Can I view live footage remotely?
Yes, via the dedicated Centra app, you can view live footage remotely using the camera's WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, provided you have a stable internet connection for your phone and the camera.
How far does the night vision reach?
The camera features 2x 850nm LEDs that provide illumination for clear night vision up to 20 meters.
Is the camera suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the camera has an IP66 waterproof rating, making it robust against dust and powerful water jets, suitable for most weather conditions including rain.
How do I update the camera's firmware?
Firmware updates are typically managed through the Centra mobile app. Ensure your camera is connected via WiFi and follow the prompts within the app for any available updates.
What is the field of view for motion detection?
The PIR motion sensor has a 120° field of view, detecting movement within this wide angle.
Troubleshooting
Camera not turning on
Ensure the battery is charged. Check that the power switch is in the 'ON' position. If solar charging is the primary method, ensure sufficient sunlight exposure for charging.
Poor WiFi or Bluetooth connection
Move the camera closer to your router or smartphone. Ensure there are no major obstructions between the camera and the connecting device. Restart the camera and your router/phone.
No motion detection recorded
Verify that the motion detection feature is enabled in the camera settings. Check the PIR sensor for obstructions. Adjust the sensitivity settings in the app if necessary. Ensure the camera is within the 20m detection range.
Night vision not effective
Ensure the 850nm LEDs are clean and unobstructed. Check the camera settings to confirm night vision is enabled and set to the appropriate mode (auto/on).
SD card not recognized or full
Format the SD card using the camera's formatting function (ensure all data is backed up first). Check that the SD card is compatible and properly inserted. Replace the SD card if it is faulty.
