7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No network connection / Camera offline | Weak 4G signal; SIM card issues; Antenna not properly attached. | Check the 4G signal strength in the camera's location. Ensure the antenna is securely screwed in. Verify the SIM card is correctly inserted and activated. Try moving the camera to an area with better signal. |
| High battery consumption | Frequent triggers; Cold weather; Low-quality batteries. | Adjust PIR sensitivity to a lower setting. Reduce PIR interval. Use high-quality alkaline batteries. Consider using a compatible solar panel (sold separately) for extended operation. |
| App connection issues / Cannot add device | Incorrect app setup; Camera not connected to network; QR code not scanning. | Ensure the camera is powered on and has established a 4G connection (blue 4G LED, NET LED not blinking red). Re-scan the QR code. Restart the app and the camera. Check your phone's internet connection. |
| No images/videos saved | SD card full or faulty; Incorrect storage settings. | Check SD card capacity and format it if necessary (this will erase data). Ensure the camera is set to save to SD card if not using cloud storage. Replace SD card if faulty. |
| Poor image/video quality at night | Subject too far; Obstructions in front of LEDs. | Ensure the subject is within the night vision range (up to 20 meters). Clear any obstructions from the camera's view, especially in front of the infrared LEDs. |
