6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the Camera and Solar Panel

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your camera.

• Gently wipe the camera lens and solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris.

6.2 Battery Care

The built-in battery is designed for long-term use with solar charging. To maximize battery life:

• Ensure the solar panel receives adequate sunlight daily.
• If the camera is installed in an area with consistently low sunlight, periodically charge the camera using the power adapter to prevent deep discharge.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Camera Not Connecting to WiFi

• Ensure your WiFi network is 2.4GHz. The camera does not support 5Ghz networks.
• Check your WiFi password for accuracy.
• Move the camera closer to your WiFi router to improve signal strength.
• Restart your router and the camera.

7.2 No Live View or Recording

• Verify the camera is powered on and connected to WiFi.
• Check the battery level in the app. If low, ensure the solar panel is receiving sunlight or charge via the power adapter.
• Ensure the Micro SD card is correctly inserted and not full. Format the card if necessary.
• Check your internet connection on your mobile device.

7.3 Motion Detection Not Working or Too Many False Alarms

• Ensure PIR motion detection is enabled in the app settings.
