6. Troubleshooting

• False Alerts: Adjust the PIR + AI human detection sensitivity settings within the aosu app. Ensure the camera's field of view is optimized to minimize detection of irrelevant motion (e.g., passing cars on a public street).
• Solar Panel Not Charging: Verify the solar panel is positioned to receive maximum direct sunlight. Clean the panel surface if dirty. Solar performance can be reduced in winter or overcast conditions.
• Connectivity Issues: Ensure the aosuBase is securely connected to your router via Ethernet. Check your Wi-Fi signal strength at the camera locations. If the router is far from cameras, consider repositioning the aosuBase or using a Wi-Fi extender.
• Night Vision Clarity: Ensure there are no obstructions directly in front of the camera lens. For optimal full-color night vision, ensure the camera's spotlight is enabled and functioning.
• Event Deletion Issues: If experiencing difficulty deleting events in bulk, try deleting them individually or ensure a stable network connection.
• Camera Not Responding After Power Outage: If a camera becomes unresponsive after a power outage, try resetting the camera by powering it off and on again.
