Troubleshooting
Camera not turning on
Ensure 4 AA batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Check that the battery compartment is securely closed.
No video being recorded
Verify that a compatible Micro SD card is inserted and formatted. Check that the capture interval and schedule settings are correctly configured and that the camera is set to record.
Poor image quality or blurry footage
Ensure the lens is clean and free from dust or smudges. Confirm the camera is securely mounted and not subject to excessive vibration. Check if HDR is enabled for challenging lighting.
Battery life is significantly shorter than advertised
Use high-quality alkaline or fully charged rechargeable AA batteries. Ensure the capture interval is not set too frequently (e.g., less than 1 minute) and that the camera is not operating in extreme temperatures.
Water ingress despite waterproof housing
Check that the housing's seals are clean and undamaged before closing. Ensure the housing is properly latched. The housing is water-resistant (IPX4), not fully waterproof; avoid submersion.
