PIR Motion Detection & Alerts
The camera features PIR (Passive Infrared) motion detection, which accurately identifies human and animal movement, reducing false alarms. Upon detection, you will receive real-time app notifications, and the camera can trigger an alert sound and turn on its floodlight (at night) to deter intruders.

Solar Panel Efficiency
To ensure optimal charging, periodically check that the solar panel is clean and free from dust, dirt, leaves, or snow. Position the panel to receive maximum direct sunlight, especially during winter months.
