4.1 Physical Installation
The camera and solar panel are designed for easy installation. Ensure you choose a location that provides optimal sunlight for the solar panel and a clear view for the camera.
- Mount the camera at a height of 8-10 feet (2.5-3m) for optimal detection.
- Ensure the camera's distance to the monitoring area is up to 30 feet (9m).
- Avoid directly facing the camera towards the monitoring area to prevent potential blind spots.
- Position the solar panel in a location that receives sufficient sunlight, ideally pointing directly at the sun during midday in summer. The solar panel cable allows for flexible placement within 6.6 ft (2m) of the camera.

7. Troubleshooting
- Camera not connecting to WiFi: Ensure your WiFi network is 2.4GHz. The camera does not support 5GHz networks. Check WiFi signal strength at the installation location.
- Frequent false alarms: Adjust motion detection sensitivity settings in the app. Utilize activity zones to focus detection on critical areas and ignore irrelevant movements.
- Battery draining quickly: Verify the solar panel is receiving adequate direct sunlight. Reduce the frequency of motion detection alerts or adjust recording duration if possible. Ensure the correct 5V 1A adapter is used for direct charging.
- No audio or poor audio quality: Check app settings for microphone and speaker permissions. Ensure no physical obstructions are blocking the speaker or microphone.
- Cannot view 24/7 recording: This battery-powered camera is designed for live view and motion-triggered recording only, not continuous 24/7 recording.
