IMPORTANT NOTE

About Batteries

  • Require eight (8) 1.5V AA Alkaline or 1.5V Lithium batteries.
  • We recommend the use of Energizer AA Lithium batteries in this camera to obtain maximum battery life.
  • Do not mix old and new batteries.
  • Do not mix battery type.
  • Rechargeable NiMH AA batteries can be used, but are NOT recommended as the lower voltage (generally 1.2V) they produce can cause night recording issues, and you also may have to replace them frequently.
  • Remove batteries when the camera is NOT in use.

About SD Card

  • Require a standard-size micro SDXC/SDHC memory card (max capacity 128GB, Class 10).
  • Before use, please format your SD card in the camera in case your SD card may not work with your camera.
  • Please gently remove the protective films on the front of the camera to get the best performance, especially the protective films attached to the PIR motion sensor may cause promotion detection performance, even no capture.

About APP 4G Connection
To get better performance, the camera must be installed in the range of 4G signal coverage, such as poor signal will lead to the failure to transfer image files, or the machine will increase power consumption due to prolonged connection time.
Note: Check the signal strength through the camera interface.
