Hi! I understand you're having trouble connecting your Bird Lover Feeder camera to the app, and you can’t find the power button on the camera. Let’s get this sorted out together.

First, just to clarify: Is this a model that’s supposed to have a physical power button, or was it mentioned in the manual? Sometimes, these cameras don’t have a traditional power button. Instead, they power on automatically when connected to a power source or by pressing a reset button.

Here’s what we can try step-by-step:

1. Check the Power Source:
Make sure your camera is properly plugged in or charged. If it uses a battery, ensure the battery is inserted correctly and charged.

2. Look for a Reset Button:
Many Bird Lover Feeder cameras don’t have a separate power button but instead have a small reset button, often inside a pinhole. Pressing and holding this reset button for about 5 seconds usually powers on or restarts the device.

3. Power Cycling the Camera:
If you can’t find a power button, try disconnecting the power source (unplugging or removing the battery), wait about 10 seconds, then reconnect it. This often forces the camera to reboot.

4. Follow App Connection Steps:
- Open the Bird Lover Feeder app on your iPhone (iOS 18.6.2).
- Make sure Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on your iPhone.
- Sometimes the app or camera searches for the device automatically once it's powered on.
- If the camera appears in the app’s device list, try connecting.

5. Check Wi-Fi Frequency:
The camera usually requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, not 5 GHz. Verify your phone is connected to the correct network before connecting the camera.

Could you tell me if you’ve already tried power cycling or pressing a reset button on the device? Also, if you have the model name or any instructions that came with the camera, that would help me guide you better.

If you want, I can find the exact location and function of the power/reset button based on your camera model.

Are you able to give any extra details?
