If the battery level is consistently low, consider temporarily switching to motion-activated recording or providing supplementary power via the USB-C port.
- Firmware Updates: Check the WESECUU app periodically for firmware updates. Keeping your camera's firmware up-to-date ensures optimal performance, security, and access to new features.
- Weather Resistance: The IP66 rating protects the camera from dust and water jets. However, avoid submerging the camera in water or exposing it to high-pressure water streams.
