1. "The battery doesn't last"
The seller doesn't publish a battery runtime. Mini cameras with motion detection and night vision use a lot of power. Fix: for a spot you want watched all the time (front door, pet area), keep it plugged into USB – the seller says it runs while plugged in.
2. "I can't connect it to Wi-Fi"
It needs Wi-Fi and the app for live view and alerts. Set it up close to your router first, then move it. If your router has separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, try the 2.4 GHz one – many small cameras only use that band. Full setup guide →
3. "It didn't record anything"
Recording goes to a micro SD card in the camera. Check whether a card is included with your order and what size it takes – the seller doesn't state either – and have one ready.
4. "Nobody was alerted when something happened"
Guardian Monitor is a camera, not a monitored alarm. The seller says plainly it doesn't contact emergency services. It sends alerts to your phone – you decide what to do.
5. "The 70% off countdown rushed me"
The countdown appears to reset. Decide on the spec and the 30-day guarantee, not the timer.
6. "How do I get a refund?"
- Find your order number in the confirmation email.
- Follow the returns page linked from the official store (hosted on spark-tek.co).
- Start the return within 30 days and keep the packaging.
