Troubleshooting

• No Wi-Fi Connection:
  Ensure your feeder is placed within range of a strong 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal. Check your router and app settings to confirm proper connection.

  If the camera stops working or fails to charge, first attempt a full recharge of the battery. If the issue persists, refer to the warranty and support section for assistance.
