KNOW YOUR SOLAR PANEL
- The energy your Solar Panel produces will change based on the season and weather conditions.
To optimize your Solar Panels effectiveness:
- Choose a location that receives the most amount of sunlight daily/yearly.
- Regularly clean the solar panel with a soft damp cloth to wipe away any dust or debris.
INSTALLING YOUR SOLAR PANEL
- Install the Solar Panel within 3m of your Connect Smart Home Camera.
- Secure the Wall Mount Bracket using the provided Screw Set.
- Attach the Solar Panel to the affixed mount.
- Adjust the angle of the Solar Panel so that it receives the maximum amount of daily sunlight.
Note: You may need to adjust the angle of the Solar Panel throughout the year based on the seasons.
CONNECTING TO A CONNECT SMARTHOME CAMERA
- Connect the USB cable from the Solar Panel to the power input of your Connect Smart Home Camera.
- Use the included cap to create a weatherproof seal with the cable and the camera.
- With approx. 3 – 4 hours of strong direct sunlight daily the Solar Panel should be able to recharge and power your Connect Smart Home Camera.
TIPS FOR SAFE CHARGING
Many devices these days come with built-in batteries or can use rechargeable batteries to help reduce waste. Here are some handy tips which will help prolong your batteries and provide a safe environment when charging.
Avoid overcharging
- Disconnect chargers and devices after the battery reaches a full charge. Leaving devices on a charger too long can cause them to overheat and can reduce battery life.
Pick the right charger
- Only use the charger and cable that came with your device. If using an alternative charger, always follow the manufacturer’s recommend charger requirements. Take special care to match the correct voltage and amp values your device requires when picking a charger. Chargers are designed for specific battery types; mixing chargers and batteries could result in unexpected problems.
Charge only on non-flammable surfaces
- Devices and chargers can get warm or sometimes place the device and charger on a non-flammable surface when charging. Do not place on beds, pillows, paper, or near any fabric such as curtains or clothing under any circumstances.
Avoid extreme environments
- Do not recharge your devices in environments where extreme temperatures can occur. On particularly hot days do not charge in places such as the inside of a car, or an unairconditioned room. If it’s possible, try and wait till the evening when temperatures are a bit cooler.
Monitor charging
- Recharge your devices while you are nearby, preferably in the same room or another room close by. This way when there is a defective battery or charger, you are able to take it off the power supply immediately.
TROUBLESHOOTING
My Connect Smart Home Camera is not turning on when connected to the Solar Panel.
- For first time users we recommend charging your Connect Home Camera to full using a USB wall adapter, before using with the Solar Panel.
How much power does the Solar Panel Provide to a Connect Smart Home Camera?
- With approx. 3 – 4 hours of direct sunlight a day, the Solar Panel should be able to power and recharge your Connect Smart Home Camera.
- Charging will be dependent on many factors such as the strength of sunlight, how much you use your camera each day, and what model of camera you have e.g. A Connect Floodlight Camera will use more power than a Connect Wireless Camera.
