③ Angle for Motion Detection: - 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.
7.3 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).
8. Solar Panel Installation 8.1 Installation Steps ① Mount the bracket using the mounting template and the screws provided in the package. ② Loosen the adjusting control on the bracket and adjust the angle of the solar panel to receive direct sunlight. ③...
8.3 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.

12. Power Saving Settings 12.1 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.
12.3 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.
