Yes, if you insert a memory card or purchase iCloud service through the app, it will provide local storage for saving, viewing, and playing back photos and videos.

The battery can be charged indoors via USB. Alternatively, you can connect the included charging cable to the solar panel for continuous charging during daylight hours. Choose the method best suited to your weather conditions.

7. Why are there no saved videos, even after I inserted a memory card or purchased Cloud storage?

Adjust the recording settings within the app after inserting the memory card or purchasing cloud service. The camera will then automatically record videos when motion is detected.

8. Why did my device misidentify a bird?

Accuracy depends on the angle and clarity of the bird's picture. Ensure the picture is clear, identifying features (head, tail, wings, feathers) are not obstructed, and the bird is centrally positioned. If multiple bird species are present, the result will be based on the bird in the main position. See the provided image for the optimum photo angle.
