Before initial use, fully charge the camera's built-in 15600mAh battery using the provided USB Type-C cable and a 5V/2A power adapter (not included). The solar panel will maintain the charge once installed, but a full initial charge is recommended.

3.2 Installing a TF Card (Optional)

If you plan to use local storage, insert a TF (microSD) card (up to 128GB, Class 10 or higher recommended) into the TF card slot. Ensure the camera is powered off before inserting or removing the card.

3.3 Mounting the Camera

The camera supports both wall and ceiling mounting. Choose a location with optimal sunlight exposure for the solar panel and a strong 2.4GHz WiFi signal. Use the provided screws and wall plugs to securely attach the camera bracket. Adjust the camera angle for the desired viewing area.

3.4 App Installation and WiFi Connection

1. Download the official GENBOLT app from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store.
2. Register an account and log in.
3. Tap 'Add Device' or the '+' icon and select your camera model.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the camera to your 2.4GHz WiFi network. This typically involves scanning a QR code displayed on your phone with the camera lens.
5. Ensure your phone's location services are enabled during setup for proper network detection.

Note: The camera does not support 5GHz WiFi networks. If you encounter issues, ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz signal and that your phone is connected to it during the setup process. Some users have reported difficulties with initial wired LAN connection instructions in the manual; this camera primarily uses wireless setup.
