Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera body. For the lens, use a specialized lens cleaning cloth and solution. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the camera in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the Micro SD card if storing for extended periods.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the camera periodically if not used for a long time.

Troubleshooting

• Wi-Fi connection issues: Ensure the camera's Wi-Fi is activated. Restart both the camera and your smartphone. Verify you are connecting to the correct Wi-Fi network.
• Poor video quality: Ensure the lens is clean. Check that the camera is set to 1080P recording resolution in the app settings.
