2. Make sure the password correction of the Wi-Fi is. (Note: the password of the WIFI cannot include a single quote, underline, space, and virgule (/).
3. Check the number of devices your router is connected to. In general, the router has a connection limit. Once the devices that your router connected excess its max limit numbers, other devices will not connect the router
4. Make sure the QR code on the phone screen is normal and the distance between the phone and the camera lens is 10-15cm (3.9-5.9inch) during the scanning process.
5. After checking the above information, if the camera cannot connect the Wi-Fi, please try to re-download the APP, reset the camera and restart the router, and then add the camera again.
6. If you tried all steps, but still no luck, please message your order and problem to foaood@520service.com.

Battery life

• If the device does not detect a moving object, the device will enter sleep mode, reducing the power consumption of the device.
• If the device detects a moving object, it quickly wakes up and starts within 1 second and takes screenshot with recorded video.

Warm fip : When the temperature is below-20°C, the battery may enter self- protection mode, which caused the camera automatically be shut down. But if the temperature rises, the battery will automatically return to normal state. At the low temperatures, if you need to charge this camera, please place it onhome several hours first. In room temperature, the self-protection mode of the battery will automatically be shut off to charge this camera safely. Why the battery life of my device is poor?

• A. Please check whether the number of alarms is too frequent. Because the working time of the device determines the battery life. The more frequent PIR wake-ups, the faster the battery consume due to the longer working time. It is recommended to appropriately lower the motion detection sensitivity of the device and set the alarm interval and alarm time plan. (Note: Outdoor air conditioning units, moving cars and the passing pedestrians will cause frequent alarms. Please adjust the angle of the device to avoid these objects.)
• B. In cold weather, the battery capacity will be reduced, which will affect the endurance of the device.
• C. Contact customer service: foaood@520service.com

FAQs

For more detailed FAQs, please log in to the APP. Search in “Me”-“FAQ”Help Document”-“Battery Camera”

The device prompts offline?

1. Check whether the equipment is in the power-on state. and observe whether the working light of the equipment is on normally.
2. Check whether the Wi-Fi network is in good condition and restart the router.
3. If the device is located far away from the router, which results in the inability to obtain a good Wi-Fi signal, it is recommended to move the router to a closer place or add a Wi-Fi amplifier to improve the Wi-Fi performance of the home.
4. Delete the camera from your CloudPlus account and add it again after resetting the device. Check whether the device firmware and application program are the latest version.

Update router or WIFI password?

Delete the camera from your CloudPlus account. After resetting the device, use the new Wi-Fi and password to add it again.

Can’t play historical video?

1. Check the status of the SD card in “Settings”to ensure that the SD card has been successfully recognized.
2. Reinsert the SD card.
3. In the application, format the SD card.
4. Try another new SD card.

Alarm push frequently?

1. In the app. lower the sensitivity of the motion detection alarm.
2. Check whether there are objects that interfere with and trigger the PIR sensor in the field of view of the device, such as the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, driving cars, passing pedestrians. etc. The angle of the device can be adjusted appropriately to avoid these easily disturbing objects
3. Turn on “human motion detection”and use humanoid algorithm to filter useless alarms.

The phone cannot receive the alarm push?

1. Turn on all the push permissions of the”CloudPlus”application in the system settings of your mobile phone.
2. Make sure that the device’s motion detection function is successfully turned on.
3. Restart the phone, and clear the cache on Android phones.
4. Check whether the network is good

Solar Panel Installation Ways?

1. The solar panel supports multi-angle adjustment. When adjusting the angle, please loosen the screw before adjusting it.
   Note: If you directly forcibly adjust the angle of the panel without loosening the screw, the bracket will be damaged.

2. The best angle for solar panel installation is 15°-45°, please adjust it appropriately according to the latitude of your area. The basis for adjustment is to let the sun shinedirectly on the solar panel as much as possible to get the best charging efficiency.

3. Insert the USB plug on the solar panel cable through the silicone hole in the charging port on the camera and then into the camera’s USB connector to ensure that the waterproof effect is achieved. Solar Panel FAQs

How to know if the camera is charging when connected to the solar panel?

1. When the charging indicator of the camera is on, it must be charging normally.
2. If it shows charging in Settings-“Basic Functions”.”Power Management”of your App, it means normal charging.
   Tips: The light intensity determines the charging efficiency. When the light is weak, the solar panel can also weakly release electric energy, but due to the low efficiency, it may not be able to accurately display the charging result, but it is actually charging normally.

Why is the camera’s power consumption still too fast when the solar panel is used? The power consumption of the camera depends on its working time. The more frequently the camera works and the longer the working time, the battery power will drop faster. It is possible that the charging efficiency of solar panels is not as fast as the power consumption of cameras. It is recommended to lower the camera’s alarm sensitivity, set the alarm interval, alarm plan, etc to reduce the number and time of the camera’s work

What will affect the charging efficiency of solar panels?

The light intensity and the time/range of the panel receiving sunlight will directly affect the charging efficiency. Snowy, cloudy, dark, and rainy days, or other external factors, such as shade, temperature, and the amount of dust or debris on the surface of the solar panel, will affect the power generation efficiency of the solar panel. It is recommended to clean the attachments on the surface of the panel regularly

How to optimize the efficiency of solar panels?

In order to optimize the efficiency of the solar panel, you can install the solar panel in a well-lit place. Adjust the direction of the solar panel to face south. Clean the surface of the panels regularly.

Why does the solar panel not work normally in the cold winter?

In the cold winter, due to the short sunshine time and insufficient ultraviolet energy, the solar energy will not be absorbed enough to meet the working consumption of the camera. If you encounter this situation, it is recommended to remove the camera and charge the camera directly with the 5V/2A power adapter Prolinx GmbH Brehmstr. 56, 40239 Duesseldorf Germany Prolinx Global LTD 27 Old Gloucester Street London, WCIN 3AX, UK

What should I do if my camera prompts offline?

Check that the equipment is turned on and that the Wi-Fi network is in good condition. If the device is far from the router, move the router closer or add a Wi-Fi amplifier to improve performance.

Why is the battery life of my FOAOOD DF220 Security Camera Wireless Outdoor poor?

The battery life may be poor if the number of alarms is too frequent or in cold weather, which reduces battery capacity. Adjusting motion detection sensitivity and setting alarm intervals and time plans can help improve battery life.

How long does the battery of the FOAOOD DF220 Security Camera Wireless Outdoor last?

The battery life of the camera depends on various factors such as the number of alarms and temperature. If the device does not detect a moving object, it enters sleep mode, reducing power consumption. If the device detects a moving object, it quickly wakes up and starts within 1 second and takes a screenshot with recorded video.

What should I do if my camera fails to connect to Wi-Fi?

Make sure that your Wi-Fi is 2.4GHz and that the password is correct. Check the number of devices connected to your router and ensure that the QR code on your phone screen is normal during the scanning process. If the issue persists, try resetting the camera and restarting the router, or contact FOAOOD customer support.

What should I do if my FOAOOD DF220 Security Camera Wireless Outdoor fails to turn on?

Charge the camera and try turning it on again. If that doesn’t work, press and hold the power key until the camera turns on. If the issue persists, contact FOAOOD customer support.
