4. Physical Installation

Choose a suitable outdoor location for your camera and solar panel.

Maintenance

1. Battery Management

The camera's solar panel is designed to keep the battery charged. However, in periods of prolonged low sunlight or heavy usage, manual charging may be required approximately once every three months. Use the provided charging cable to connect the camera to a standard USB power adapter.

2. Cleaning

Periodically clean the camera lens and solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. This ensures optimal image clarity and solar charging efficiency. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Camera Not Connecting to Wi-Fi

  • Ensure your Wi-Fi router is within range and broadcasting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks.
  • Verify that the Wi-Fi password entered in the Osaio app is correct.
  • Restart your router and the camera, then attempt the pairing process again.
  • Confirm your phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the camera during setup.

Frequent False Motion Alerts

  • Adjust the motion detection sensitivity settings within the Osaio app. Lowering the sensitivity can help reduce alerts from minor movements like swaying branches or small animals.
  • Ensure the camera is not pointed directly at busy public areas or objects that frequently move.

Solar Panel Not Charging Effectively

  • Verify that the solar panel is positioned in an area that receives direct sunlight for the majority of the day.
  • Clean the surface of the solar panel regularly to remove any dirt, dust, or obstructions that may hinder sunlight absorption.
  • Check the connection cable between the solar panel and the camera to ensure it is securely attached.
  • In prolonged cloudy weather, manual charging of the camera may be necessary.

Poor Night Vision Quality

  • Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from smudges or dirt.
  • Check for any obstructions directly in front of the camera that might reflect infrared light, causing glare.
  • Verify that the spotlight is enabled in the app if you desire color night vision.
