Setting Up

NOTE:
Please don't remove the whole rubber plug of the camera / doorbell to connect power cable. Just take off the aligned small rubber to connect it. It will be more waterproof.
Please install solar panel according to below picture instruction
Please choose the best installation location and adjust to a suitable angle to ensure that the solar panels get sufficient sunlight. It is recommended to place the solar panels horizontally, and then tilt south. (If your location is in the Southern Hemisphere, please tilt north). The tilt angle of solar panels is determined according to the local latitude. (If the local latitude is 55ºN, please tilt the solar panel south to 55º)

Please Note:

1. In the cloudy days, under the shade, morning, and evening, the current Of solar panel is small due to insufficient sunlight. When the charging current is less than 50mA, the camera won't be charged. This is a normal phenomenon, please don't worry. When the sunlight is sufficient, the solar panel will continue to charge the camera.
2. When connecting the solar panel to the camera, the charging status (charging icon) will not be displayed immediately. Please exit the current interface and enter the live video interface, then the charging icon will be displayed
3. Solar charging is a slow charging method, and the purpose is to increase battery life. But it doesn't mean that you no longer need to use the power adapter to charge the camera. For example: when the camera is triggered by motion frequently or you view the video in the app frequently, the camera will consume battery power very fast. When the power consumption is larger than the charging volume, solar panel cannot provide sufficient power for the camera. In this case, you need to use the power adapter to charge the camera.

1. What may affect the efficiency of solar panel?
   Your solar panel may not be able to keep your camera/doorbell fully charged on days that are snowy, cloudy, gloomy, or rainy or during periods of extensive use (frequent access or constant triggers). External factors, such as shade, temperature, weather, and amount Of dust or debris on its surface, may also affect the effective of solar panel in generating electricity.
2. How to optimize the efficiency Of solar panel?
   The amount of energy produced by the solar panel depends on several factors: average sun exposure, weather conditions, tilt angle, duct or debris. For optimizing the effectiveness of your solar panel, YOU MAY:
   • Mount your solar panel in well-lit places and avoid locations like the shadow of trees, buildings, or other obstacles to ensure sufficient sunlight.
   • Adjust the direction of your solar panel to face the true south in the Northern Hemisphere) or the true north (in the Southern Hemisphere) and tilt it to appropriate angle according to your latitude to ensure maximum sun exposure. Wipe the surface of the solar panel with wet tissue or cloth regularly to remove the dust and debris on the panel's surface.
