7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the device. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• SD Card Management: It is recommended to format the Micro SD card periodically (e.g., once a month) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up important recordings before formatting.
• Storage: When not in use, store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

8. Troubleshooting

• Device not recording:
  • Ensure the device is securely plugged into a live power outlet.
  • Verify that a Micro SD card is properly inserted.
  • Check if the Micro SD card is full. If so, the loop recording should overwrite old files, but formatting might be necessary if issues persist.
  • Ensure the Micro SD card is Class 10 speed and not larger than 64 GB.
• Poor video quality:
  • Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from dust or smudges.
  • Avoid placing the camera in areas with extreme backlighting or low light conditions.
