They are designed for outdoor use with an IP65 weatherproof rating and are powered by rechargeable batteries with included solar panels for continuous operation.

5. Setup Guide

5.1. NVR Setup

1. Power Connection: Connect the provided power adapter to the NVR and plug it into a power outlet.
2. Power On: Press the power button on the NVR. The 7-inch monitor will light up.
3. Network Connection (Optional): For remote viewing and cloud features, connect the NVR to your router via an Ethernet cable or configure Wi-Fi settings through the on-screen menu.

5.2. Camera Installation

1. Location Selection: Choose a mounting location that provides a clear view of the area you wish to monitor, has a strong Wi-Fi signal from the NVR, and receives ample direct sunlight for the solar panel.
2. Mounting: Use the provided screws and mounting hardware to securely attach the camera to a wall or other stable surface.
3. Solar Panel Connection: Connect the solar panel cable to the camera's charging port. Position the solar panel to maximize sun exposure throughout the day.

5.3. Initial Configuration

1. Automatic Pairing: The wireless cameras are designed to automatically pair with the NVR upon power-up. If cameras do not appear on the monitor, refer to the troubleshooting section.
2. On-Screen Prompts: Follow the on-screen instructions on the 7-inch monitor to complete the initial setup, including setting the date, time, and preferred language.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Using the 7-inch IPS Touch Screen

The intuitive touch screen allows for easy navigation of the system's features. Tap icons and swipe to access different menus and camera views.

6.2. Live View

From the main screen, you can view live feeds from all connected cameras. Tap on a specific camera view to enlarge it.

6.3. Playback

Access the playback menu to review recorded footage. You can filter recordings by date, time, and motion events. The system supports 8x digital zoom during live view and playback for detailed inspection.

6.4. Two-Way Audio

The cameras feature built-in microphones and speakers, enabling real-time two-way communication. Use this feature to speak to visitors or deter intruders directly through the NVR monitor or the mobile app.

6.5. Motion Detection & Alerts

The system utilizes PIR (Passive Infrared) Humanoid Detection to accurately identify human movement, reducing false alarms. Configure alert settings to receive instant notifications via the mobile app or email when motion is detected.

6.6. Pan & Tilt Control

Each camera offers 270° horizontal pan and 90° vertical tilt capabilities. Control the camera's viewing angle remotely via the NVR monitor or mobile app to cover a wider area without blind spots.

6.7. Night Vision

The cameras provide clear surveillance even in complete darkness. They automatically switch between day and night modes. The system supports both infrared (IR) night vision for black and white images and color night vision, if ambient light is sufficient or enabled.

6.8. Customizing Monitor Area & Privacy Mask

You can define specific areas within the camera's view for monitoring and motion detection. Additionally, privacy masks allow you to block out certain areas from being recorded to protect personal privacy.

6.9. Storage

The NVR supports a Micro SD card (up to 256GB) for local storage of recordings. Additionally, cloud storage options may be available through the associated mobile application for off-site backup.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the camera lenses and solar panels with a soft, damp cloth to ensure clear vision and efficient charging. Clean the NVR monitor with a screen-safe cleaner.
• Battery Maintenance: The cameras are powered by rechargeable batteries and solar panels. Ensure solar panels are free from obstructions (e.g., leaves, snow) and receive adequate sunlight for optimal battery life. Check battery status periodically via the NVR or app.
• Firmware Updates: Check for available firmware updates through the NVR's system settings or the mobile application. Keeping your system updated ensures the latest features and security enhancements.

8. Troubleshooting

• No Image/Signal from Camera:
  • Check if the camera is powered on and its battery is charged.
  • Ensure the camera is within range of the NVR's Wi-Fi signal. Obstacles like thick walls can significantly reduce range.
  • Re-pair the camera with the NVR if necessary (refer to the NVR's on-screen menu for pairing options).
• Poor Image Quality:
  • Clean the camera lens.
  • Ensure sufficient lighting in the monitored area, especially for color night vision.
  • Check the camera's resolution settings on the NVR.
• Motion Detection Not Working or Too Many False Alarms:
  • Adjust the PIR sensitivity settings in the NVR menu.
  • Configure specific motion detection zones to exclude areas with frequent non-human movement (e.g., trees swaying).
• Two-Way Audio Issues:
  • Check microphone and speaker volume settings on the NVR and mobile app.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the camera's microphone or speaker.
• Camera Battery Not Charging:
  • Verify the solar panel is connected correctly to the camera.
  • Ensure the solar panel is clean and positioned to receive direct sunlight for several hours daily.
  • Cloudy weather or shade will reduce charging efficiency.
• Wireless Range Limitations:
  • The effective wireless range can be significantly reduced by physical obstructions like walls, large metal objects, or other electronic interference.
  • For distances like 200 meters with buildings, a direct line of sight is crucial, and multiple obstacles will likely prevent a stable connection. Consider repositioning the NVR or cameras to minimize obstructions.

10. User Tips

• Optimize Battery Life: For optimal battery life and continuous operation, ensure solar panels receive direct, unobstructed sunlight for several hours daily. Battery duration is highly dependent on motion events and live view usage.
• Wireless Range: Position cameras within a strong Wi-Fi signal range of the NVR. While wireless, physical obstructions like walls or dense foliage can significantly degrade signal strength and range.
• Reduce False Alarms: Utilize the PIR Humanoid Detection feature and customize motion detection zones to minimize false alarms triggered by pets, swaying branches, or passing vehicles.
• Storage Management: Regularly review recorded footage and manage your Micro SD card storage. Consider cloud storage for important backups and extended recording history.
