5. Setup

5.1 Physical Installation

Choose a suitable outdoor location for installation, ensuring the camera has a clear view and the solar panel receives ample direct sunlight throughout the day. The camera is designed for wall mounting.

Figure 5.1: Examples of camera installation, demonstrating flexibility in mounting the camera and solar panel separately if needed, such as on a house pillar or a tree.

1. Mounting Location: Identify a sturdy surface for mounting. If the camera's location does not receive enough light, the solar panel can be installed separately in a well-lit area using an extension cord (not included).
2. Secure Mounting: Use the provided mounting bracket and screws to securely attach the camera to the desired surface. Ensure the mounting arm is tightened properly to prevent movement.
3. Solar Panel Adjustment: Position the solar panel to maximize sun exposure. It should be angled to capture direct sunlight for most of the day to ensure continuous charging of the internal battery.

5.2 App Installation and Camera Connection

To access live video and camera settings, you need to download the compatible mobile application.

1. Download App: Search for the recommended mobile application (e.g., 'Mycam' or similar as indicated in product packaging) on your smartphone's app store (Android or iOS).
2. Account Registration: Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to register a new account.
3. Add Device: Select the option to add a new device. Follow the in-app prompts to connect your camera to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
4. Connection Tips: During the connection process, ensure your smartphone and the camera are close to your Wi-Fi router. If connection issues arise, try restarting your router, resetting the camera (using the reset button), and then attempting to connect again. If the camera was previously connected, delete it from the app before re-connecting.

6. Operating the Camera

6.1 Live Video and Recording

Once connected, you can view live video streams from your camera via the mobile app at any time. The camera records video to a local TF card (not included).

6.2 Motion Detection

The camera utilizes radar motion detection, which is designed to be more accurate than traditional PIR detection, reducing false alarms.

Figure 6.1: Radar induction provides more accurate motion detection by emitting and receiving radar waves to detect movement within its field.

• Sensitivity Settings: Adjust the motion detection sensitivity within the app to suit your environment and minimize unwanted alerts.
• Alerts: The camera is configured for motion-only alerts. You will receive notifications on your smartphone when motion is detected.

6.3 Night Vision

The camera offers two night vision modes for clear visibility in low-light conditions:

• Infrared Night Vision: Provides clear black and white images in complete darkness.
• Full-Color Night Vision: Utilizes white LED lights to provide full-color video even at night, enhancing detail and clarity.

6.4 Inductive Street Light Feature

The camera can automatically turn on its integrated light when a person is detected, acting as an inductive street light.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

• Regularly clean the camera lens and solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to ensure optimal performance and charging efficiency. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

7.2 Battery Care

The camera is equipped with a 6000 mAh rechargeable battery, continuously charged by the solar panel.

Figure 7.1: The camera's battery is continuously charged by the solar panel, ensuring long-term operation without external power.

• Ensure the solar panel is free from obstructions (e.g., leaves, dirt) that could block sunlight.
• If the camera is installed in an area with insufficient sunlight, the solar panel can be removed and placed in a sunnier spot using an extension cord.
