4.1 Enerġija Solari

The security system is designed for continuous operation with solar power. Just 3 hours of direct sunlight each day are typically sufficient to power the outdoor cameras. A built-in battery ensures continuous operation during nighttime or periods of low sunlight.

4.2 Kura tal-Batterija

To prolong battery life and prevent damage, ensure batteries are charged at room temperature. Avoid exposing batteries to extreme temperatures.

5.1 Why can I not see continuous live video on the monitor?

Because the cameras automatically enter standby mode to save power. As a thermal detection security system powered by solar and batteries, the system works when activities are detected and standby when there is no activity.

5.2 Does the system have to be connected to a monitor all the time?

No. Connecting the NVR to your TV or monitor enables you to enter the NVR's menu. It is necessary for the initial setup. After the setup is completed, you can view the NVR from your smartphone or tablet. If you are using a TV, you can switch the signal source to TV programs and switch back to this HDMI connection when needed.

5.3 Do the battery/solar cameras record 24/7?

Yes, but not by default. All solar/battery-powered security cameras record motion-triggered activities only. If you need 24/7 cameras, please go for Wi-Fi security camera systems with plug-in power. You can also plug this camera to power with a 5V DC phone charger, then switch to Modalità ta' Reġistrazzjoni Kontinwa to make it work 24/7.

5.4 Why do my cameras run out of batteries fast?

1. Make sure to fully recharge your cameras before you mount them. It should take 4-6 hours to fully charge them.
2. When you are using solar panel as the power source, make sure the camera is in Event Record Mode. If you want the cameras to work in Continuous Record Mode, plug the cameras to wall outlets with 5V power chargers.
3. Kun żgur li l-pannell solari tiegħek huwa installat sew biex tikseb l-enerġija solari.

5.5 Do I have to use the cameras with solar panels?

No, you can use the cameras without solar panels. The cameras' batteries last 45-120 days depending on how often they are activated. You will need to take the cameras down for recharge. With solar panels, they replenish power to batteries every day. It saves the troubles to take cameras down for recharge.
