Hey solar camera users,
Winter is here, and that changes things for your battery. So we want to take a few moments to talk about best practices that will help keep your camera charged throughout the colder months.
1. Give Your Camera a Full Charge in Advance
Before winter completely sets in, take a proactive step by giving your camera a full charge with the USB charging option. Going into winter with a fully charged battery will help your camera better endure the challenges of winter weather.
2. Reduce Motion Detection Sensitivity
Customizing your camera’s motion detection settings to suit the winter conditions can help. Lowering the motion detection sensitivity reduces unnecessary activations, conserving battery power for when it’s truly needed.
3. Use Power-Saving Mode
Set the camera’s “Working Mode” to “Optimal Battery Life”, which will help strike the right balance between functionality and energy conservation. This mode can significantly extend battery life by adjusting performance settings to minimize power consumption.
4. Chase the Winter Sun
Even in winter, when the sun is playing peek-a-boo, there is some solar power to be collected. Clear away gathered snow from the solar panel, or adjust your camera’s position to catch those precious rays.
Important Notice:
eufy solar cameras are expected to operate normally between -20°C (-4°F) and 50°C (122°F). If the internal temperature of the camera drops to 0°C (32°F) or below, it may not be able to charge because of limitations put in place for battery safety purposes. It will automatically resume charging normally when the internal temperature once again rises above 0°C (32°F).
If you take this advice, your eufy solar cameras should continue to provide reliable security and convenience throughout the winter season.
Thanks for choosing a eufy solar camera. Your satisfaction and peace of mind are our top priorities.
Warm regards for the winter season,
The eufy Team
