5. Troubleshooting

• Camera Not Connecting/Offline:
  • Ensure the aosuBase is powered on and connected to your network.
  • Verify that the camera is within range of the aosuBase's Wi-Fi signal. A strong Wi-Fi signal is crucial for initial setup and stable operation.

  • Confirm the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight for at least 2 hours daily.
  • Check the USB-C cable connection between the solar panel and the camera.
  • Note that solar charging may stop in temperatures below -5°C (23°F); the device will then run on battery power.
• Frequent False Alerts:
  • Adjust the motion detection sensitivity settings in the aosu app.
  • Refine your custom activity zones to exclude areas with irrelevant motion (e.g., public sidewalks, swaying trees).
  • Ensure AI detection for human/vehicle/pet is enabled if you wish to filter out other types of motion.
• Poor Video Quality:
  • Clean the camera lens to remove any dirt or smudges.
  • Ensure adequate lighting for night vision modes.
  • Check your network bandwidth, especially if experiencing lag during live view.
