- Ensure cameras are powered on and within range of the NVR.
- **Cameras Not Connecting:**
- Ensure cameras are fully charged.
- Check if cameras are too far from the NVR or if there are significant obstructions.
- Try restarting both the NVR and the cameras.
- **No Mobile App Access:**
- Ensure your NVR is connected to the internet (via WiFi or Ethernet).
- Verify your mobile device has an active internet connection.
- Double-check app login credentials and device addition steps.
- **Frequent Motion Detection Alerts:**
- Adjust motion detection sensitivity in the NVR or app settings.
- Define specific motion detection zones to exclude areas with frequent, non-threatening movement (e.g., trees swaying).
8. User Tips
- **Optimal Solar Charging:** For best performance, position solar panels where they receive at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- **Hard Drive Management:** If using a 3.5-inch hard drive, consider its capacity (e.g., 30 days of storage) and plan for regular review or backup of critical footage.
- **Network Stability:** A stable WiFi network is crucial for reliable wireless camera performance and remote access. Consider placing the NVR centrally or using a wired connection if WiFi signal is weak.
