Setup Guide

1. SIM Card and Micro SD Card Installation

Locate the SIM card and Micro SD card slots on the camera. Carefully insert the provided 4G LTE SIM card and 64GB Micro SD card into their respective slots. Ensure they are inserted correctly until they click into place. The camera requires both for full functionality and local storage.

2. Initial Battery Charging

Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the camera's built-in lithium-ion battery. Connect the camera to the solar panel and place the solar panel in direct sunlight for several hours. Alternatively, you can use the provided Type-C USB cable to charge the camera via a standard USB power adapter (not included).

3. App Installation and Account Creation

Download the "UBox" application from your smartphone's app store (available for Android and iOS). Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to create a new user account or log in if you already have one.

4. Device Pairing

Within the UBox app, select "Add Device" or the '+' icon. Power on the camera. The app will guide you through the pairing process, which typically involves scanning a QR code on the camera or entering its device ID. Ensure your smartphone has a stable internet connection during this step.

5. Mounting the Camera

Choose a suitable outdoor location for mounting the camera and solar panel. The camera is designed for wall mounting. Use the provided screw kit to securely attach the camera and solar panel bracket to a solid surface. Position the solar panel to receive maximum direct sunlight throughout the day for optimal charging.

Operating Instructions

Live View and Pan/Tilt Control

Open the UBox app and select your camera from the device list to access the live video feed. Use the on-screen controls to remotely pan (horizontal movement) and tilt (vertical movement) the camera lens, providing a 360-degree viewing angle to cover a wide area.

Motion Detection and Alerts

The camera features PIR (Passive Infrared) motion detection. When motion is detected, the camera will automatically record video and send instant notifications to your smartphone via the UBox app. You can adjust motion sensitivity settings within the app to minimize false alerts.

Two-Way Audio and Alarm

Utilize the built-in microphone and speaker for two-way communication. Tap the microphone icon in the live view to speak through the camera, and listen to audio from the camera's surroundings. In case of an intruder, you can activate a sound and light alarm directly from the app to deter unwanted visitors.

Night Vision and Spotlight

The camera is equipped with 4 spotlights and infrared LEDs to provide clear vision in low-light conditions. It supports 2K color night vision when spotlights are active, and traditional black-and-white infrared night vision when they are off. The spotlights can be configured to activate upon motion detection or manually controlled via the app.

Storage Management

All recorded videos are stored on the included 64GB Micro SD card. You can review playback directly from the UBox app. The camera also offers an optional cloud storage service, with a 30-day free trial, for additional backup and accessibility.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the camera lens and solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. This ensures clear image quality and efficient solar charging. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Solar Panel Care: Ensure the solar panel remains unobstructed by leaves, snow, or other objects to maximize sunlight exposure and charging efficiency.
• Battery Health: While the solar panel provides continuous power, extreme weather conditions or prolonged periods of low sunlight may affect battery levels. Monitor battery status via the UBox app.
• Waterproofing: The camera has an IP65 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against dust and low-pressure water jets. Ensure all covers and seals are properly closed after accessing card slots to maintain water resistance.

Troubleshooting

• Camera Not Connecting to 4G Network:
  • Ensure the SIM card is correctly inserted and activated with a data plan.
  • Check cellular signal strength in the camera's location via the UBox app. Relocate if signal is weak.
  • Restart the camera by powering it off and on.
• Battery Not Charging:
  • Verify the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight.
  • Ensure the solar panel cable is securely connected to the camera.
  • Charge the camera directly using the USB-C cable to rule out solar panel issues.
• Poor Image Quality at Night:
  • Clean the camera lens to remove any smudges or dirt.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the camera's view or reflecting light back into the lens.
  • Check if spotlights are enabled for color night vision, or if infrared LEDs are functioning.
• Motion Alerts Not Received:
  • Check motion detection settings in the UBox app (sensitivity, detection zones).
  • Ensure app notifications are enabled on your smartphone and for the UBox app.
  • Verify the camera has a stable 4G connection.
