7. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Tonton security system, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the camera lenses with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or water spots that may obstruct the view.
- Check Connections: Ensure all power and network cables are securely connected and free from damage.
- Firmware Updates: Check the Tonton website or EseeCloud app for any available firmware updates for your NVR and cameras to ensure the latest features and security patches.
- Hard Drive Management: The NVR automatically overwrites older footage when the hard drive is full. Regularly back up important recordings if needed.
- Environmental Considerations: While cameras are IP66 weatherproof, extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy snow, direct prolonged sunlight) may affect performance. Ensure cameras are installed in locations that minimize direct exposure to the harshest elements where possible.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Tonton security system, try the following basic troubleshooting steps:
- No Video Feed:
- Check if the camera and NVR are powered on.
- Ensure the camera is within the NVR's wireless range.
- Verify the NVR is correctly connected to the monitor/TV.
- Poor Wireless Signal:
- Relocate cameras closer to the NVR or use the repeater function of another camera.
- Minimize obstructions between cameras and the NVR.
- Motion Detection Not Working:
- Check motion detection settings in the NVR or app.
- Ensure the PIR sensor is not obstructed.
