Solar Cam D1 Classic kit

I am having an issue with one of my cameras. I gets the same amount of sun as all the others but it down to 65%. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey @wilsoneichinger , welcome to the Aosu community!:waving_hand:

Sorry to hear one of your cams is acting up. Even if it’s getting the same sun, a few things might be worth checking:

  • :battery: Panel angle & shade: Sometimes a tiny bit of shade (like from a branch or gutter) can mess with charging. Try comparing the angle and surroundings with your other cams.

  • :high_voltage: Battery drain: Is that cam facing a busy area? More motion = more recordings = faster battery drain.

  • :antenna_bars: Signal strength: Weak Wi-Fi can cause retries or delays, which also use more power. You can check signal in the app settings.

  • :counterclockwise_arrows_button: Firmware update: Just in case, make sure it’s running the latest version. Updates sometimes fix power management stuff.

  • :electric_plug: Cable check: If it’s a wired solar panel, make sure the connection’s snug and clean. Dust or moisture can interfere.
