• Firmware Updates: Check the mobile app or manufacturer's website for available firmware updates. Keeping your system updated ensures optimal performance and security.
• Battery Health: While solar-powered, the internal batteries benefit from consistent charging. Ensure solar panels are optimally positioned. If the camera is frequently in shaded areas, occasional manual charging may be necessary.
