1. Drill an 8mm hole in the pole (minimum
15cm down from the top of the pole) on the
same side that the camera will be mounted.
This is for the solar panel cable to run
through. The position of the hole will vary
depending on what position on the pole the
camera is to be mounted.
2. Feed the twin power cable connected to
your solar panel through that hole
3. Place the solar panel bracket on top of the
pole, pointing north.
• Note: If you need to cover a different area
with the light beam, keep the panel at after
repositioning .
4. Securely fasten the included grub screws
to the bracket. Tighten the locking bolts to
prevent the grub screws from loosening.

To ensure your solar panel absorbs as much light as possible, it’s important to adjust the solar panel angle to match
your region. (refer to table below).
For Australia and all locations in the southern hemisphere, the lower edge of the solar panel must point north. Locations
in the northern hemisphere must have the power edge of the panel pointing south.
The angle of tilt is determined by the installation location and is calculated as installation latitude + 15°
IMPORTANT: Failure to direct the panel correctly will cause system failure through insufcient power
Ideal panel angles (H°) by Australian city
Sydney Melbourne Canberra Perth Brisbane Hobart Adelaide Darwin
49° 53° 50° 47° 42.5° 58° 50° 27.5°
1. Use a at head screwdriver to remove the bracket cover (Fig. 2.2a).
2. Once the cover is removed, use the supplied T40 torx loosen the panel adjustment screw and tilt the panel to the
required angle with the LED light at the high side. (Fig. 2.2b).
3. Tighten the bolt after adjusting the angle to secure the solar panel in place.
4. Replace the cover.
How to adjust tilt angle:
2.2 Adjusting the Solar Panel Angle
For example, Sydney has a latitude of 34°, therefore the solar panel should be tilted directly north with an angle of 34
+ 15 = 49°.
If you are uncertain the of your area, Google makes it easy to nd the latitude for any location: For example, searching
for “latitude Newcastle NSW Australia” will return 32.9283° S, 151.7817° E. The latitude is the rst number shown
(32.9283) which rounds up to 33°.

Caution: Do not allow the negative and positive power supply wires from the solar panel to touch (short
circuit) - this will cause the lithium polymer battery to enter protection mode and output voltage will drop to 0V.
The only way to recover from this is to disconnect and then reconnect the battery inside the panel - Please
contact VIP Vision™ for further details.
When running cables, insulation should be removed from each end and cut carefully, ensuring each end does
not touch each other.

This section shows how to activate and test the Solar Light using the included infrared remote. On rst use, the solar
light uses the default settings (outlined below) which work as an ideal set for most situations. For a detailed list of all
congurable settings, follow Section 4 of this manual.
4.1 Reconnect Battery
The Solar Light is shipped with the battery disconnected from the system.
To activate the Solar Light, this battery must rst be reconnected. To reconnect:
Depending on the solar light model, a green LED will illuminate OR a red LED will ash slowly inside the black sensor. If
the battery is connected correctly and this does not occur, this likely indicates low battery voltage - place the system in
direct sunlight for at least 1 hour to charge before continuing.
1. Remove the “Battery Disconnected” sticker.
2. Find the two cables labelled “Battery”.
3. Taking note of the cable key, connect the two cables.
4. Twist the waterproof locking connector until tight.
