5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Connectivity Issues

  • Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The camera does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi. Check Wi-Fi signal strength at the camera's location.
  • App not finding camera during pairing: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the camera is powered on and in pairing mode.

5.2 Power and Charging Issues

  • Solar panel not charging: Verify the solar panel is clean and positioned to receive direct sunlight. Check the connection cable between the solar panel and the camera.
  • Battery draining quickly: Reduce the frequency of motion detection alerts or live view access. Ensure the solar panel is providing sufficient charge.

5.3 Image/Video Quality Issues

  • Blurry images: Clean the camera lenses. Ensure there are no obstructions in front of the camera.
  • Poor night vision: Ensure the night vision LEDs are not obstructed. Check for strong light sources directly facing the camera at night.

5.4 False Alarms

  • Too many alerts: Adjust the motion detection sensitivity in the app. Define specific alarm zones to exclude areas with frequent irrelevant motion (e.g., swaying trees).
  • AI detection not working as expected: Ensure the camera's firmware is up to date. Review the AI detection settings in the app.
