6. Troubleshooting

• Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. Check Wi-Fi signal strength at the camera's location. Restart your router and the camera.
• Frequent false alarms: Adjust the PIR motion detection sensitivity in the app. Define specific detection zones to exclude high-traffic areas or swaying branches.
• Battery draining quickly: Ensure the solar panel is receiving sufficient direct sunlight. Check for excessive motion events that trigger frequent recordings. Reduce recording length or motion sensitivity if necessary. Extreme cold weather can also temporarily reduce battery efficiency.
• Poor video quality: Ensure the camera lens is clean. Check your Wi-Fi signal strength; a weak signal can affect streaming quality.
• Two-way audio issues: Ensure microphone and speaker permissions are enabled for the ANRAN App on your phone. Check volume settings on both the app and your phone.
