4.1 Choosing a Location

Select a location that provides optimal sunlight exposure for the solar panel to ensure continuous charging. The camera is weatherproof (IP65 rated), but placing it under an eave or sheltered area can offer additional protection and extend its lifespan. Ensure the camera has a clear view of the area you wish to monitor and is within range of your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.

4.2 Mounting the Camera and Solar Panel

The camera offers two mounting options:

1. Screw-in Mount: Use the provided screws and anchors to securely attach the standard mounting bracket to a wall or ceiling. Then, attach the camera to the bracket.
2. Magnetic Mount: For easier adjustment and removal, screw the magnetic base into the desired location. The camera can then be magnetically attached to this base.

Connect the solar panel cable to the camera. Mount the solar panel in a position that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day. The cable length allows for flexible placement of the solar panel relative to the camera.
