4.3 4G SIM Card Installation

Locate the SIM card slot on the camera unit. Insert a compatible 4G SIM card into the slot. Ensure the SIM card is correctly oriented as indicated by the diagram near the slot. The camera will use this SIM card for data transmission.

4.4 Powering On

The camera is powered by a 7.5W solar panel and a built-in 10000mAh battery. Once the solar panel is connected and exposed to sunlight, the camera will begin charging and power on automatically. For initial setup or if the battery is depleted, you can use the provided power adapter and USB cable to charge the camera.

4.5 Network Connection

After installing the SIM card and powering on, open the 'xiaovv' app. Follow the in-app instructions to add your camera. This typically involves scanning a QR code on the camera or manually entering its ID. The camera will connect to the internet via the 4G network provided by your SIM card.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 PTZ Control

The camera features Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) functionality, allowing you to remotely adjust its viewing angle. Through the 'xiaovv' app, you can pan the camera horizontally up to 355° and tilt it vertically up to 90° to cover a wide surveillance area and eliminate blind spots.

5.2 Two-Way Audio

Equipped with a high-definition microphone and a 3W high-quality speaker, the camera supports two-way audio communication. You can listen to the audio from the monitoring area and speak through the camera using the 'xiaovv' app. This feature allows for remote interaction with visitors or deterrence of intruders.

5.3 Night Vision Modes

The P15S-4G camera offers advanced night vision capabilities, including full-color starlight night vision. Utilizing a high-sensitivity sensor and an F1.0 large aperture lens, it captures vivid and clear color images even in low-light conditions, eliminating the need for additional white light. The camera also features 8pcs Dual Core LEDs for infrared and white light, providing effective night vision up to 8 meters.

5.4 Recording & Storage

The camera supports continuous recording and playback. You can store footage locally on a TF (Micro SD) card, with support for up to 128GB. Additionally, cloud storage is available for alarm videos (subscription may be required). The recording duration varies based on the TF card capacity:

• 32GB SD Card: 4-8 Days
• 64GB SD Card: 8-15 Days
• 128GB SD Card: 15-28 Days

5.5 Motion Detection & Alarms

The camera utilizes PIR (Passive Infrared) and Radar dual induction detection for accurate motion sensing. When motion is detected within a 0-12 meter range and 120° angle, the camera will confirm the event and push alarm notifications to your mobile phone via the 'xiaovv' app. This system helps reduce false alarms and ensures you are notified of relevant activity.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

• Camera Lens: Gently wipe the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust or smudges. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Solar Panel: Periodically clean the surface of the solar panel to ensure maximum sunlight absorption. Dust, dirt, or debris can reduce charging efficiency. Use a soft cloth and water if necessary.
• Camera Body: Wipe the camera body with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt.

6.2 Battery Care

The camera features a built-in 10000mAh rechargeable battery. While the solar panel provides continuous charging, ensure the solar panel is positioned to receive direct sunlight for optimal performance. Avoid prolonged periods of complete discharge to maintain battery health.

6.3 Environmental Protection

The camera is IP66 waterproof, designed to withstand heavy rain, lightning, and dust. However, avoid submerging the camera in water or exposing it to extreme physical impact.

7. Troubleshooting

• Camera not powering on: Ensure the solar panel is connected correctly and receiving sufficient sunlight. If the battery is completely drained, connect the camera to the power adapter for initial charging.
• No 4G signal or connectivity issues: Verify that the 4G SIM card is correctly inserted and activated with a data plan. Check the signal strength in the camera's location via the app. Note that the 4G version may not work in all countries (e.g., Italy, Chile, Iran).
• Poor image quality: Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions. Check the app settings for resolution and night vision modes.
• Motion detection not working: Verify that PIR and Radar detection are enabled in the app settings. Adjust the detection sensitivity if needed. Ensure there are no physical obstructions blocking the sensor's view.
• Two-way audio issues: Check the microphone and speaker settings in the app. Ensure your mobile device's volume is up and the camera's speaker is not obstructed.
• Recording not saving: Confirm that a TF card is inserted and has sufficient free space, or that your cloud storage subscription is active.

8. User Tips
