4. Follow the app's pairing guide to connect the Base Station and Solar Sensor to your Wi-Fi network.

3.3 Sensor Placement and Installation

Proper placement of the solar sensor is crucial for optimal detection and to minimize false alarms.

• For detecting people, install the solar sensor at a height of 3-4 feet (approx. 0.9-1.2 meters) from the ground, keeping it level and perpendicular to the ground.
• For detecting vehicles, install the solar sensor at a height of 2-3 feet (approx. 0.6-0.9 meters) from the ground, keeping it level and perpendicular to the ground.
• Mount the sensor securely using the provided screws.

4. Operating the System

4.1 Motion Detection and Alerts

The eMACROS Pro 4 utilizes advanced SST PIR (Passive Infrared) technology to detect motion. When motion is detected, the system triggers an alert.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Reducing False Alarms

The system incorporates Self-developed SST PIR Technology to reduce false alerts by 80%. However, if you experience frequent false alarms, consider the following:

• Ensure the sensor is not pointed directly at moving foliage, reflective surfaces, or heat sources (e.g., vents, direct sunlight on dark surfaces) that could trigger the PIR sensor.
• Verify the sensor's mounting height is appropriate for the intended detection target (people vs. vehicles).
• Adjust the sensor's sensitivity settings if available in the app or on the device.

6.2 Connectivity Issues

• Confirm your Wi-Fi network is 2.4 GHz. The system is not compatible with 5 GHz networks.
• Ensure the base station is within range of your Wi-Fi router.
• Restart your Wi-Fi router and the base station.
