Real-Time Viewing and Sharing

Maintenance

Battery Management

Regularly check the battery level indicators on the camera or within the Stealth Command Pro app. Replace all 8 AA batteries when they are low to ensure continuous operation. Using high-quality alkaline or lithium batteries is recommended for extended performance.

SD Card Management

Periodically check the SD card for available storage space. Transfer important images and videos to another device and delete unnecessary files to free up space. Formatting the SD card regularly (via the camera or a computer) can help maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption.

Cleaning

To ensure clear image capture and proper sensor function, gently clean the camera lens and motion sensors with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or chemical cleaners that could damage the surfaces.

Troubleshooting

• Camera Not Transmitting Images:
  Check the cellular signal strength indicator in the Stealth Command Pro app. Ensure batteries are sufficiently charged and the SD card has available space. Verify that your data plan is active.
• Blurry Images:
  Clean the camera lens with a soft cloth. Ensure the camera is securely mounted and not subject to movement. Check the focus type setting if applicable (this model features auto-focus).
• Inconsistent Motion Detection:
  Verify the camera's placement and ensure no branches, tall grass, or other obstructions are blocking the motion sensor's field of view. Adjust the camera's sensitivity settings if available.
• App Connectivity Issues:
  Ensure your mobile device has an active internet connection. Update the Stealth Command Pro app to the latest version. Restart both your mobile device and the camera.
