Battery

This battery powered camera utilizes an advanced low power technology. If there are no movements of human body detected when the camera is powered on, the camera will enter sleep mode.

With a full charge, the camera may work for around 4 months if the camera is woken up/detects the movements of human body for 10 times per day and works for 20s per time.

TIPS:

1. If the camera is woken up frequently or detects the movements of human body for many times, the power of the camera will be consumed quickly. Charging the camera regularly is recommended. The battery in the camera can be charged for 500 times. If we charge the camera once a week, the life span of the battery can extend more than 9 years.

2. An exclusive solar panel for constantly charging the camera is recommended. Contact us for more information about it.

Reducing the False Alarms

• Make sure the PIR sensor of the camera is not facing bright lights (including sunshine, bright lamps, etc.), mirror, windows or glass.
• Do not mount the camera in a place with moving vehicles or streaming people.
• Stay away from air vents of air conditioner or heating sources like stove, lights and refrigerator, etc., to maximize the accuracy of the alarms.
• Keep the camera at least 3.3FT away from wireless devices, like router, mobile device, etc., to avoid wireless interference.
• Please do not scratch or squeeze the PIR sensor to avoid lowering its detection sensitivity.
• A mounting height of 6.6FT is recommended to reduce false alarms caused by the movements of small animals on the ground. If it's required, please mount the camera at a height around 6.6FT.
