Setup
- Initial Charging: Before first use, fully charge the camera's internal battery using the provided charging cable. This ensures the camera has sufficient power to begin operation, especially if solar charging is limited initially.
- SIM Card & MicroSD Card Installation: The camera comes with a built-in SIM card. Ensure it is activated according to the instructions provided with the camera. If using local storage, insert a MicroSD card (up to 128GB, not included) into the designated slot.
- App Download and Account Creation: Download the "iCam365" app from your smartphone's app store (Android or iOS). Follow the in-app instructions to create an account and register your camera.
- Camera Pairing: Power on the camera. Open the iCam365 app and follow the prompts to add your new device. This typically involves scanning a QR code on the camera or packaging.
- Mounting the Camera and Solar Panel: Choose a location that provides optimal sunlight exposure for the solar panel and a clear view for the camera. Use the included installation accessories to securely mount both units. Ensure the solar panel is angled to receive maximum direct sunlight throughout the day.

Operating Instructions
- Live View and Pan/Tilt Control: Open the iCam365 app. Select your camera to access the live video feed. Use the on-screen controls to remotely pan (355°) and tilt (90°) the camera lens to adjust your viewing angle.
- Two-Way Audio: While in live view, tap the microphone icon in the app to speak through the camera's speaker. Tap the speaker icon to listen to audio from the camera's location.
- Motion Detection and Alerts: The camera's PIR motion sensor detects movement. When motion is detected, the camera will record video and send instant notifications to your smartphone via the iCam365 app. Sensitivity settings can be adjusted in the app to minimize false alarms.
- Night Vision Modes: The camera automatically switches to night vision in low light. It supports both color night vision and infrared night vision for clear visibility in the dark.
- Video Recording and Playback: Recorded videos are saved to the installed MicroSD card or to the cloud (subscription may be required). Access and playback recorded footage directly through the iCam365 app.

Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No 4G Signal | Poor cellular coverage in the area. | Relocate the camera to an area with better 4G signal strength. Check with your cellular provider for coverage maps. |
| Battery Drains Quickly | Insufficient sunlight for solar panel; excessive motion detection; frequent live view access. | Ensure solar panel is clean and optimally angled towards the sun. Adjust motion detection sensitivity. Limit frequent live view access. Manually charge if needed. |
| False Motion Alarms | High sensitivity settings; environmental factors (e.g., moving branches, insects). | Adjust PIR motion detection sensitivity in the iCam365 app. Ensure the camera is not pointed at areas with constant, non-threatening movement. |
| Unable to Connect to App | Incorrect pairing process; app or camera firmware outdated; poor 4G signal. | Repeat the pairing process. Ensure the app and camera firmware are updated. Verify 4G signal strength. |
