Additional Requirements:

  • Storage: Continuous Recording requires HomeBase 3 equipped with a hard drive to store video footage.

  • Power Supply:

    • The camera includes a 1.2-meter USB Type-C power cable.

    • For extended reach, you can use the 3-meter solar panel extension cable (maximum total length: 4.2 meters).

  • USB Power Adapter: A 5V/2A adapter is required. Please be aware that one is not included and must be purchased separately.
