3.3 Night Vision Modes
The camera offers two night vision modes:
- Infrared Night Vision: Provides clear black and white images in dark environments.
- Full Color Night Vision: When motion is detected at night, the camera's floodlights activate to provide a full-color image.
Image 3.3: The camera offers both intelligent full-color night vision and standard infrared night vision for versatile monitoring.
3.4 Recording Modes
- Low Power Mode (Default): The camera records only when motion is detected, conserving battery life.
- 24/7 Full-Time Recording Mode: This mode allows continuous recording, ensuring no moments are missed. Note that this mode consumes battery power more rapidly.
4. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your WITSECTECH 4G LTE Solar Security Camera, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Solar Panel Cleaning: Regularly clean the surface of the solar panel to remove dust, dirt, and debris. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and efficient battery charging. Use a soft, damp cloth.
- Lens Cleaning: Gently clean the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain clear image quality. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the lens.
- Battery Care: While the solar panel provides continuous charging, ensure the camera receives sufficient sunlight. If the camera is installed in a shaded area or during prolonged cloudy periods, occasional manual charging via the USB port may be necessary to maintain battery health.
- Firmware Updates: Check the UBox app periodically for any available firmware updates. Keeping the camera's firmware updated ensures access to the latest features and security enhancements.
- Environmental Protection: The camera has an IP66 waterproof rating, making it resistant to dust and water jets. However, avoid submerging the camera in water or exposing it to extreme pressure washing.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your WITSECTECH 4G LTE Solar Security Camera, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera fails to connect or pair with the app. | Inactive SIM card, poor cellular signal, incorrect app pairing steps, camera not powered on. | Ensure the SIM card is activated and has data. Check cellular signal strength at the camera's location. Verify the camera is powered on and its indicator light is blue. Re-attempt the QR code scanning process in the UBox app. |
| "Red light is constantly on" and camera is unresponsive. | Configuration error, hardware issue. | Try resetting the camera (if a reset button is available, refer to the device diagram). Ensure the SIM card is correctly inserted and activated. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Poor cellular service/signal. | Camera located in an area with weak 4G coverage. | Relocate the camera to an area with stronger 4G cellular signal. Test signal strength with a smartphone at the intended location before final installation. |
| Battery drains quickly. | Insufficient solar charging, 24/7 recording mode enabled, frequent motion triggers. | Ensure the solar panel receives direct sunlight for several hours daily. Consider switching to low power mode (motion-triggered recording). Adjust PIR sensitivity to reduce unnecessary recordings. |
| No video recording to SD card. | SD card not inserted, faulty SD card, SD card full, incorrect recording settings. | Ensure the SD card is correctly inserted. Format the SD card via the app. Check recording settings in the UBox app to confirm local storage is enabled. Replace the SD card if it is faulty. |
If your mobile phone connection fails more than 3 times, please contact customer support for assistance.
