2.1 Powering the Camera

The ULar Wi-Fi Mini Camera does not contain an internal battery. It requires continuous power to operate. Connect the camera using the provided USB cable to a USB power adapter (not included) or a power bank.

2.2 Inserting a Micro SD Card

For video recording and storage, a Micro SD card (not included) is required. The camera supports up to a 128GB Micro SD card. Locate the SD card slot on the camera and gently insert the card until it clicks into place. Ensure the card is inserted in the correct orientation.

To enable real-time viewing and access camera settings, connect the camera to your smartphone or tablet via a dedicated application.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Real-Time Viewing

Once the camera is connected to your Wi-Fi network and linked to the mobile app, you can access the live video feed from anywhere with an internet connection. Open the app and select your camera to view the real-time footage.

3.2 Recording

The camera records video to the inserted Micro SD card. Recording modes (e.g., continuous, motion-activated) can typically be configured within the mobile application. Please note that this camera does not support audio recording.

3.3 DIY Integration

The mini lens design allows for integration into various objects for discreet placement. Ensure the lens has an unobstructed view of the area you wish to monitor. Common placements include toys, bags, flower pots, or photo frames.

4. Motion Detection

The camera features built-in motion detection technology. When motion is detected within the camera's field of view, it can trigger recording and send instant push alerts to your connected mobile device. This feature is useful for security monitoring.

4.1 Configuring Motion Detection

Motion detection settings, including sensitivity and alert preferences, can be adjusted within the mobile application. Refer to the app's specific instructions for detailed configuration steps.

5. Loop Recording

The camera supports loop recording, which means that when the Micro SD card is full, the camera will automatically overwrite the oldest video files with new ones. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention to clear storage space.

5.1 Enabling Loop Recording

Loop recording is typically enabled by default or can be configured within the camera's settings in the mobile application. Ensure a Micro SD card is inserted for this feature to function.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

To clean the camera lens and body, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the camera components.

6.2 Storage

When not in use, store the camera in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the Micro SD card if the camera will be stored for an extended period.

6.3 Firmware Updates

Periodically check the mobile application for any available firmware updates for your camera. Keeping the firmware updated ensures optimal performance and access to new features.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ULar Wi-Fi Mini Camera, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Camera Not Powering On: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the camera and a working USB power source. Verify the power adapter or power bank is functional.
• "Device is Offline" Error:
  1. Check your Wi-Fi router to ensure it is powered on and broadcasting a signal.
  2. Verify the camera is within range of your Wi-Fi network.
  3. Restart the camera by unplugging and re-plugging the USB power cable.
  4. Restart your mobile application.
  5. If the issue persists, try re-pairing the camera with the app and Wi-Fi network according to the initial setup instructions.
• No Recording to SD Card:
  1. Ensure a Micro SD card is properly inserted into the camera.
  2. Verify the SD card is not full (though loop recording should manage this).
  3. Format the SD card through the camera's app settings (this will erase all data on the card).
  4. Try a different Micro SD card to rule out card malfunction.
• Poor Video Quality: Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions. Check your Wi-Fi signal strength, as a weak signal can affect streaming quality.
