Questions and answers
bought gofish camera years ago nev er used it tried it for first time it will not hold its power therefor only connects while on mains charging power supply
The GoFish Cam may not hold its power and only work while plugged in due to a worn-out battery. If the operating time is very short even after being fully charged, the battery may have degraded. Additionally, battery performance can decrease in cold environments. If the device is still within one year of purchase, contacting GoFish Cam for warranty support is recommended.
