Preparation Before Setting Up eufy SoloCam
1. Make sure the SoloCam has power or has been fully charged. If not, please use the provided Micro-USB charging cable to charge the camera via a 9V/2A, 5V/2A, or 5V/1A USB charger. It usually takes about 4 to 5 hours to fully charge SoloCam Solo/Pro from 0% to 100%, and 8 to 10 hours to fully charge SoloCam Spotlight/Solar. The LED indicator light will turn off once the camera is fully charged.
2. Please remove the plastic film on the camera.
3. Make sure your smartphone is connected to the same 2.4GHz WiFi network that the eufy SoloCam will connect to.
Note: The WiFi name displayed on your smartphone's WiFi settings should be the same as the WiFi of your router.
