DIAGNOSIS The automatic activation rules are not configured or are conflicting with power-saving settings.
FIX Open the Reolink app. Go to Detection Alarm > Alarm Settings. Find 'Spotlight' and 'Siren' settings. For each, set 'Auto-activation' to 'On'. Then, set the activation schedule and link it to 'Any Motion' or 'Person/Vehicle Detection'. Ensure 'Battery Protection Mode' is OFF, as it disables most automatic functions.
IF THAT DIDN'T WORK The camera's operating mode might be set incorrectly. Go to Camera Settings > Status LED & Sounds. Verify the camera is not in 'Stealth Mode', which disables lights and siren.
HEADS UP Automatic spotlight and siren activation will drastically increase battery consumption. Use them sparingly or ensure the solar panel is optimally positioned to compensate.
