5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Connectivity Issues

  • Camera offline: Ensure the camera is powered on and the power adapter is securely connected. Check your router and internet connection. Verify that the camera is connected to a 2.4G WiFi network; 5G networks are not supported.
  • Unable to connect to app: Restart the camera and your mobile device. Ensure the Yoosee app is updated to the latest version. Try resetting the camera (refer to the app for specific reset instructions) and re-pairing it.

5.2 Recording Problems

  • No recordings: Verify that an SD card is properly inserted and formatted in the camera, or that your cloud storage subscription is active. Check the recording settings within the Yoosee app to ensure continuous or motion-activated recording is enabled.
  • Poor video quality: Ensure the camera lens is clean. Check your network bandwidth; a weak signal can affect streaming and recording quality.

5.3 Detection Not Working

  • No motion alerts: Ensure AI Human Tracking and motion detection are enabled in the Yoosee app settings. Adjust the detection sensitivity if necessary. Check the notification settings on your mobile device to ensure alerts from the Yoosee app are allowed.

5.4 Poor Night Vision

  • Unclear night vision: Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions. Check if the correct night vision mode (color or IR) is selected or set to auto in the app. Ensure there are no strong light sources directly facing the camera at night, which can interfere with IR illumination.
