7. Troubleshooting
- Camera not connecting to 4G:
- Ensure the SIM card is correctly inserted and has an active data plan.
- Check if the 4G signal strength is adequate in the camera's location.
- Verify that your SIM card's frequency band is compatible with the camera (refer to Section 1).
- Restart the camera.
- Battery not charging:
- Ensure the solar panel is clean and free from obstructions.
- Verify the solar panel is positioned to receive maximum direct sunlight.
- Check the connection between the solar panel and the camera.
- If possible, try charging via USB to confirm the battery itself is functional.
- Motion detection issues (too many/few alerts):
- Adjust the PIR sensitivity settings in the Yoosee app.
- Refine the activity alarm areas to exclude irrelevant zones.
- Ensure there are no objects (e.g., tree branches) that might cause false alarms due to movement.
- Night vision unclear:
- Clean the camera lens and IR/white light sensors.
- Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the camera's view or reflecting light back into the lens.
- Check if the correct night vision mode (color/IR) is selected for the environment.
- Cannot access camera remotely:
- Verify the camera has a stable 4G connection.
- Check your phone's internet connection.
- Ensure the Yoosee app is up to date.
- Restart both the camera and your phone.
8. User Tips
- Optimal 4G Signal: For the best performance, ensure the camera is installed in an area with strong 4G cellular signal. Poor signal can lead to delayed notifications and choppy video streams.
- Solar Panel Placement: Position the solar panel to receive at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. This is crucial for maintaining battery charge and continuous operation, especially in areas with less frequent sunlight.
- Regular App Checks: Periodically open the Yoosee app to check the camera's battery level, 4G signal strength, and review event recordings.
- Security Settings: Utilize the activity alarm area feature to define specific zones for motion detection, reducing unnecessary alerts and conserving battery life.
