My C9E2D solar powered camera which I have installed above my garage door on my alley keeps locking itself aimed in position where the camera is facing the garage siding and I am unable using the camera controls to reposition it. Can’t even reset the default view without manuallyturning the camera back to the viewing area. After doing that I can reset the default view for a short period of time. This seems to happen as a result of the csmera tracking on object and then gets stuck. I have been experiencing this sincecI got the camera.

Any ideas and/suggestions about how to fix I would appreciate.

Don’t know how or why, but after spending days at the controls trying to get the camera to respond with no results, this morning it seems that all is working as it should. I hope this isn’t temporary
