5.3 Battery Management

The camera is powered by a lithium-ion battery. While the solar panel helps maintain charge, prolonged periods of low sunlight or high activity may deplete the battery. Monitor battery levels via the app and ensure the camera is placed in an area with adequate sunlight for optimal charging.

6. Troubleshooting

• Connectivity Issues: If the camera has a slow connection or frequently disconnects, ensure it is within range of your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi router. Obstructions like thick walls can weaken the signal. Try repositioning the camera or router.
• False Alerts: If you receive too many false alerts, adjust the PIR detection sensitivity settings in the mobile app. You can also define specific motion detection zones to exclude areas with frequent non-threatening movement.
• Insufficient Solar Charging: If the battery level drops despite solar exposure, ensure the solar panel is clean and receives direct sunlight for several hours daily. In areas with consistently low sunlight, consider purchasing an additional solar panel or periodically charging the camera via USB-C.
• Two-Way Audio Problems: If audio is unclear or not working, check the microphone and speaker settings in the app. Ensure there are no physical obstructions and that your phone's volume is adjusted correctly.
• Night Vision Issues: If night vision is poor, ensure the camera's spotlights are clean and unobstructed. Check app settings to confirm color night vision is enabled if desired.
• Camera Not Powering On: Ensure the battery is charged. If the camera does not power on after charging, contact customer support.
