PROBLEM
Night videos show
very dark footage
Videos only show
ground.
There are videos
with nothing moving
in them.
It looks like there
should be more
footage at the
beginning of the
video.
Should there be a
video immediately
after switching the
light to AUTO?
Should there be a
video of me turning
the light OFF
How do I know
the camera is
recording?
Light is not as bright
as normal.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
• The LUX dial may be pointed too far towards the (). This prevents the light
from activating unless it is extremely dark. Turn the LUX dial so it is halfway
between the () and the ( ). This sets the product so the light activates at
dusk. Your videos should now have more light. If the light still does not activate
early enough, continue to turn the LUX dial towards the () until it activates
at an acceptable time.
• Something may have activated the motion sensor but never made it within
the field of view of the camera. The motion sensor has a field of view of 180°,
but the camera only has a field of view of 110°. Also, the motion sensor has
a range of 40 feet, but the camera can only see things up to 25 feet away
when it is dark, so the object that activated the camera may be too far away
to appear on the video.
• The motion sensor and camera may be pointed too low. Try raising them to
direct them more towards the desired area. Aim for where a person's torso and
head would appear.
• Something may have activated the motion sensor but never made it within
the field of view of the camera. The motion sensor has a field of view of 180°,
but the camera only has a field of view of 110°. Also, the motion sensor has
a range of 40 feet, but the camera can only see things up to 25 feet away
when it is dark, so the object that activated the camera may be too far away
to appear on the video.
• There is a one (1) second delay between when the video camera floodlight is
activated and when the camera starts recording. This means moving objects
may be well within the field of vision of the camera when the video starts.
• No, the video camera floodlight performs a test activation when it is first
switched to AUTO. No video is recorded during this test.
• No. The camera does not save a video if switched OFF while recording.
• You will see a blinking red light in the motion sensor and on the bottom of the
camera module, denoting the camera is recording.
• NOTE: The exception to this rule is when the video camera floodlight is
performing the test activation when the switch is put in the AUTO position.
You will see the blinking lights, but the camera will not be recording for the
test activation.
• Move the LUX control more to the dark ( ) position.
• Move the TIME control towards the (-) position to have shorter videos.
• Battery charge may be low. Turn the power switch to the OFF position and
charge the battery for three (3) sunny days with the solar panel placed in
direct sunlight. If the battery does not charge, call this manufacturer for a
replacement.
