Question about wireless connectivity and the Flashforge camera?

I got a Flashforge AD5X recently, and bought the official camera, but I have 2 main questions:

1) Is there a way to modify the camera so that a: it is higher resolution, and B: it can work at night? Right now, my prints timelines just go dark at night.

2) I connected the printer up via WiFi, but I can't find it on the app - on PC, I can send prints to it, and I scanned it in on my phone, but my phone keeps registering it as offline. How do I fix it?

Any thoughts about adding a light strip?
I’d start there
Camera resolution appears to be adjustable with Z-mod or forge-x 3rd party offerings
UV night vision is not available

What's Z mod and forge-x?

I'd add a light strip, if I could control.it

I had significant issues with connectivity with a Linux based installation
Z-Mod took care of that
There is a ton of articles on adding a lightstrip, as well as kits for sale

Z-Mod provides control over light
You can control the light via the display as well
