3. Setup Guide

3.1 Initial Charging and Power On

Before first use, ensure the NVR monitor and cameras are sufficiently charged. Connect the 5V2A power adapter to the NVR monitor. The cameras are solar-powered and have built-in rechargeable batteries. For initial setup or if the battery is low, charge the cameras using the provided Type-C cables.

3.2 Camera Placement and Installation

The cameras are 100% wire-free, offering flexible placement. Choose locations with optimal sunlight exposure for continuous solar charging. Ensure the cameras are within the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi range of the NVR monitor for stable connection. Use the provided camera brackets and screws for secure mounting.

• Optimal Sunlight: Position cameras where they receive at least 3 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Wi-Fi Range: While the system works locally without internet, the cameras connect wirelessly to the NVR. Ensure good signal strength.
• Mounting: Securely attach the camera brackets to a wall or desired surface using the provided screws. Adjust the camera angle for optimal viewing.

4.3 Smart AI Motion Detection and Alerts

The system features PIR sensors and AI detection to accurately identify human movement, reducing false alarms. When motion is detected, you will receive instant alerts on your phone via the CloudEye 365 APP.

• Customized Detection Zones: Define specific areas on the screen where you want motion detection to be active, focusing on critical zones and ignoring irrelevant movements.
• Light Alarm: The cameras can trigger a light alarm upon motion detection, especially useful at night to deter intruders.
