Screw Set.
• Attach the Solar Panel to the affixed mount.
• Adjust the angle of the Solar Panel so that it
receives the maximum amount of daily sunlight.

the seasons.

CONNECTING TO A
CONNECT SMARTHOME
CAMERA
• Connect the USB cable from the Solar Panel to the
power input of your Connect SmartHome Camera.
• Use the included cap to create a weatherproof
seal with the cable and the camera.
•
With approx. 3 – 4 hours of strong direct sunlight
daily the Solar Panel should be able to recharge
and power your Connect SmartHome Camera.

TIPS FOR SAFE CHARGING
• Disconnect chargers and devices after the battery
reaches a full charge. Leaving devices on a
charger too long can cause them to overheat and
can reduce battery life.
Many devices these days come with built-in
batteries or can use rechargeable batteries to help
reduce waste. Here are some handy tips which will
help prolong your batteries and provide a safe
environment when charging.
Avoid overcharging
• Only use the charger and cable that came
with your device. If using an alternative charger,
always follow the manufacturer’s recommend
charger requirements. Take special care to match
the correct voltage and amp values your device
requires when picking a charger. Chargers are
designed for specific battery types; mixing
chargers and batteries could result in
unexpected problems.
Pick the right charger

TIPS FOR SAFE CHARGING
• Devices and chargers can get warm or sometimes
even hot during charging. Make sure to always
place the device and charger on a non-flammable
surface when charging. Do not place on beds,
pillows, paper, or near any fabric such as curtains
or clothing under any circumstances.
Charge only on non-flammable
surfaces
• Do not recharge your devices in environments
where extreme temperatures can occur. On
particularly hot days do not charge in places such
as the inside of a car, or an unairconditioned room.
If it’s possible, try and wait till the evening when
temperatures are a bit cooler.
Avoid extreme environments
• Recharge your devices while you are nearby,
preferably in the same room or another room close
by. This way when there is a defective battery or
charger, you are able to take it off the power
supply immediately.

TROUBLESHOOTING
• For first time users we recommend charging your
Connect Home Camera to full using a USB wall
adapter, before using with the Solar Panel.

not turning on when connected to
the Solar Panel.
• With approx. 3 - 4 hours of direct sunlight a day,
the Solar Panel should be able to power and
recharge your Connect SmartHome Camera.
• Charging will be dependent on many factors such
as the strength of sunlight, how much you use your
camera each day, and what model of camera you
have e.g. A Connect Floodlight Camera will use
more power than a Connect Wireless Camera.
