Camera Installation
•Mount the camera at a height between 2,2 to 2,5 meters above the ground to optimize
the PIR motion sensor's detection range.
•To enhance motion detection performance, consider installing the camera at an angle. A
downward tilt angle of approximately 10° is recommended.
Note:
1. When a moving object approaches the PIR sensor vertically, motion detection may be
compromised. The camera's angle influences the detection distance.
2. Keep in mind that the Pan & Tilt angle can impact the PIR detection range.
Mounting Height:
2,2 –2,5 Meters
PIR Detection Distance:
2 –9 Meters

Mounting The Camera
1. Utilize the drill hole position template to indicate the screw holes on the desired area of
the wall. Proceed to create holes using the drilling tool and insert the expansion nuts into
these holes.
2. Attach the bracket to the wall using the screws provided in the package.

Solar Panel Installation
1. Choose a location with maximum sunlight throughout the year for your solar panel. The
Foscam solar panel requires only a few hours of direct sunlight each day to effectively power
your camera. Keep in mind that energy production may vary due to weather conditions,
seasonal changes, geographic locations, etc.
2. Attach the bracket to the desired spot using the provided mounting template and screws.
The ideal angle for the camera equals the local attitude plus 5 degrees

17
3. Slide the solar panel into the bracket securely.
4. Loosen the adjusting control on the bracket and position the solar panel to receive direct
sunlight. Once adjusted, tighten the adjusting control to lock your preferred angle in place.
5. Connect the solar panel to the Foscam Battery camera with the USB Type-C cable.

18
Caution
1. Ensure that there are no obstructions on the solar panel as even a small blockage can
significantly reduce its energy harvesting efficiency.
2. Avoid installing the solar panel completely horizontally to prevent easy accumulation of
dust and debris. It is advisable to install it at an angle to receive direct sunlight.
3. Regularly wipe the solar panel to keep it free from dust and debris.
4. Be aware that the charging adapters mentioned are for indoor use only and are not
waterproof.
Note: When charging the device, ensure
to use the type-c cable provided in the
package. Additionally, after use, be sure
to tightly close the cover to prevent water
leakage, which could lead to camera
failure.
5. Avoid charging by plugging the adapter charging cable into the tail cable.

19
6. Connect the USB Type-C port on the solar panel to the tail cable on the camera, ensuring
you hear a "click" to ensure waterproofing.
