Do not attempt to install a camera system until you confirm you have an active account.

Secure the solar panel using 2 of the adjustable metal bands provided.  The panel should be mounted facing South (180 degrees) and free from obstruction to maximize solar output. The panel comes with a 6ft cable to allow maximum flexibility of panel orientation and height. Note: the solar panel does not have to be aligned with the front of your camera system, always mount it facing South. 

We recommend installing the camera mount so the back is facing any prevailing winds on the site. This helps reduce the risk of snow and ice buildup. The adjustable bracket has two components, one piece that attaches to the mounting surface and the other that is pre-installed on the back of your camera system. Using two adjustable bands secure the pole mount to a mounting surface. 

Please review the diagram below. There is a fixed mounting position at 90 degrees and an adjustable position that allows you to select between a 10 and 25-degree downward pivot. In areas of extreme wind-blown snow and known areas of ice accumulation, we recommend using the 25-degree position. 

Once your position has been selected use the included locking pin to secure the device.  Horizontal movements can also be made by slightly loosening the locking nuts and moving the horizontal locking pin into a new position (left/right).

Once your system is mounted connect your solar panel to the camera system to the connector located at the bottom of the device. There is only one way the connection can be made, gently tighten until a snug fit is achieved. 

Log into the mobile app and go to the All Cameras page. Select "install new camera" in the top right corner, this will take you through a step-by-step guide to power on and authenticate your camera system with our network.

When activating a new camera system, it may take a few minutes to acquire a network signal. Be patient and trust that the device will be able to find a stable connection. This may take a few minutes, depending on your location.

Verify all connections are snug and mounted securely, you're ready to go!
