Very Important Tips
- If you need to install or replace the TF card, please make sure to insert it while the camera is turned off.
- This camera has a built-in SIM card, so there is no need to insert an additional SIM card (Not supported with your own SIM card).
- If you need to change to another SD card, you must replace it only when the camera is powered off. Then restart the camera and add it with the App.
- Please charge your camera before setting up. It usually takes 10-13 hours to fully charge. Then install the solar panel to the location with direct sunlight. The solar panel needs at least 3 hours of direct sunlight per day to charge the camera, and the more the better.
- To avoid PIR false alarms, we recommend installing the camera to keep the camera's lens away from lamplight, grass, or tree leaves.
