6. Troubleshooting
- Camera Not Connecting to Network: Ensure the camera is powered on and the built-in 4G SIM card has an active data subscription. Verify that you are in an area with 4G LTE coverage from Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T. Remember, this camera does not support Wi-Fi connections or private SIM cards.

- False Motion Alerts: Adjust the motion detection sensitivity settings within the Ubox app. You can also define custom detection zones to exclude areas where frequent, non-threatening movement occurs (e.g., public pathways, swaying trees).
- Two-Way Audio Issues: Check your smartphone's microphone and speaker settings. Ensure the camera's microphone and speaker are not obstructed. Verify volume levels in the Ubox app.
