Common Issues and solutions of Saurally Solar Camera
Saurally Solar Camera is built and sold as an off-grid surveillance system with high reliability and security. Nevertheless, as an outdoor computing device, it may face certain issues that are beyond company's control. We have enlisted such issues with DIY solutions.
Common issues of solar CCTV cameras and their corresponding solutions are as follows:
- Reduced solar power generation: During cloudy days or low sunlight conditions, the solar panel may not generate enough power to keep the camera running.
- Solution: Ensure that the solar panel is positioned correctly to receive maximum sunlight exposure. Regularly clean the solar panel surface from dust, dirt, or debris that can block sunlight absorption. Consider using a larger or more efficient solar panel for better power generation.
- Battery drain or failure: The camera's battery may drain quickly or fail to hold a charge, affecting the camera's operation during nighttime or when sunlight is insufficient.
- Solution: Saurally batteries are capable of handling frequent charging and discharging without significant degradation. In most cases, the battery voltage come back to normal once the region gets sufficient sunlight. Please wait for 3 says of continuous sunny days, if the problem persists, please intimate us via opening a service ticket along with your location.
- 4G Connectivity issues: Wireless signal (4G) disruptions due to environmental factors can lead to connectivity problems with the monitoring system.
- Solution: Use a service provider that has best reach and service in your region.
- Water damage: Exposure to flooding can lead to water ingress, damaging the camera and its internal components.
- Solution: Turn off the camera, let the instrument and circuits dry thoroughly. The system should return to working condition. Alternatively, Install the camera in a weatherproof housing designed to keep out moisture. Ensure that all cable connections and entry points are properly sealed. Position the camera away from areas prone to water accumulation.
- Wind damage: Strong winds can dislodge or damage the camera, especially if it is not securely mounted.
- Solution: Use a sturdy mounting bracket or pole designed to withstand high winds. Ensure all screws and connections are tightly secured. Consider installing a protective shield around the camera to reduce wind impact.
- Theft and vandalism: Solar CCTV cameras installed in remote or unsecured areas may be susceptible to theft or vandalism.
- Solution: Install the camera in a location that is not easily accessible or visible to potential vandals or thieves. Use tamper-resistant housing and mounting brackets. Implement additional security measures, such as installing motion-activated lights or alarms.
Regular maintenance, periodic checks, and choosing high-quality solar CCTV camera systems can help mitigate these common issues and ensure reliable performance throughout the camera's lifespan.
