- Battery Draining Quickly: Verify the solar panel is receiving sufficient direct sunlight. Reduce the frequency of motion detection alerts or live view sessions if not critical, as these consume more power. Ensure the camera is fully charged initially.
- Poor Video Quality: Check for obstructions on the camera lens and clean it if necessary. Ensure the camera is within a strong 4G signal area.
- Motion Detection Not Working: Adjust the PIR motion sensor sensitivity settings in the app. Ensure the detection area is clear of constant movement (e.g., swaying branches) that might trigger false alarms.
