Setup
1. Initial NVR Setup
- Connect Power: Plug the NVR's power adapter into an electrical outlet. The NVR will power on automatically.
- Monitor Display: The integrated 10-inch monitor will display the system's boot screen.
- Network Connection (Optional): For remote viewing and app functionality, connect the NVR to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Navigate to the NVR's system settings to configure Wi-Fi.
2. Camera Installation and Pairing
The solar cameras and NVR are pre-paired at the factory for plug-and-play setup. Ensure the NVR is powered on before installing cameras.
- Charge Cameras: Fully charge the camera's built-in battery using a USB-C cable before initial installation, especially if solar charging conditions are not optimal immediately.
- Select Mounting Location: Choose a location for each camera that provides the desired viewing angle and receives ample direct sunlight for the solar panel. Ensure the location is within Wi-Fi range of the NVR.
- Mount Cameras: Use the provided screws and anchors to securely mount the cameras. The cameras are IP66 waterproof, suitable for outdoor use.
- Position Solar Panel: Connect the solar panel to the camera using the 3-meter cable. Adjust the solar panel's angle to maximize sun exposure throughout the day.

Operating Instructions
1. Live View and Playback
- NVR Monitor: View live feeds from all connected cameras directly on the 10-inch NVR monitor. Use the NVR's controls (mouse/buttons) to navigate between camera views and access playback.
- Mobile App: Download the dedicated mobile application (e.g., EseeCloud) from your app store. Follow the in-app instructions to add your NVR system for remote viewing and control.
- Playback: Access recorded footage stored on the 500GB HDD. The system supports 24/7 continuous recording and motion-triggered recording. Use the NVR interface or mobile app to select dates and times for playback.
2. PTZ Control (Pan/Tilt/Zoom)
The 4MP PTZ cameras offer 355° horizontal rotation and 90° vertical tilt.
- App Control: Use the mobile application to remotely control the camera's pan and tilt movements.
- NVR Control: Some NVR interfaces may offer direct PTZ control; refer to the NVR's on-screen menu.
Figure 4: The camera provides 360-degree coverage with 355° horizontal and 90° vertical movement, viewable on the mobile app.
3. Human Motion Detection & Alerts
The system utilizes a sensitive PIR sensor to accurately detect human movement, minimizing false alarms.
- Configuration: Access the NVR settings or mobile app to configure motion detection zones and sensitivity.
- Notifications: Upon detection, the system can send instant notifications to your mobile device.
- Recording: Motion-triggered events are recorded and stored on the 500GB HDD.

5. Night Vision
The cameras support both color night vision (with spotlight) and infrared (IR) night vision.
- Automatic Switching: The system automatically switches between day and night modes based on ambient light.
- Color Night Vision: When enabled, the camera's spotlight illuminates the area to provide full-color video in low-light conditions.
- IR Night Vision: Provides clear black-and-white video in complete darkness.

Maintenance
- Solar Panel Cleaning: Regularly clean the surface of the solar panels to ensure maximum sunlight absorption. Dust, dirt, or debris can reduce charging efficiency.
- Camera Lens Cleaning: Gently wipe the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain clear image quality. Avoid abrasive materials.
- Firmware Updates: Check for available firmware updates through the mobile app or NVR system settings. Keeping firmware updated ensures optimal performance and security.
- HDD Management: The 500GB HDD will automatically overwrite older footage when full. If you need to preserve specific recordings, back them up to an external device.
- Battery Health: While solar-powered, extreme weather conditions or prolonged periods without sunlight may affect battery levels. Ensure the solar panel is optimally positioned.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No image on NVR monitor. | NVR not powered on; power adapter issue. | Ensure NVR power adapter is securely connected to both the NVR and a working electrical outlet. Check power indicator light on NVR. |
| Camera not connecting to NVR. | Camera out of range; low battery; pairing issue. | Move camera closer to NVR. Fully charge camera battery. If still not connected, re-pair the camera with the NVR (refer to NVR manual for specific pairing steps). |
| Poor image quality. | Dirty lens; low light; network interference. | Clean camera lens. Ensure adequate lighting for color night vision or switch to IR mode. Reduce Wi-Fi interference by moving NVR or camera. |
| Solar panel not charging camera. | Insufficient sunlight; dirty panel; panel angle. | Ensure solar panel receives direct sunlight for several hours daily. Clean the panel surface. Adjust panel angle for optimal sun exposure. |
| False motion alerts. | High sensitivity; environmental factors (trees, animals). | Adjust motion detection sensitivity settings in the NVR or mobile app. Define specific detection zones to exclude irrelevant areas. |
| Cannot access system remotely via app. | NVR not connected to internet; incorrect app configuration. | Verify NVR is connected to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Ensure correct device ID/QR code is used for app setup. Check router settings for any firewall restrictions. |
