4.2 Battery Management
The camera's low-power design and solar charging system are optimized for extended battery life. If the camera is installed in an area with insufficient sunlight, or during prolonged periods of cloudy weather, the battery level may drop. Monitor the battery status in the FONDAL app and, if necessary, manually charge the camera using the USB cable.
4.3 Weather Protection
The LITYMOL ZY-G2 camera has an IP65 waterproof rating, making it resistant to dust and water jets. While designed to withstand various weather conditions, ensure all covers (e.g., SIM card slot) are securely closed to maintain its waterproof integrity.

5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera not connecting to 4G network | No SIM card, incorrect SIM card insertion, no data plan, poor cellular signal. | Ensure SIM card is correctly inserted and active. Check cellular signal strength at installation location. Verify data plan subscription. |
| Battery not charging or low battery life | Insufficient sunlight, dirty solar panel, prolonged heavy usage. | Relocate camera to an area with more direct sunlight. Clean the solar panel. Reduce motion detection frequency or recording length if possible. Manually charge via USB. |
| Frequent false alarms | PIR sensitivity too high, environmental factors (wind, moving branches). | Adjust PIR sensitivity settings in the FONDAL app to a lower level. Utilize AI detection (if subscribed) for more accurate filtering. Set up specific alarm detection zones. |
| No recording to microSD card | MicroSD card not inserted, card full, card not formatted, faulty card. | Ensure camera is powered off before inserting card. Check card insertion. Format the microSD card via the app. Replace card if faulty. |
| Poor video quality | Dirty lens, low cellular bandwidth, app settings. | Clean the camera lens. Ensure good cellular signal. Check video quality settings in the app. |
