4. Maintenance

4.1 General Care

Keep the camera clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid exposing the camera to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or harsh chemicals.

To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the camera regularly, especially if it will be stored for an extended period. The built-in 3000mAh lithium battery provides 10-12 hours of video recording (1080P, night vision off).

4.3 Storage Management

Regularly transfer important files to a computer or external storage device. Format the memory card periodically to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Ensure all critical data is backed up before formatting.

5. Troubleshooting

• Camera not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the camera to the charger and try again. If the issue persists, contact support.
• Recording issues (e.g., freezing, poor quality): Check if the memory card is properly inserted and has sufficient free space. Try formatting the memory card (after backing up data). Ensure the camera's firmware is up to date.
• Cannot transfer files to computer/phone: Verify the Type-C cable connection. For phone transfer, ensure you have the correct USB-C to USB adapter and your Android phone supports OTG. Try a different USB port or cable.
• Short battery life: Ensure the camera is fully charged. Reduce video resolution or turn off features like night vision if not needed to conserve battery.
• Night vision not working: Check if night vision is enabled in the settings. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the IR lights.
