- - Ensure your router is 2.4Ghz compatible. The camera does not support 5Ghz WiFi. If dual-band, connect your phone to the 2.4Ghz band during setup.
- - Check WiFi signal strength at the camera's installation location. Move the camera closer to the router if necessary.
- - Reset the camera and try the connection process again.
- Poor image quality:
- - Clean the camera lens with a soft cloth.
- - Ensure there are no obstructions in the camera's field of view.
- - Check your internet connection speed. A slow connection can affect streaming quality.
- Battery not charging via solar panel:
- - Ensure the solar panel is installed in a location with direct sunlight exposure for several hours daily.
- - Clean the surface of the solar panel from any dirt or debris.
- - Verify the connection cable between the solar panel and the camera is securely plugged in.
