4.2 Mounting the Solar Sensors

The outdoor sensors are IP65 weatherproof and designed for easy screw-in installation.

• Location: Choose a location that provides an unobstructed view of the area you wish to monitor (e.g., driveway, entrance). Ensure the solar panel faces the sun for optimal charging.
• Height:
  • For detecting people: Install at a height of 3-4 feet (approx. 0.9-1.2 meters) and keep it level and perpendicular to the ground.
  • For detecting vehicles: Install at a height of 2-3 feet (approx. 0.6-0.9 meters) and keep it level and perpendicular to the ground.
• Installation: Use the provided screws and anchors to securely mount the sensor. The adjustable bracket allows you to angle the sensor for optimal detection.

4.3 Pairing Sensors with Base Station

Each sensor can be assigned to one of four channels on the base station.

1. Power on the base station.
2. Open the cover on the bottom of the solar sensor to access the channel and sensitivity switches.
3. Select a desired channel (CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4) and sensitivity level (High or Low) using the switches.
4. Trigger the sensor by passing your hand in front of it. The base station should sound an alarm and indicate the corresponding channel.
5. Repeat for all sensors, assigning them to different channels if desired.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Alerts:
  • Check if the sensor and base station are powered on.
  • Ensure the sensor is within the 0.5-mile wireless range of the base station.
  • Verify that the sensor and base station are paired to the same channel.
  • Check the sensor's battery level via the app or by observing the LED indicator.
• False Alarms:
  • Adjust the sensor's sensitivity switch (High/Low) to reduce triggers from small animals or environmental factors.
  • Ensure the sensor is not directly facing moving foliage or objects that could trigger it.
  • The SST technology is designed to filter out minor disturbances, but extreme conditions may still cause triggers.
• App Connectivity Issues:
  • Confirm your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The system does not support 5GHz.
  • Ensure your smartphone has a stable internet connection.
  • Restart your Wi-Fi router and the base station.
  • Check app permissions on your smartphone to ensure notifications are enabled.
• Base Station Low Battery Warning: Recharge the base station using the provided USB-C cable and power adapter.
