3Mobile Application Operation
The C310 is a smart mobile wifi-camera which utilizes a solar power
battery.
● C310 has built-in solar panel and rechargeable battery that make the
camera self sustaining with power. (Varying regions with different
amounts of sunlight will affect the battery life)
● Using solar technology and low power consumption management,
the C310 can operate for an extended time without recharging.
● The C310 is in low power when in sleep mode and recording when in
active mode. It is in sleep mode by default but will switch to active
mode and record when “woken up”.
● The C310 can be manually “woken up” with one-click by a mobile
phone anywhere.
● The C310 can be automatically “woken up” if it detects movement
within its field of vision. In this case the camera will start to record
automatically and the user will be alerted.
● Infrared LED lights provide clear visuals at night or low light
situations as well.

The C310 can be mounted on a post or on a wall. The wall must be thick
enough to hold three times the weight of the camera.

4) Regional Sunlight Distribution (see Fig. 2.6). Identify the distribution of
sunlight according to the region in which you are in. (You may need to
regularly charge the camera for regions in which peak sunshine duration is
within 1.0-2.9).
Note: Peak sunshine reflects the maximum solar irradiance that can be
amassed – 1000 w/m2.
5) Operation time of this camera is determined by amount of solar
charging and the number of times the camera is triggered and awoken.
Fig. 2.7 depicts the relationship between these factors. Refer to Fig. 2.7 to
estimate the camera’s continuous working time.
Fig. 2.6
Fig. 2.8.1 Fig. 2.8.2
7) PIR Shield Sheet Installation:
● PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor detects changes in heat signature to
distinguish movement. Therefore, motion detection can be triggered by
changes in sunlight; a fast moving cloud layer, automobiles passing by,
and objects flying in the wind may all trigger the sensor.
● If you feel the sensitivity is too high and the device is being triggered too
frequently, you may install a PIR shield sheet.
1) Install the PIR shield according to Fig. 2.8.1.
2) Bend the shield sheet in the five places according to Fig. 2.8.2
● Note: The shaded area can change with an appropriate amount
according to the bending angle of the shield sheet.
Note: The shaded area can change with an
appropriate amount according to the bending
angle of the shield sheet.

6) Notes:
PIR sensor is a high-sensitivity detector which is used for infrared
detection of object motion. However, motion detection can be triggered by
the change of background lighting change, passing by vehicles or the
blowing leaves.
If the camera detects false alarm frequently, please
use “PIR shield sheet” to reduce motion detection
area. If this does not resolve the issue, you have
option to turn off the motion detection function by
selecting "security" option in APP and turn off the
"motion detection" function in “Protection” menu.

②On some Android phones, App prompts a message "Please input the
default password, 11111111"
Solution: The failure is caused by abnormal connection between mobile
phone and camera hot spot.
Please access to WiFi setup interface of your mobile phone to connect to the
camera hot spot “DOG-***” manually. Then return to the app to add the camera.
If this does not work, please turn off the mobile phone WiFi and turn it back
on again. Repeat the above manual connection method to add the camera.
Q: Can solar intelligent WiFi camera C310 work all the time? What
happens when the battery is fully drained?
A: The equipment can be used for long-term in case of 4-5 days of sun
irradiation charging every month and 10-20 times of triggering actions. If it
displays as low battery:
①Minimize waking up the camera from false alarm by installing PIR
shield (Refer to page 10)
②Charge the camera using power adapter provided.
Q: How to access the recorded video on micro TF card built-in inside
the camera?
A: The videos stored in the camera can be searched and playback using
“Doby” app installed on your mobile phone.
Q: What do I do if I did not receive the verification code when I signed up?
A: Please kindly check if your phone is out of service, If not, please reboot to try.
Q: What does it mean when the app says “network connection failure”?
A: There are several reasons for a network connection failure.
Two of the main reasons are that a user typed in the wrong password and
there is a weak wifi signal. In some cases, a router has a special setting (such
as hotels) where you need to log in to the company web page to verify portal to
get access to internet. The camera won’t work with this kind of router setting.
Q: My device keeps on going “offline”.
A: 1) Please make sure the wifi password is correct.
2) Please make sure you have an internet access from your router.
3) Please check if wifi have special setting(such as hotels) need
to log in to the web page to verify portal to get access to internet. This
function is not available for now.
Q: I cannot connect to see the live video on my phone.
A: Please check the data traffic on the up right corner. If it is not 0Kb, and your app
keeps on searching or cannot connect, this probably caused by short
bandwidth of your internet service. (Please check with your internet
provider to make your that you have at least 40kb/s feasible bandwidth).
Q: Can more than one person access the camera to view videos?
A: More than one person can access the camera to view live videos, BUT
the camera would not allow more than one person to access the camera
at the same time.
Q: My alarm does not work even after I clicked Protection.
A: Please check if your camera is on “At home” mode. If your camera is
on “at home” mode,all device will be on the standby status where motion
detection, message notification or recording function stops functioning.
Q: If device do not have TF card in it, will it record video?
A: Camera needs TF card to be able to record.
Q: How much data does my camera use?
A: Live video will need about 2Mb per minute. If you use audio function,
it need about 0.4Mb more per minute.
Q: My app cannot find a camera.
A: Please make sure that wifi is connected on your phone.
Then check if the wifi indicator on your camera is blinking blue light. If not, please
press the wifi set up button for 3 seconds until the wifi indicator light blinks.
Q: How long can TFcard record?
A: If you use 16GB memory card, motion detection recording mode will
last a year based on 10 events a day.

Q: What do I do when I get error message when I try to add camera.
A: There are several causes leading to equipment adding failure:
① Time-out error during adding camera on the App.
Solution: If the WiFi status indicator blinks red over one minute, please
press the reset button for 3-5 seconds until the WiFi status indicator
becomes blinking blue, then confirm if the router signal is strong enough
and input correct router password to re-add the camera.
1) Prior to setup and selecting location of installation:
a.Confirm steady wifi signal (at least two grids of signals). If the
signal is not strong enough, you may install a WiFi booster or
repeater to extend the WiFi coverage.
b.Select an area with sufficient sunlight. Ideally, position the
camera under direct sunlight.
c.Avoid areas with moving objects that may disturb the camera.
2) Wall Mount Setup
a.Remove the sticker and place it on the wall, where you wish to
setup your camera.
b.Drill holes in the 3 marked circles and insert the green expansion
screw into the hole. (See Fig. 2.2)
c.Align the holes of the mounting bracket with the expansion screws
and secure the bracket into place. (See Fig. 2.3)
d.Install the camera onto the bracket and secure it in place the
screw.
3) Post Mount Setup
a.Bind the mounting bracket onto the post or pole with the plastic
ribbons and tighten them as much as possible. (See Fig.2.4)
b.Install the camera onto the bracket and secure it in place the
screw.
