Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this camera work with both analog and digital meters?
A: Yes, it supports most analog dials (pointer type) and digital LCD/LED displays. The AI algorithm can be trained for specific meter types upon request.Q: How does the camera transmit data in areas with weak 4G signal?
A: It supports multiple LTE bands and can fall back to 3G/2G where available. External antenna options improve reception in underground chambers.Q: What is the typical battery life if using solar power?
A: With a 10W solar panel and 12V/20Ah battery, the system can operate for over 30 days without sunlight. Power consumption is optimized for once-daily reading cycle.Q: Do you provide cloud platform or software for data management?
A: We can offer a basic cloud dashboard or integrate with your existing platform via API. Custom software development is available for OEM partners.Q: How long does an OEM order take?
A: Typical lead time is 15-25 working days after design approval. Small samples can be shipped within 7 days.Q: What is the warranty policy?
A: Standard warranty is 2 years against manufacturing defects. Extended warranty up to 5 years is available upon negotiation.Q: Can the camera withstand freezing temperatures?
A: Yes, it operates down to -30°C. An internal heating element activates below -10°C to prevent lens fogging and ensure reliable startup.Q: Is the device certified for use in Europe or North America?
A: The device is designed to comply with CE and FCC standards. Certification testing can be arranged based on order volume. Our ISO9001 process ensures consistency.
