 Please check whether the camera is triggered frequently every, if it records over 300 times a day will cause the camera's power consumption too fast. You can reduce the detection sensitivity of the camera and adjust the monitoring angle of the camera to reduce the triggers.

2. This may be caused by poor contact between the solar panel and the camera interface.
