Power Management

Solar panel provides supplemental power to extend camera battery life.

Charging efficiency varies with sunlight intensity and duration.
Panel works best with direct sunlight; performance reduced in cloudy conditions.
Camera will prioritize solar power when available, preserving battery.
Insufficient sunlight may require occasional battery charging via traditional methods.
Monitor battery level through Ezviz app for optimal performance.

WARNING! Do not attempt to charge non-compatible devices. Use only with specified Ezviz cameras.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance.

Clean panel surface monthly with soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
Check mounting hardware quarterly for tightness and corrosion.
Inspect cable regularly for damage or wear.
Clear snow, leaves, or other obstructions from panel surface.
Verify LED indicator status during routine checks.

CAUTION! Do not use abrasive cleaners or high-pressure water on panel.
