Important Safeguards on Rechargeable Battery Use

If you want to power the battery via the solar panel, please note that the battery is ONLY compatible with SPS-01 solar panel. You cannot charge the battery with other solar panel brands.
Please charge the battery in temperatures between 0°C and 45°C.
Always use the battery in temperatures between -20°C and 60°C.
Please make sure the battery compartment is clean.
Please keep the USB charging port dry, clean and free of any debris and make sure the battery contacts are aligned.
Always make sure the USB charging port is clean. Please cover the USB charging port with the rubber plug after the battery has been fully charged.
Never charge, use or store the battery near any ignition sources, such as fire or heaters.
Always store the battery in a cool, dry and ventilated environment.
Never store the battery with any hazardous or combustible objects.
Do keep the battery away from children.
Do not short-circuit the battery by connecting wires or other metal objects to the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. Do NOT transport or store the battery with necklaces, hairpins or other metal objects.
Do NOT disassemble, cut, puncture, short-circuit the battery, or make it dispose of in water, fire,microwave ovens and pressure vessels.
Do NOT use the battery if it gives off an odor, generates heat, becomes discolored or deformed, or appears abnormal in any ways. If the battery is being used or charged, remove the battery from the device or the charger immediately, and stop using it.

PIR Sensor Detecting Distance

The PIR senor has 3 sensitivity levels for your adjustment: Low/Mid/High.
Higher sensitivity offers longer detecting distance. The default sensitivity of the PIR sensor is at “Mid”. Path for adjusting distance in App: Device settings-PIR settings

Sensitivity| Value| Detecting Distance (For moving and living things)| Detecting Distance (For moving vehicles)
---|---|---|---
Low| 0 – 50| Up to 4 meters| Up to 10 meters
Mid| 51 – 80| Up to 6 meters| Up to 12 meters
High| 81 – 100| Up to 10 meters| Up to 15 meters

Note:
Higher sensitivity offers longer detecting distance, but it would lead to more false alarms.
You are advised to set up the sensitivity level to “Low” or “Mid” when you install the camera outdoors.

PIR Sensor Installation Angle

When installing the camera, please install the camera angularly (the angle between the sensor and the detect-ed object is larger than 10°) for effective motion detec-tion. If the moving object approaches the PIR sensor vertically, the sensor may not detect the motion events.
For reference:

The PIR sensor’s detecting distance: 6m (by default)
The PIR sensor’s detecting angle: 120° (H)

The Ideal Viewing Distance

The ideal viewing distance is 2-10 meters, which enables you to recognise a human.

Important Notes for Reducing False Alarms

For reducing false alarms, please note that:

Do not install the camera facing any objects with bright lights, including sunshine, bright lamplights, etc.
Do not place the camera too close to a place where there are frequently moving vehicles. The recommended distance between the camera and the vehicle is 15 meters
Stay away from the outlets, including the air conditioner vents, humidifier outlets, the heat transfer vent of projectors, etc.
Do not install the camera facing the mirror.
Do not install the camera where there are strong winds
Keep the camera at least 1 meter away from any wireless devices, including Wi-Fi routers and phones in order to avoid wireless interference.
