- No audio or poor audio quality: Check the microphone and speaker settings in the app. Ensure there are no physical obstructions blocking the microphone or speaker on the camera.
- SD card not recording: Ensure the TF card is correctly inserted and formatted within the app. Check if the card is full; enable loop recording or consider cloud storage.
- AI detection not triggering: Adjust the sensitivity settings for human detection in the app. Ensure the detection zone is correctly set up and not too narrow.
- Solar panel not charging: Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight and is free from dirt or obstructions. Verify all connections between the solar panel, battery unit, and camera are secure.
9. User Tips
- Optimize Placement: For the best panoramic view, mount the camera in a central location that allows its fixed lenses to cover the widest possible area, and use the PTZ lens for specific points of interest.
- Leverage Smart Night Vision: Use the Smart Night Vision mode to save power while still getting full-color footage when activity is detected.
- Regular App Checks: Periodically check the Yoosee app for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
- Secure Your Recordings: While TF card storage is convenient, consider using cloud storage for critical footage as it provides an off-site backup in case of camera theft or damage.
