Setup Guide
1. Initial Charging
Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the camera's built-in battery using the provided Micro USB cable. Connect the cable to a standard USB power adapter (not included).
2. App Download and Account Registration
Download the "CloudEdge" app from your smartphone's app store (iOS or Android). Follow the in-app instructions to register a new account or log in if you already have one.
3. Wi-Fi Connection (2.4GHz Only)
The camera connects to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Ensure your router is configured to broadcast a 2.4GHz signal. If you have a dual-band router, you may need to separate the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks or temporarily disable the 5GHz band during setup.

5. Mounting the Camera
Choose a suitable outdoor location for optimal solar exposure and camera coverage. Use the provided mounting bracket and screws to securely attach the camera to a wall or other stable surface. Ensure the solar panel is positioned to receive direct sunlight.
