartphone's app store (iOS or Android).
  2. Open the app and create an account or log in.
  3. Follow the in-app instructions to add your 4G LTE Starlight Camera. This typically involves scanning a QR code on the camera and connecting it to the app.

Instant notifications keep you informed of any detected activity.

Data Usage Estimation

Actual data usage varies based on activity. As a reference, approximately 500 MB/month can be expected with 10 live views per day (10 seconds each) and 25 motion recordings per day (10 seconds each).

Maintenance

Battery Management

The camera's battery life can last up to 3 months on standby. For continuous power, especially in remote locations, the eufy Solar Panel Charger (sold separately) is highly recommended.

  • Ensure the solar panel receives a few hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal charging.
  • In cloudy climates, one sunny day can charge the camera for approximately three days of operation.

Cleaning

Troubleshooting

Camera Offline / No Connection

  • Check SIM Card: Ensure the SIM card is correctly inserted, activated, and has an active data plan.

  • Reboot Camera: Try restarting the camera by powering it off and on.
  • App Status: Check the eufy Security app for any error messages or status indicators.

Poor Image Quality

  • Clean Lens: Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from dirt, dust, or smudges.
  • Lighting Conditions: While the camera has Starlight Night Vision, extreme low light or direct bright lights can affect image clarity.
  • Resolution Settings: Verify that the video resolution is set to 2K HD in the app settings.

Battery Drains Quickly

  • Frequent Live View: Excessive use of live view will consume more battery.
  • High Motion Activity: A high number of motion events and recordings will reduce battery life. Adjust motion sensitivity and detection zones.
