Thank you for using the GardePro Trail Camera Link 1.0 (R3 Pro + Hub).

Some customers may experience an issue where the camera cannot connect to the internet after pairing with the Hub. This happens when the home router uses a non-192.x.x.x IP network segment.

We have released a firmware update (V9.2.138) that fully supports all network segments.

Because your camera is currently unable to go online, the OTA update cannot be applied.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience - the update must be installed manually using an SD card. Please follow the steps below to update your camera.

Before You Start

If your R3 Pro is already paired with the Hub and added in the app, please remove it from the app first.

If it has never been paired before, you can skip this step.

How to Remove the Camera from the App

1. In the GardePro Mobile App, go to My Cameras.

2. Tap your camera → enter the Status page.

3. Tap the More button in the Status bar.

4. Select Remove Camera.

Step 1 — Download the Firmware

Download link: R3 Pro Firmware

Please save the file to your computer.

The firmware file will be named ROM_APP_900A-G000000R3P-4922_2138.img.

If your computer shows a warning saying the file “may harm your device,” you can safely ignore it.

This file is an official GardePro firmware package used only for camera updates, and it is completely safe.

Step 2 — Prepare the Camera

1. Insert an SD card into the camera and format it.

2. Turn the camera switch to OFF.

2. Copy the downloaded ROM_APP_900A-G000000R3P-4922_2138.img file directly into the SD card.

   1. Note: The .img file cannot be opened — this is normal.

   2. Just copy or move it to the SD card.

Step 4 — Start Firmware Upgrade

1. Press and hold the camera MENU button.

2. While holding MENU, move the power switch from OFF → ON.

2. Follow the pairing instructions.

3. On the camera: MENU → Settings → Wireless Pair → OK

4. The camera will restart automatically during pairing.
