5. Maintenance
5.1 Battery Replacement
When battery levels are low, replace all 8 AA batteries. Consider using a dedicated solar panel (sold separately) for continuous power supply.
5.2 SD Card Management
The camera supports automatic overwriting of the oldest data when the MicroSD card reaches full capacity. Regularly check the card's health and format it periodically to maintain optimal performance.
5.3 Cleaning
Gently clean the camera lens and PIR sensors with a soft, dry cloth to ensure clear images and accurate detection. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Sensor Not Triggering
The PIR sensor may not function correctly through glass. Ensure the camera has a direct line of sight to the detection area.
6.2 Excessive Battery Drain
Frequent WiFi usage can significantly increase battery consumption. Minimize remote viewing and downloads if battery life is a concern. Adjust PIR sensitivity to reduce unnecessary triggers.
6.3 Image Quality Issues
In dim light conditions (e.g., dusk), image quality may be reduced. Ensure adequate lighting or rely on night vision for optimal results in low-light environments. For distant subjects (8-10m+), facial recognition may be challenging.
6.4 WiFi Connection Issues
The WiFi connection range between the camera and smartphone is limited (e.g., 15-20m). Ensure your smartphone is within close proximity to the camera for stable connection. When connecting via WiFi, a red lamp may flash brightly for several seconds, indicating camera activity.
