Troubleshooting

1. Camera Offline / No Connection

• Check 4G Signal: Ensure the camera is in an area with strong 4G LTE signal.
• SIM Card: Verify the SIM card is correctly inserted and activated. Check your data plan status via the UBox app.
• Reboot: Power off the camera, wait 10 seconds, and power it back on.

2. Battery Not Charging

• Solar Panel Position: Ensure the solar panel is clean and receives direct sunlight for several hours daily.
• Cable Connection: Verify the solar panel cable is securely connected to the camera.
• Manual Charge: If solar charging is insufficient, charge the camera directly using the USB cable.

3. False Motion Alerts / Missed Events

• PIR Sensitivity: Adjust the PIR sensitivity settings in the UBox app (Low, Medium, High) to optimize detection for your environment.
• PIR Interval: Configure the PIR interval to prevent excessive recordings from continuous motion.
• Obstructions: Ensure there are no moving branches or objects directly in front of the camera that could trigger false alerts.

4. Poor Image/Video Quality

• Lens Cleanliness: Clean the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth.
• Lighting: Ensure adequate lighting for optimal daytime recording. For night vision, verify night mode settings.
• SD Card: Ensure the SD card is not full or corrupted. Format the SD card if necessary (this will erase all data).
