7. Troubleshooting

• Camera not turning on: Ensure the camera is fully charged with a slow charger before first use.
• Short battery life: Verify the solar panel receives adequate direct sunlight. Reduce power-hungry options like frequent PTZ adjustments or continuous color night vision. Ensure initial full charge.
• Wi-Fi connection issues: Ensure your router operates on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, as 5GHz is not supported. Check Wi-Fi signal strength at the camera's location using the app's site survey tool. Relocate the camera or use a Wi-Fi extender if the signal is weak.
• Pan/Tilt controls unresponsive or erratic: This can be due to a weak Wi-Fi signal. Improve signal strength or reset the camera if the issue persists.
• False motion alerts: Adjust motion sensitivity settings and customize detection zones within the ANRAN app to focus on relevant areas and minimize triggers from pets or environmental factors.
• No recording to MicroSD card: Ensure the MicroSD card is correctly inserted, formatted within the app, and is a Class 10 card (8-128GB).
• App loading slowly: Ensure your mobile device has a stable internet connection.
• Camera unresponsive after frequent alerts: A camera reset may resolve this.
