POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
• Ensure that the power switch on the main body has been turned to the AUTO
position.
• Ensure that the motion sensor has been positioned to face oncoming
movement.
• Ensure that the battery has been fully charged in direct sunlight for 3 sunny
days. Refer to the "How to Install Your Solar Security Video Camera and
Floodlight" section on page 3.
• Check to see that the solar panel is facing south so that it receives direct
sunlight for most of the day, enabling the battery to fully charge.
• Check to see that the LUX control has not been set too far towards the moon
symbol. Setting the LUX control too far towards dark ( ) will cause the video
camera floodlight to turn on only in complete darkness.
• Check to see that the motion sensor is not near night time light sources such
as street lights.
• Moving trees, traffic, pets or birds may be getting in the area of detection. This
may be unavoidable; however the sensor could be redirected to a height where
this is less likely to occur.
• If there are reflective objects in the detection area such as windows, water, or
white walls, you may need to redirect or possibly reposition the motion sensor.
• Test the motion sensor by covering it completely with cardboard and waiting
several minutes to make sure it does not detect motion. If the light still switches
on, please contact for further assistance.
• The LUX control may be set too far towards the dark ( ) position.
• Reposition the motion sensor.
• The LUX control may be set too far towards the light () position.
• Reposition the motion sensor.
• 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.
