Important Safeguards on Rechargeable Battery Use

App Cam Solo 2K 4G PT is not designed for 24/7 full capacity running or around-the-clock live streaming. It’s designed to record motion events and remotely view live streaming only when you need it.

1. Please charge the rechargeable battery with a standard and high-quality DC 5V or 9V battery charger.
2. If you want to power the battery via the solar panel, please note that the battery is ONLY compatible with Uniden solar panel. You cannot charge the battery with other solar panel brands.
3. Please charge the battery in temperatures between 0°C and 40°C.
4. Always use the battery in temperatures between -20°C and 60°C.
5. Always make sure the USB charging port is clean.
6. Please keep the USB charging port dry, clean and free of any debris and make sure the battery contacts are aligned.
7. Please cover the USB charging port with the rubber plug after the battery has been fully charged.
8. Never charge, use or store the battery near any ignition sources, such as fire or heaters.
9.  Always store the battery in a cool, dry and ventilated environment.
10. Never store the battery with any hazardous or combustible objects.
11. Do keep the battery away from children.
12. 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.
13. Do NOT disassemble, cut, puncture, short-circuit the battery, or make it dispose of in water, fire,microwave ovens and pressure vessels.
14. 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.
15.  Always follow the local waste and recycle laws when throwing the used battery away.
16. All rechargeable batteries are consumables and have a limited lifespan—eventually their capacity and performance decline.

Attention for Camera Installation

For outdoor use, please install the App Cam Solo 2K 4G PT upside down in order to maximize the weatherproof performance and the PIR motion sensor’s efficiency. For indoor use, the camera can be placed upright, but please make sure to place it at a maximum of 2.5 meters from the ground

PIR Sensor Detecting Distance

The PIR senor has 3 range of 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 5 meters| Up to 10 meters
Mid| 51 – 80| Up to 8 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

• Pease install the camera 2-3 meters above the ground. The detection range of the motion sensor would be maximized at such a height.
• For effective motion detection, please install the camera angularly and the angle between the PIR sensor and the detected object must be larger than 10°.
• Due to the limitation of PIR sensor detection, if a moving object approaches the PIR sensor vertically (the direction of the orange arrow in the image), the camera may fail to detect motion.

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.

Note:

• When in rotating status, the camera will record motion detection videos when the PIR sensor is triggered, but will not send any push or email notifications.

How to Install Plastic Mount

• Step 1
  Drill holes in accordance with the mounting hole template and screw the plastic mount to the wall. If you are mounting the camera to a masonry or on any other hard surface, remember to insert the plastic anchors into the hole.

• Step 2
  Install the antenna to the camera.

• Step 3
  Screw the camera to the security mount and adjust to the proper direction .

NOTE:
For better 4G signal strength, it is best to install the antenna upwards or horizontally.

How to Mount the Camera to the Ceiling

Loosen the screw on security mount and remove the ceiling bracket from the mount.

How to Attach the Camera to a Tree

• You are allowed to strap the camera to a tree with both the security mount and ceiling bracket. Thread the provided strap to the plate and fasten it to a tree. Next, attach the camera to the plate and you are good to go.
