⚠️ Note of Caution
Avoid using excessive force when adjusting the tightening mechanism.

3. Check Camera

a) Make sure the Headcam sits on your head at an angle that allows the camera to capture your entire face.

For optimal performance, the camera should be level with your nose tip and pointing horizontally at your face.
(It should not point up your nose.)
