6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No signal on monitor | Camera not powered on or out of range; interference; pairing issue. | Ensure camera is powered on (blue light visible). Check distance between camera and monitor (max 150m in open areas). Re-pair devices if necessary. Minimize obstructions. |
| Monitor not turning on | No power supply to monitor. | Check power connection to the monitor. Ensure the vehicle's power outlet is functional. |
| BSD alarm beeping frequently | Obstacles or people are frequently entering the detection zone. | This is normal operation. If false alarms are excessive, review camera placement or adjust BSD sensitivity in Smart settings. |
| Poor image quality | Dirty lens; low light; signal interference. | Clean camera lens. Ensure sufficient lighting for optimal night vision. Check for signal interference. |
| Camera not charging via solar | Solar panel obstructed or insufficient sunlight. | Ensure solar panel is clean and exposed to direct sunlight. Use alternative charging methods if solar charging is not sufficient. |
