6. Troubleshooting

6.1 SD Card Not Detected

If the system does not detect the SD card, consider the following:

• Ensure the camera is powered off before inserting the SD card.
• Use a Class 10 or above microSD card for optimal read/write speed.
• The SD card might be faulty. Try another card.
• The SD card may not be formatted correctly. Format the SD card via the SriHome app (Settings -> Record Setting -> Format SD Card) or refer to www.sricam.com/srihome/download for formatting tools.
• The SD card slot on the camera might be malfunctioning.

6.2 Unstable Wi-Fi Connection / Camera Offline

If your camera's Wi-Fi connection is unstable or frequently goes offline:

• Check that the camera's antenna is securely tightened.
• Ensure your wireless router has the maximum transmission power set. Some routers may reduce power, affecting wireless performance.
• Check your Wi-Fi channels. If they are busy, reconfigure your router to 'Automatic' channel selection.
• The camera's IP address might conflict with other devices on your network. Consider setting a fixed IP address for the camera.
• If multiple wireless networks with the same name (SSID) are present (e.g., from a neighbor or a Wi-Fi repeater), devices might connect to the wrong network. Set a unique SSID for your wireless network.
• Verify the Wi-Fi signal strength in the SriHome app. It should ideally be more than 3 bars. A weak signal (less than 3 bars) often indicates the camera is too far from the Wi-Fi router.

Figure 6.1: Wi-Fi Signal Strength Check - App interface to view network settings and Wi-Fi signal strength.

6.3 Cannot Connect to Wi-Fi

If you are unable to set up Wi-Fi for your IP camera:

• All IP cameras support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Some IP cameras do not support 5GHz Wi-Fi. Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz network.
• Check if MAC filtering is enabled on your router. If so, disable it temporarily during camera configuration.
• Ensure your router's DHCP is enabled. After successful setup, you can set a fixed IP address for the camera and then disable DHCP if desired.
• The Wi-Fi encryption should be WPA/WPA2-PSK (AES or TKIP). WEP is an older, less secure technology and is not recommended.
• Set your Wi-Fi channel to 'AUTO' to avoid busy channels.
• If signal is inconsistent, try disconnecting other devices from the network or moving the camera closer to the router.
• If other quality or setup issues persist, perform a factory reset (refer to Section 5.1).

7. Specifications

8. User Tips

• Memory Capacity: The memory capacity for recording is determined by the installed microSD card in each camera (up to 128GB) and/or the hard disk drive (HDD) installed in the NVR (up to 16TB). These storage components are typically purchased separately unless specified in your kit.
