Step 01

Charge fully first

Give every new device a full 3-hour charge over USB-C before first use. The LED turns solid when the cell is topped up.

Mains-powered models like the socket and charger cams skip this step entirely.

Insert and format the card

Use a Class 10 / U3 microSD card within the size listed on the product's spec table, then format it inside the device.

Quick fixes

Common setup snags

Message support

Pairing trouble?

Split your router bands or temporarily disable band steering, then retry pairing on the 2.4GHz SSID.

Card not detected?

Format the card as FAT32 or exFAT on a computer, then format again inside the device.

Short runtime?

Continuous WiFi streaming roughly halves battery life. Use motion-triggered mode for longer sessions.
