• Battery Health: While the solar panel maintains the battery, it is recommended to occasionally check the battery level in the app, especially during prolonged periods of low sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Camera Not Connecting to Wi-Fi

• Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The Anona Orbis camera does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi.
• Verify the Wi-Fi password is entered correctly in the app.
• Place the camera closer to your Wi-Fi router during initial setup to ensure a strong signal.
• Restart your Wi-Fi router and the camera.
• If issues persist, try resetting the camera to factory defaults (refer to the app for specific instructions) and attempt the connection process again.

Poor Video Quality or Lag

• Check your Wi-Fi signal strength in the camera's location via the app. A weak signal can cause poor performance.
• Ensure your internet connection speed is adequate for streaming video.
• Clean the camera lens if it appears dirty or smudged.

Battery Not Charging or Draining Quickly

• Confirm the solar panel is installed in a location receiving ample direct sunlight throughout the day.
• Clean the solar panel surface to remove any obstructions.
• Ensure the solar panel cable is securely connected to the camera.
• Frequent motion detections and live view access can increase battery consumption. Adjust sensitivity settings if necessary.

False Motion Alerts

• Adjust the motion detection sensitivity settings in the app.
• Utilize the AI human detection feature to filter out non-human movements.
