Camera Installation

Installation Preparation

 Installation Preparation

  1. Surface Selection: Choose a clean, smooth, and dry surface for mounting the bracket. Avoid uneven surfaces like wood veneer or plaster walls.
  2. Bracket Mounting: Use the provided positioning stickers and screws to securely attach the bracket to the wall.

NOTE:

  • Avoid Strong Lights: Avoid facing the camera toward strong lights, mirrors, windows, or swimming pools.
  • Minimize Interference: Keep the camera away from outlets, air conditioner vents, humidifiers, and heat vents.
  • Maintain Distance: Position the camera at least 1 meter away from other wireless devices (e.g., microwaves, Wi-Fi routers) to prevent interference.
  • To remove the camera from the wall, press the snap position under the bracket with your finger, and then pull out the camera.

Mounting Position and Angle

Mounting Position and Angle - Step 1

  1. Location: Ensure the camera is unobstructed and within Wi-Fi coverage.
  2. Mounting: Select an appropriate position on the wall to mount the camera.
  3. Angle for Motion Detection:
    Mounting Position and Angle - Step 2
  • Aim the camera to cover the lower two-thirds of the field of view, which is the most sensitive to motion.
  • For close monitoring (e.g., front door), mount the camera 7-10 feet (2-3 meters) high. This helps to focus on closer objects and reduce false alerts from distant movement.
  • For distant monitoring (e.g., yard), mount the camera higher to cover the area within the lower two-thirds of the view.

Best Practices for Motion Detection

Best Practices for Motion Detection

  • Motion Path: Position the camera so that motion moves side-to-side across its view rather than directly toward or away from it.
  • Detection Range: Optimal motion detection occurs within 5 to 20 feet (1.5 to 6 meters) from the camera, though it can detect motion up to 33 feet (10 meters).

Solar Panel Installation

Installation Steps

  1. Use Power Drill and two screws to fix the camera bracket on the wall. Align the screw cap of the bracket with the screw hole on the back of the solar panel and rotate it clockwise to fix it.
  2. Adjust the angle of the solar panel according to the actual environment, and ensure that the front of the panel is facing up (45° angle is the best inclination angle).
  3. Unplug the rubber plug on the surface of the camera charging port, insert the solar panel charging head through the hole on the rubber plug, and then insert it into the camera charging port correctly.
  4. For better waterproof performance, please cover the charging port completely with the rubber plug.

Installation Location

  • Find a location that receives sunlight for most of the day to ensure maximum exposure.
  • The solar panel needs a few hours of direct sunlight to convert solar energy into electricity. The conversion efficiency is affected by weather conditions, seasonal changes, geographic locations, etc.

Installation Angle

Installation Angle

  • Ensure the solar panel is angled to receive direct sunlight.
  • Avoid installing the solar panel completely horizontally to prevent the accumulation of dust and debris. It is advised to install the solar panel at an angle for optimal sunlight exposure.

Installation Precautions

  • Ensure there is no obstruction blocking the solar panel. The energy harvesting efficiency drops significantly even if a small portion of the solar panel is blocked.
  • Wipe the solar panel regularly to remove dust and debris.

Power Saving Settings

Alarm Interval

This function helps avoid repeated alarms for the same event. You can set an alarm interval of different lengths. For example, if the interval is set to 5 minutes, and the camera is triggered at 08:00, you will receive an alarm message, but will not receive another alarm notification within the next 5 minutes, even if motion detection continues.
NOTE: This function is off by default. You can enable it as needed.

Recording Time

You can set different recording lengths. For example, if the recording length is set to 10 seconds, after the camera is triggered, you can view a 10-second alarm video in the history of cloud playback.
Recording Time

Alarm Plan

You can set a weekly or daily alarm schedule as needed. For example, if the camera's working hours are set from 0:00 to 1:00, the camera will only be triggered and record alarm video during this period.
NOTE: Up to 4 time periods can be set for the alarm schedule.

Battery Management

Battery Life and Safety Instructions
This camera is not designed for 24/7 operation and 24/7 recording, but designed for recording events which can be viewed remotely.

Reasons for short battery life Solutions to improve battery life
The PIR sensor is frequently triggered, repeatedly waking up the camera to work.
  1. Reduce the sensitivity of motion detection.
  2. Enable the humanoid detection function.
  3. Set the alarm area.
  4. Avoid the camera facing the roadside or crowded places.
Frequent and long-term remote viewing of videos on mobile phones Reduce the frequency and time of watching videos remotely
The network is very poor, causing the camera to search the network frequently and automatically Determine whether the 4G network signal around the camera is poor, avoid objects that interfere with the signal around, and move the camera to a position with better signal
In low temperature and cold weather, battery performance will be reduced and solar charging efficiency will decrease In cold weather, reduce the sensitivity of motion detection, turn on the humanoid detection function, set the alarm area, and reduce the working time of the camera
Inefficient or no charging of solar panels
  1. Ensure that the solar panel can receive sufficient sunlight
  2. Check whether the solar panel is faulty
  3. Regularly clean the surface of the panel
  4. Check whether the charging port is in poor contact or faulty
Camera consumes power faster than solar charging efficiency Refer to the solution above

NOTE: If the above attempts still cannot solve the problem of short battery life, Please contact the brand's after-sales email for assistance.
