Maintenance

• Solar Panel Cleaning: Regularly clean the solar panel surface to ensure maximum charging efficiency. Dust, dirt, and debris can reduce its performance.
• Battery Care: The integrated 10000mAh Lithium-Ion battery is designed for durability. Avoid prolonged storage in extreme temperatures outside the -20°C to 60°C operating range.
• Firmware Updates: Check the UBox app periodically for any available firmware updates for your camera. Updates can improve performance, add features, or fix bugs.
• Physical Inspection: Periodically inspect the camera and mounting hardware for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections, especially after severe weather.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Camera Disconnects Frequently:

  Ensure the 4G signal strength at the camera's location is adequate. Check the signal indicator in the UBox app.

• SIM Card Not Reading / Camera Offline After Data Depletion:

  If the camera runs out of data (saldo or megas) on its SIM card, it may display red and blue blinking lights and appear offline in the app. Simply recharging the SIM card's data may not be sufficient to restore connection. You may need to physically access the camera and press the SIM card reset button to re-establish the 4G connection.

  Ensure the SIM card is correctly and fully inserted into its slot. Re-inserting the SIM card can sometimes resolve reading issues.

• Poor Video Quality:

  Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from dirt or obstructions. Check the network signal strength; a weak 4G signal can affect streaming quality.

• False Alarms:

  Adjust the PIR detection sensitivity settings in the UBox app. Ensure the camera is not pointed at areas with constant movement (e.g., busy roads, swaying branches) if not intended for detection.

• Battery Not Charging:

  Verify that the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight for several hours daily. Check the connection between the solar panel and the camera. Ensure the solar panel is not obstructed.
