4. Operating Instructions
The WALI Dummy Fake Security Camera features three Passive Infrared (PIR) modes for its motion sensor flood light. These modes can be cycled by pressing and holding the switch button located on the solar panel for 3 seconds.
4.1 PIR Modes
- Mode 1 (Night Dim Light + Detection Mode): At night, the light remains dimly lit. Upon motion detection, it switches to full brightness.
- Mode 2 (Night Detection Mode): At night, the light remains off. Upon motion detection, it switches to full brightness, and a red light keeps flashing. (Note: The red light does not work on other modes.)
- Mode 3 (Night Constant On Mode): The light provides full illumination at night for 4 hours, then changes to a dim light.

5. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your WALI Dummy Fake Security Camera, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Clean the Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may hinder charging efficiency.
- Check for Obstructions: Ensure no tree branches, leaves, or other objects are blocking the solar panel or the motion sensor's field of view.
- Inspect Mounting: Periodically check that the camera is securely mounted and that all screws are tight.
- Weather Protection: While the camera is IP66 rainproof, extreme weather conditions (heavy snow, ice) may temporarily affect performance. Clear any accumulation from the solar panel and lens.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your WALI Dummy Fake Security Camera, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Insufficient solar charging. | Ensure the solar panel is in direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Clean the solar panel. |
| Motion sensor not detecting. | Sensor obstructed or incorrect mode. | Clear any obstructions from the sensor. Cycle through the PIR modes to ensure the correct detection mode is active. |
| Light is too dim or stays on constantly. | Incorrect PIR mode selected. | Press and hold the switch button for 3 seconds to cycle through the three PIR modes until the desired setting is achieved. |
| Camera appears loose after installation. | Mounting screws or adjustment knob not tight. | Tighten all mounting screws and the adjustment knob on the camera base to secure its position. |
