6. Maintenance
6.1 Solar Panel Care
Regularly clean the surface of the solar panel to ensure optimal charging efficiency. Dust, dirt, or debris can reduce its ability to convert sunlight into power.

7. Troubleshooting
- Camera not connecting to WiFi: Ensure your WiFi network is 2.4Ghz. Verify the WiFi password is correct. Move the camera closer to the router during setup.
- No motion detection alerts: Check PIR sensitivity settings in the app. Ensure the camera's view is not obstructed. Verify app notifications are enabled on your smartphone.
- Poor night vision: Ensure the camera lens is clean. Check if the night vision mode is correctly selected in the app (color or infrared).
- Battery not charging: Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check the connection between the solar panel and the camera.
- Recording issues: Verify an SD card is inserted and formatted correctly (if using local storage). Check the remaining storage space on the SD card.
- Too many alerts: Adjust the PIR sensitivity settings in the app. You can also set specific monitoring areas to reduce unnecessary alerts.
