BinTalk Errors - what to do first

If your BinTalk Feed sensor is showing an Error or is not reporting data, follow these troubleshooting steps....

Inspect the BinTalk sensor. Things to look for:

  1. Is the unit damaged? Cable between camera and solar unit is not cut or disconnected. 
  2. Dust and other obstructions over camera lens cover.
  3. BinTalk is misaligned on the bin lip. Errors are reported for misalignments above 10 degrees.
  4. Solar panel facing the sun as much as possible to properly charge

Note: BinTalk has a 'Temperature safety mode' that will hibernate the camera until temperatures are above -4F/-20C and stable connection is restored.

If your BinTalk remains in an error state after confirming these 4 initial troubleshooting steps then please reach out to our support team to further investigate.
