Setup Guide

1. SIM Card Installation

Your ANRAN 4G LTE camera requires a 4G LTE SIM card for network connectivity. A SIM card with 100MB of mobile data is included with your camera. It is crucial to use the provided SIM card or a compatible 4G LTE SIM card from supported carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc.) in the USA.

1. Locate the SIM card slot on your camera. This is typically protected by a rubber cover to ensure weather resistance.
2. Carefully open the cover and insert the provided 4G LTE SIM card into the slot with the gold contacts facing down and the notched corner aligned correctly.
3. Ensure the SIM card is fully seated. Close the rubber cover firmly to maintain the camera's IP65 weather resistance.

2. Solar Panel Connection

Connect the solar panel cable to the charging port on the camera. Ensure the connection is secure and the waterproof cap is properly sealed to prevent water ingress.

3. Camera Mounting

Choose a suitable outdoor location for mounting the camera. Ensure the solar panel receives adequate direct sunlight throughout the day for optimal charging. Use the provided mounting bracket and screws to securely attach the camera and solar panel to a wall or pole. Adjust the angle of the solar panel to maximize sun exposure.

4. App Installation and Pairing

Download the ANRAN or CloudEdge app from your smartphone's app store (iOS or Android). Follow the in-app instructions to create an account and add your new camera. This typically involves scanning a QR code on the camera or manually entering its device ID.

Maintenance

1. Battery Management

The camera's built-in battery is continuously charged by the solar panel. Ensure the solar panel remains clean and unobstructed to maximize charging efficiency. In periods of prolonged low sunlight, the battery level may decrease. The app will notify you of low battery status.

2. Cleaning

Periodically clean the camera lens and the surface of the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the surfaces.

3. Weather Resistance

The camera is rated IP65 for weather resistance, meaning it is protected against dust and water jets. While designed for outdoor use, ensure all covers and seals are properly closed after any access (e.g., SIM card insertion) to maintain its weatherproofing.
