How do I test after installation?
Run Live View and a motion walk test at the final mount location; confirm clips in app or local storage if enabled.
Can I mix old XT cameras with Outdoor 4?
Often on the same Sync Module but mounts, batteries, and accessories are not interchangeable — match replacement SKUs to label.
