Replacement guidance
- Match camera generation (Outdoor 4, 2K+, XT, etc.) before ordering mounts or batteries.
- Remove failed device in app before adding replacement — serial numbers do not transfer.
- Document system name and placement in app for service handoff.
- Re-test Live View and motion after any swap.
