  4. Insert the other end of the micro USB charging cable into a USB wall charger such as the USB power adapter for your smartphone.
  5. The LED indicator on the front of the camera will turn solid blue indicating that the camera is charging. When the camera is fully charged, the LED indicator will turn off. Actual charging times may vary depending on the USB power supply [DC5V 2.1A is recommended for faster charging] and the remaining battery level. A full charge may take up to 6 hours.
  6. After charging is finished, unplug the micro USB charging cable from the camera and make sure to close the rubber cap tightly to keep out water and dust.

Replacing the microSD card

CAMERA PLACEMENT

The camera can be conveniently placed on a table or shelf. or mounted on a flat surface using the included bracket. Because the camera is completely wire-free, you’ll have a lot of flexibility on where you can install it. Choose a location with strong. reliable Wi-Fi reception to ensure best video streaming and battery performance. The easiest way to check is to use your smartphone. Connect your smartphone to your Wi-Fi network at the spot you have chosen and see if you get 2 bars of Wi-Fi signal or more. As a general rule, the nearer the camera is to your router, the better the wireless connection quality. If you’re finding the wireless signal is too weak or out of range, consider installing a Wi-Fi range extender.
