- Important Notes:
1. Before using the camera for the first time, connect the
camera to a standard USB power adapter (5V1A or 5V2A)
using a USB cable to charge the battery for at least 6 hours.
2. Before using the camera for the first time, see Chapter 2
"Setting Up Camera and Connecting to WiFi" to set up the
camera".
3. WiFi performance of each camera has been tested before
delivery. However, the WiFi antenna may get impacted
during shipping. If you have any weak WiFi performance
problems on the camera you receive, please contact us for a
replacement.
5. In night vision mode, be careful not to have objects too
close to the lens, so as not to block the infrared rays or reflect
the infrared rays to the lens. Blocking or reflecting IR can
severely degrade night vision image quality.
6. This mini camera uses external surfaces for heat
dissipation. So if the camera is warm during running, it is
not a cause for concern. The surface material is heat resistant
up to 248°F, it is safe for running with warm. In addition, the
material used is flame retardant.
