3. Setup and Installation
3.1 SIM Card and Memory Card Insertion
Your camera comes with a pre-installed 128GB memory card and a SIM card. If not pre-installed, locate the card slots on the camera body, typically protected by a rubber seal. Insert the SIM card and memory card as indicated by the diagrams or markings near the slots. Ensure the rubber seal is securely closed after insertion to maintain the IP65 waterproof rating.
3.2 Charging the Camera
Before initial use, fully charge the camera's built-in battery using the provided USB charging cable. Connect the cable to the camera's charging port and a standard USB power adapter (not included). The charging indicator light will show the charging status.
3.3 App Download and Account Registration
Download the UBox app from your smartphone's app store (iOS App Store or Google Play Store). Follow the on-screen instructions to register a new account or log in if you already have one.
3.4 Camera Pairing with App
- Open the UBox app and tap 'Add Device' or the '+' icon.
- Select '4G Camera' or the appropriate device type.
- Follow the app's instructions to power on the camera. The camera will enter pairing mode, indicated by a specific light pattern or voice prompt.
- Scan the QR code on the camera (if prompted) or manually enter the device ID.
- Once connected, you can name your camera and configure initial settings.
3.5 Mounting the Camera
The camera supports two mounting methods: integrated solar panel mounting or separate solar panel mounting. Choose the method that best suits your installation environment to ensure optimal sunlight exposure for the solar panel.
- Integrated Mounting: Attach the solar panel directly to the camera body. This is suitable for locations where the camera itself can be positioned to receive ample sunlight.
- Separate Mounting: Use the 9.8ft extension cord to mount the solar panel in a location with maximum sunlight, independent of the camera's position. This is ideal for shaded camera locations.
Use the provided mounting bracket and screws to securely attach the camera to a wall or pole. Ensure the camera has a clear line of sight to the area you wish to monitor.

4.2 Color Night Vision
The camera features color night vision, providing high-definition images with rich colors even in low-light conditions. When motion is detected at night, the built-in spotlight can activate to illuminate the area, enabling full-color recording. You can configure this setting within the UBox app.
