Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BoyKeep K30 camera, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and body. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as they may damage the surface or lens.
• Placement: Place the camera in a stable location, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive moisture. Ensure it is out of reach of pets or small children if not securely mounted.
• Software Updates: Regularly check the BoyKeep app for firmware updates. Keeping your camera's software up-to-date ensures you have the latest features and security enhancements.
• Power Supply: Always use the original power adapter and USB cable provided with the camera to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BoyKeep K30 camera, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Camera Offline:
  • Check if the camera is properly powered on and the power adapter is securely connected.
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi network is active and stable.
  • Restart the camera by unplugging and re-plugging it.
  • If the issue persists, try resetting the camera (locate the reset button, usually near the SD card slot, and press and hold for 5-10 seconds until the indicator light changes). Then, re-pair the camera with the app.

• Motion Detection Not Working:
  • Verify that motion detection is enabled in the app settings.
  • Adjust the motion detection sensitivity.
  • Ensure the camera's field of view covers the area you wish to monitor.
