7.1 Cleaning
- Camera Lens: Gently wipe the camera lenses with a soft, clean cloth to remove dust or smudges. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the lens.
- Solar Panel: Periodically clean the surface of the solar panel to ensure maximum sunlight absorption. Dust, dirt, or debris can reduce charging efficiency.
- Camera Body: Wipe the camera body with a damp cloth as needed.
7.2 Battery Management
The camera is designed for continuous operation with its solar panel and built-in battery. Ensure the solar panel receives adequate sunlight. If the camera is installed in a shaded area or experiences prolonged periods of low light, the battery may drain. Monitor battery status via the UBox app.
7.3 Firmware Updates
Periodically check the UBox app for available firmware updates. Keeping your camera's firmware up-to-date ensures optimal performance, security, and access to new features.
7.4 Weather Resistance
The camera has an IP65 waterproof rating, making it resistant to rain, dust, and extreme temperatures. While designed for outdoor use, avoid submerging the camera in water.
8. Troubleshooting
- Camera not connecting to App: Ensure the camera is powered on and within range of your WiFi network (for WiFi models) or has a strong 4G signal (for 4G models). Re-attempt the Bluetooth + QR code configuration process.
- No video feed: Check network connectivity. Ensure the camera's lenses are clean and unobstructed.
- PIR detection not working: Verify that PIR detection is enabled in the UBox app settings. Ensure the detection area is clear of constant movement (e.g., swaying branches) that could trigger false alarms.
- Night vision issues: Check if the IR lights or white lights are obstructed. Ensure the correct night vision mode (Color or IR) is selected in the app.
- Battery draining quickly: Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight for several hours a day. Adjust the panel's angle if necessary. Reduce frequent live view access or excessive motion detection events if not critical.
- Compatibility: This camera does not support ONVIF for integration with NVR/DVR systems. A PC client is also not supported; all operations are via the UBox mobile app.

- Choosing the Right Model: The LS VISION S28 comes in both WiFi and 4G versions. Ensure you select the model that best suits your connectivity needs at the installation site.
- TF Card Compatibility: For TF card storage, it is highly recommended to use only 256GB TF cards provided by LS VISION to ensure full compatibility and optimal performance.
- Optimal Solar Charging: Position the solar panel in an area that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day to ensure continuous power to the camera's built-in battery.
- Preset Points: Utilize the preset point feature in the app to quickly navigate to and monitor important areas without manually adjusting the PTZ every time.
