Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera offline / No network connection | Weak 4G signal; SIM card not active or out of data; SIM card incorrectly inserted. | Relocate camera to an area with better 4G coverage. Check your SIM card's data plan and ensure it's active. Reinsert the SIM card correctly. |
| Battery not charging | Solar panel is dirty or obstructed; insufficient sunlight; faulty connection cable. | Clean the solar panel. Ensure the panel is positioned to receive direct sunlight for several hours daily. Check the connection cable between the solar panel and camera. |
| Motion detection not working or too many false alarms | Incorrect sensitivity settings; detection zones not configured; environmental factors (e.g., swaying branches, insects). | Adjust motion detection sensitivity in the UCon app. Configure specific detection zones to exclude irrelevant areas. Consider camera placement to minimize environmental triggers. |
| Poor image or video quality | Dirty lens; low light conditions; camera resolution settings. | Clean the camera lens. Ensure adequate lighting for optimal image quality (night vision will activate in low light). Check resolution settings in the app. |
| UCon app connectivity issues | App outdated; phone's internet connection unstable; server issues. | Update the UCon app to the latest version. Ensure your smartphone has a stable internet connection. Try restarting the app or your phone. |
