Troubleshooting

1. Camera Not Connecting to 4G Network (Blue Light Not On)

• Ensure the SIM card is correctly inserted. Remove and reinsert it firmly.
• Check if the SIM card has active data. The included SIM card comes with 300MB trial data.
• Verify 4G LTE signal strength in the camera's location. Move the camera to an area with better signal if necessary.
• Perform a device reset. Refer to the quick start guide for the reset button location and procedure.
• If using your own SIM card, ensure it is compatible with 4G LTE networks and properly configured (APN settings may be required, refer to your SIM provider's instructions).

2. App Connection Issues

• Ensure your smartphone has a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data).
• Restart the UBox app.
• If the camera is offline, check its battery level and 4G connection.
