2.3 Mounting the Camera and Solar Panel

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Remote Viewing and PTZ Control
Once connected, you can access live view and recorded footage remotely via the GENBOLT app. The camera supports 355° horizontal pan and 90° vertical tilt, allowing you to cover a wide area without blind spots. Use the directional controls within the app to adjust the camera's viewing angle.
3.2 PIR Human Detection and Alerts
The camera features an advanced PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor that detects objects with body temperature around 37°C (98.6°F), significantly reducing false alarms caused by environmental factors like sunlight. When motion is detected, the camera will immediately push notifications to your smartphone.
3.3 Night Vision Modes
The camera offers both Infrared Night Vision and Color Night Vision. In White Light mode, floodlights automatically turn on when an alarm is triggered at night, providing clear color images and deterring intruders. You can switch between modes in the app settings.
3.4 4G LTE Connectivity
The camera operates exclusively on 3G/4G LTE networks, making it ideal for locations without Wi-Fi. The included GENBOLT SIM card is pre-configured. You can monitor and refill your data plan directly within the app. The camera is designed for efficient data usage with a powerful 4G baseband chip and intelligent algorithms.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Solar Panel Cleaning
Regularly clean the surface of the solar panel to ensure optimal charging efficiency. Dust, dirt, and debris can reduce its performance. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the panel.
4.2 Battery Management
The camera's 15600mAh battery is designed for long standby times. While the solar panel provides continuous charging, in prolonged periods of low sunlight or heavy usage, the battery level may drop. Monitor the battery status in the app and recharge via the Type-C port if necessary.
4.3 Weather Resistance
The camera has an IP66 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against dust and powerful water jets. While designed to withstand various weather conditions, avoid submerging the camera in water or exposing it to extreme temperatures outside its operating range.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Camera Not Connecting

- Check cellular signal strength at the camera's location.
- Restart the camera and try connecting again.
5.2 Poor Image Quality
- Clean the camera lens with a soft cloth.
