5.2 Cleaning

Periodically wipe the camera lens and solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. This ensures clear image quality and efficient solar charging. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

5.3 Battery Health

While the solar panel maintains the battery, ensure the solar panel is positioned to receive adequate sunlight. If the camera is in a shaded area for extended periods, occasional manual charging may be necessary to maintain optimal battery health.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Oculview camera, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

6.1 Camera Not Connecting to Wi-Fi

• Check Wi-Fi Band: Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal. The camera does not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
• Signal Strength: Verify that the camera is within range of your Wi-Fi router and has a strong signal. Relocate the camera or use a Wi-Fi extender if necessary.
• Router Settings: Check your router's settings for any MAC address filtering or firewall rules that might be blocking the camera.
• Reset Camera: If issues persist, try resetting the camera (refer to the Ubox app or camera's physical buttons for reset instructions).

6.2 Poor Image Quality or Night Vision

• Clean Lens: Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from dirt, dust, or condensation.
• Lighting Conditions: For color night vision, ensure the spotlight is not obstructed. For IR night vision, ensure there are no reflective surfaces close to the camera that could cause glare.
• App Settings: Check the image quality settings within the Ubox app.

6.3 Motion Detection Issues (Lag or Missed Events)

• Sensitivity Settings: Adjust the motion detection sensitivity in the Ubox app. Higher sensitivity may detect more, but also increase false alarms.
• Placement: Ensure the camera is positioned correctly to capture the desired area. Avoid placing it where constant movement (e.g., tree branches, busy street) might trigger false alarms.
• Recording Duration: Verify the recording duration settings in the app. If set too short, important action might be missed after the initial trigger.

6.4 Battery Not Charging or Draining Quickly

• Solar Panel Exposure: Ensure the solar panel receives direct sunlight for several hours daily. Clear any obstructions (leaves, dirt) from the panel surface.
• Panel Connection: Check that the solar panel cable is securely connected to the camera.
• Activity Level: Frequent motion detection and live view streaming will consume more battery power. Adjust settings to optimize battery life.
• Temperature: Extreme cold or heat can affect battery performance.
