3.2 Muntatge de la càmera i del panell solar

Install the camera 2-3 meters (7-10 feet) above the ground. This height maximizes the detection range of the motion sensor. For optimal motion detection, install the camera at an angle rather than directly facing the detection area.

For dome cameras (if applicable to your system), they must be installed upside down for better waterproof performance and motion sensor efficiency.

Ensure the solar panel is positioned to receive 2-3 hours of direct sunlight daily for continuous power.

3.3 Connecting Your System (NVR)

If your system includes an NVR (Network Video Recorder), follow these steps:

1. Connect the NVR to power using the included power adapter. Connect a mouse to the NVR's USB port.
2. Connect the NVR to a PC monitor or TV with an HDMI cable. Skip this step if your NVR has a built-in monitor. A monitor is required for initial setup. After completing the initial setup, your NVR does not need to be connected to a TV or monitor to view o capturar enregistraments.
3. Connect the NVR to your router with an Ethernet cable if you plan to use it remotely. You can also connect the NVR to your router via Wi-Fi through the NVR's Network Setting > Wireless network setting.
4. Follow the on-screen steps of the Startup Wizard on the monitor/TV to complete the initial setup.
5. Turn on the power switch on the battery cameras. You should see each camera appear on your monitor/TV.
6. Bring cameras to desired mounting locations, power them on, and go back to the NVR screen. Wait 5 minutes to see if they stream fluently. If a camera does not stream well, move it to a location with less obstacles in line-of-sight from the NVR.

Note: Select a least interfered Wi-Fi channel so your NVR performs its best Wi-Fi capability. In NVR's menu System setting > Network > NVR Wi-Fi hotspot, feu clic Canal adaptatiu.

3.4 Pairing a New Camera to the NVR

By default, each camera within your NVR kit comes pre-paired to the NVR. If you want to add more cameras, follow these steps:

1. Hold the ON/OFF switch of the camera to turn it on. Make sure the camera is in Mode de sincronització. If not, reset the camera to bring it to Pairing Mode.
2. With the NVR connected to a TV/Monitor, click the '+' icon at the bottom and follow the on-screen guide to pair your camera to the NVR.
3. Un cop emparellada correctament, la nova càmera apareixerà en un camp de vídeo vacant.

Note: Pairing a replacement camera is similar to adding a new add-on camera. You need to delete the old camera from NVR first, and then start pairing the replacement camera to NVR.

3.5 Positioning Your NVR and Cameras

Camera distance from NVR can reach up to 1300 ft. wirelessly in line of sight. Proper placement of the wireless NVR in your home will help ensure you achieve maximum coverage.

5. Manteniment

5.1 Eficiència dels panells solars

Without the solar panel, the camera's batteries can last 45-120 days depending on activation frequency. With solar panels, batteries are replenished daily, eliminating the need for manual recharging.

5.3 Protecció meteorològica

The camera is designed to be weatherproof (IP66 rated). However, ensure all connections are secure and covers are properly sealed to prevent water ingress.

6. Resolució de problemes (preguntes freqüents)

6.1 Why cannot I see continuous live video on the monitor?

Because the cameras automatically enter standby mode to save power. As a thermal detection security system powered with solar and batteries, the system works when activities are detected and stands by when there is no activity.

6.2 Does the system have to be connected to a monitor all the time?

No. Connecting the NVR to your TV or monitor enables you to enter the NVR's menu. It is necessary for the initial setup. After the setup is complete, you can view the NVR from its screen and view the system on your smartphone or tablet.

If you are using a TV, you can switch the signal source to TV programs and switch back to this HDMI connection while needed.

6.3 Does the battery/solar cameras record 24/7?

Yes but not by default. All solar/battery-powered security cameras record motion-triggered activities only. If you need 24/7 cameras, please go for Wi-Fi security camera system with plug-in power.

You can also plug this camera to power with a 5V DC phone charger, then switch to Mode d'enregistrament continu to make it work 24/7.

6.4 Why my cameras run out of batteries fast?

1. Make sure to fully recharge your cameras before you mount them. It shall take 4-6 hours to fully charge them.
2. When you are using solar panel as the power source, make sure the camera is in Event Record Mode. If you want the cameras to work in Continuous Record Mode, plug the cameras to wall outlets with 5V power chargers.
3. Assegureu-vos que el vostre panell solar estigui instal·lat correctament per obtenir energia solar.

6.5 Do I have to use the cameras with solar panels?

No, you can use the cameras without solar panels. The cameras' batteries last 45-120 days depending on how often they are activated. You will need to take the cameras down to recharge when battery is low.

Amb panells solars, reposen energia a les bateries cada dia. Això estalvia la molèstia de desmuntar les càmeres per recarregar-les.
