3. How to add a camera to the app

Before you start:

Please insert the Micro-SD card before powering on, otherwise the SD card cannot be detected.

Place the camera and the smartphone 30–100 cm (1–3 feet) from the router to configure the Wi-Fi.

Make sure the camera uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi connection steps

Tap + to add a device.

Select Battery Camera.

Power on the camera. Press and hold the power button to start the camera, then place the camera near the router to obtain the best signal.

Reset the device if needed (press and hold the RESET button for 5 seconds; refer to the user manual for details).

CloudEdge app screens: enter the Wi-Fi password, scan the QR code, wait for the connection, device added

Enter the Wi-Fi password. Select a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and enter the password.

Scan the QR code. Hold the QR code on the phone in front of the camera lens at a distance of about 5–8 cm so the camera can scan it.

Wait for the connection to complete.

Device added.

If the camera cannot be turned on, please first plug in the DC 5V 2A power adapter to charge the camera for 15 minutes.

When connecting to Wi-Fi for the first time, please make sure that:

The Wi-Fi currently connected to the mobile phone is a 2.4 GHz network.
The current location has good Wi-Fi coverage and a stable network (Wi-Fi signal above 75%).
Avoid using Wi-Fi extenders.
Check whether the Wi-Fi password is entered correctly.

If the connection fails, it is necessary to clearly verify whether the Wi-Fi password is entered correctly. In rare cases of special network incompatibility, the app and camera may not connect correctly. In that case the camera is not compatible — please contact after-sale service ([email protected]).

4. Charge the battery

Charging the ieGeek battery camera with a 5V 2A wall adapter, with the ieGeek solar panel, and the charging indicator on the bottom

Charge the battery with a 5V 2A power adapter.
The battery is a built-in battery and cannot be removed.
Charge the battery with the ieGeek solar panel.

To better protect the camera from water, cover the dedicated charging port after charging — always with the rubber plug.

Blue LED	Fully charged

5. Installation guides

Installation diagram: mount the camera 2–3 meters above the ground; PIR detecting distance 2–10 meters; install at an angle for effective motion detection

Use the camera housing for better weather resistance when installing the camera outdoors.
Install the camera 2–3 meters (7–10 feet) above the ground. This height maximizes the range of the motion detector.
For effective motion detection, install the camera at an angle.

If a moving object approaches the PIR sensor vertically, the camera may not detect the movement.

Important notes on installation and charging

To extend the camera's lifespan, install it under the eaves to avoid direct exposure to rain.

When the camera is not charging, make sure to cover the power socket with the small and large rubber protectors to avoid humidity.

When charging, open the small rubber protector under the camera and use the dedicated charging port. If you do not see the charging status in the app, quit the app and relaunch the live video to check it.

6. PIR motion sensor notes

PIR sensor detection distance

The PIR detection settings can be customized according to your specific needs. You can refer to the following table to configure them in Device Settings in the CloudEdge app.

Sensitivity	Detection distance (for moving and living things)
Level 1–3 (Low)	Up to 2–5 meters
Level 4–7 (Medium)	Up to 5–8 meters
Level 8–10 (High)	Up to 8–10 meters

Important notes to reduce false alarms

Do not install the camera facing objects with bright lights, including the sun, bright lamps, etc.
Do not place the camera too close to a high-traffic area. In our many tests, the recommended distance between the camera and the vehicle is 16 meters (52 feet).
Do not place the camera near a power outlet, including air-conditioning vents, humidifier vents, or projector heat-transfer vents, etc.
Do not install the camera where there is strong wind.
Do not install the camera facing a mirror.
Keep the camera at least 1 meter away from any wireless device, including Wi-Fi routers and phones, to avoid wireless interference.

7. FAQs

For more detailed FAQs, please connect to the app: "My Account" → "FAQ" → "Battery Camera".

Fast power consumption?

In case of poor Wi-Fi coverage (for example, if the signal is below 75%), power consumption will increase.
The PIR trigger frequency is high, and power consumption will increase when the infrared light / white light is on at night.
The mobile phone often accesses the camera remotely, which increases power consumption.
For the first use, it is recommended to use the power down to 10%, then charge it to 100%, which is good for the health of the lithium battery.

Camera offline?

Confirm that the current location has good Wi-Fi coverage and that the network is stable; make sure the Wi-Fi signal is above 75%.
You can try using a third-party Wi-Fi analysis tool ("analyzer") to analyze the current coverage of the Wi-Fi signal and the state of interference. If the coverage is poor and interference is significant, it is recommended to change the camera's installation position, adjust the router position, or use a second-floor router.
Avoid using Wi-Fi extenders.

Update the password of your router or your Wi-Fi?

Remove the camera from your CloudEdge account, reset the device, then add it again using the new Wi-Fi or password.

The alarm is often triggered?

In the app, lower the sensitivity of the motion detection alarm.
Check whether there are objects in the camera's field of view that interfere with the PIR sensor and trigger it, such as outdoor air-conditioning units, moving cars, or passing pedestrians. You can adjust the angle of the camera to avoid these objects interfering easily.
Enable the "alarm only when people are present" option and use the humanoid algorithm to filter out unnecessary alarms.

The camera does not detect?

In case of an unstable network, the message may not be pushed in time after the PIR is triggered. In that case, first confirm the network status and remove the camera to verify it in an environment with good network coverage.
An inappropriate installation position will lead to the PIR not triggering and not detecting. If the position is too high, the object is too far, or the object is too small, the camera will not trigger; try to adjust the installation position according to the trigger requirements several times.

Micro-SD card not recognized?

The supported capacity is a 16–128 GB Micro-SD card.
Before use, make sure to format the Micro-SD card as FAT32 or exFAT on the computer, then insert it into the camera and finally perform the formatting operation of the memory card on the camera again.
If the Micro-SD card is not recognized during use, it is generally a Micro-SD card quality problem, and it is necessary to replace the memory card with one that reads and writes more stably.
