Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi | Incorrect Wi-Fi band (5GHz not supported), weak signal, incorrect password. | Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal. Check Wi-Fi password. Move camera closer to the router or use a Wi-Fi extender. |
| No power/camera not charging | Solar panel not receiving enough sunlight, dirty solar panel, faulty connection. | Relocate the solar panel to an area with direct sunlight. Clean the solar panel surface. Check all cable connections. Ensure initial full charge via USB-C. |
| Motion alerts are too frequent/infrequent | PIR sensitivity settings, detection zone configuration. | Adjust PIR sensitivity in the Ubox app (High, Medium, Low). Configure specific activity detection zones to focus on critical areas. |
| Poor video quality at night | Obstructions, distance from subject, environmental factors. | Ensure the camera lens is clean. Verify no obstructions are blocking the night vision sensors. Adjust camera position if necessary. |
| MicroSD card not recording | Card not inserted correctly, card full, corrupted card, unsupported card type. | Reinsert the microSD card. Format the card via the app. Replace with a new card (up to 128GB, Class 10 or higher recommended). |
