7. Troubleshooting
- Camera Not Powering On: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the camera and a functional power source. Remember, the camera has no internal battery.
- Cannot Connect to Wi-Fi:
- Verify your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz, as the camera may not support 5GHz networks.
- Ensure the camera is within range of your Wi-Fi router.
- Restart your router and the camera, then attempt connection again.

- Poor Video Quality:
- Ensure your internet connection is stable and strong for remote viewing.
- Clean the camera lens for any smudges or dust.
