After successfully importing the APN, please re-add the 4G camera.

10/Charge the Camera

It is recommended to fully charge the camera battery before installing the camerd outdoors.

Charge the camera with a standard and high-quality 5V power adapter(not included)

Use the solar panel to charge the camera

Charging indicator (at the top left of the lens):

• Red LED: Charging
• Blue LED: Charging completed

Note: For better weather resistance, insert the charging port of the solar panel into the rubber plug, and the rubber plug fully covers the charging port.

Safety Reminder: Do not use a non-5V power adapter to charge the camera, and do not charge near fire and heaters. If the battery emits odor, hegt, deformation and other abnormal conditions during the charging process, please stop charging or using it immediately.

11/Install the camera

Notes before installation:

• In order to ensure that the camera can obtain a good network signal, please install the camera in a location with good signal and no signal interference.
• In order to avoid frequent alarms and rapid battery consumption, do not point the camera directly at the road or in crowded places.
• Make sure there are no reflections within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of the PIR sensor, otherwise it will interfere with the normal function of the sensor.

• For outdoor use, the camera must be installed forward for better waterproof performance and better PIR motion sensor efficiency.
• In order to ensure better waterproof performance, after installation, please ensure that all rubber plugs on the surface of the camera are covered.
• In order to better connect the 4G network, it is recommended to install the antenna upward or horizontally.
• Install the camera 2-3 meters (7-10ft) above the ground. This height maximizes the detection range of the PIR motion sensor.

• Do not place the camera exactly in the direction of the intruder’s movement. The angle formed by the connection between the PIR sensor and the intruder and the intruders walking route must be greater than 20 degrees.

Note: As shown in the picture, the red dotted line is the usual intrusion path of the intruder, then point A is the best installation location for the camera, if it is installed at point B, it may cause a missed alarm.

Installation Step:

Step 1: Use Power Drill and two screws to fix the camera bracket on the wall.lt is recommended that the bracket be 7-10 ft above the ground (2-3 meters).

Step 2: Clip the camera base into the bracket from top to bottom,and the installation is completed.

Note: To remove the camera from the wall, press the snap position under the bracket with your finger, and then pull out the camera.

12/Install the Solar Panel

Please use the plastic brackets and screws included in the box to install the solar panel.

Step 1: Using the power rill and screws, fasten the plastic bracket of the solar panel to the wall.

Note: In order to obtain the best charging efficiency, the solar panel must be installed in a location with sufficient sunlight (it is recommended that there be no light shielding around), and the daily light time can be guaranteed to be more than 4 hours.

Step 2: 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.

Step 3: 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).

Step 4: Unplug the rubber plugon 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.

Step 5: For better waterproof performance, please cover the charging port completely with the rubber plug.

Note: To ensure the charging efficiency of the solar panel, please clean the panel surface regularly.

Note: In rainy days and cold winters, the charging efficiency of the solar panel will be very low. lf the battery of the camera will run out, please remove the camera, take it indoors and use the 5V power adapter to fully charge it, and then install it back.
