Operating Instructions

Live View and Playback

• Open the V380 Pro app on your smartphone, tablet, or PC.
• Select your camera from the device list to access the live video feed.
• Use the on-screen controls to pan (355°) and tilt (90°) the camera to monitor different areas.
• Access recorded footage from the TF card or cloud storage through the app's playback function.

Motion Detection and Alerts

• The camera automatically detects human motion using its PIR sensor.
• Upon detection, the camera will wake up from standby, begin recording, and send an alert message to your connected smartphone via the V380 Pro app.
• Adjust the sensitivity of motion detection in the app settings to minimize false alarms.

Two-Way Audio

• While viewing the live feed, tap the microphone icon in the V380 Pro app to speak through the camera's speaker.
• The camera's built-in microphone will capture audio from the surveillance area, allowing for real-time communication.

Night Vision

• The camera automatically switches to night vision mode in low-light conditions.
• Dual-light night vision allows for full-color recording when motion is detected and the white lights activate.

Storage Management

• Recorded videos are stored on the inserted TF card or uploaded to the cloud storage service (subscription may be required).
• Manage and review recordings directly from the V380 Pro app.

Maintenance

• Solar Panel Cleaning: Regularly clean the surface of the solar panel to ensure optimal sunlight absorption and charging efficiency. Dust, dirt, or debris can reduce performance.
• Battery Health: Ensure the camera receives sufficient direct sunlight daily to keep the built-in battery charged. Prolonged periods without sunlight may deplete the battery.
• Firmware Updates: Check the V380 Pro app periodically for available firmware updates. Keeping the camera's firmware up-to-date ensures optimal performance, security, and access to new features.
• Physical Inspection: Periodically inspect the camera and mounting bracket for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections, especially after severe weather.
• Storage Management: If using a TF card, consider formatting it periodically through the app to maintain performance and free up space. Back up important recordings before formatting.

Troubleshooting

Camera not connecting to 4G network:

Ensure the 4G SIM card is correctly inserted, active, and has a sufficient data plan. Verify that the camera is within an area with good 4G signal coverage. Restart the camera and check the app for connection status.

No motion detection alerts:

Check the motion detection settings in the V380 Pro app. Ensure PIR detection is enabled and sensitivity is set appropriately. Verify that app notifications are allowed on your smartphone. Ensure there are no physical obstructions blocking the PIR sensor's view.

Night vision is unclear or not activating:

Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from dirt or smudges. Check for any nearby reflective surfaces that might interfere with the infrared lights. Verify that the ambient light conditions are dark enough for night vision to activate automatically.

Camera battery not charging:

Confirm the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight for several hours a day. Clean the solar panel surface to remove any dirt or obstructions. Ensure the solar panel is securely connected to the camera.

App connectivity issues (e.g., cannot view live feed):

Check your smartphone's internet connection. Restart the V380 Pro app and the camera. Ensure the camera's 4G signal is strong. If the issue persists, try re-adding the device in the app.

Specifications

User Tips

• Optimal Solar Charging: For best battery performance, ensure the solar panel is installed in a location that receives at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Avoid shaded areas.
• 4G Data Usage: Monitor your 4G data plan, especially with frequent motion detections and live viewing, as continuous usage can consume data quickly.
• Motion Detection Zones: Utilize the V380 Pro app to set specific motion detection zones to focus on critical areas and reduce unnecessary alerts from passing traffic or animals.
• SD Card Compatibility: When using a TF (Micro SD) card, ensure it is a high-quality, high-speed card (Class 10 or higher) for reliable recording.
