Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and body. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the camera in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) before storage to prolong its lifespan.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the mobile application for any available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.

Troubleshooting

Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi:

Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz (5GHz networks are generally not supported by these devices). Check that the Wi-Fi password is correct and the camera is within range of your router. Restart both the camera and your router.

Cannot view live feed or playback:

Verify the camera is powered on and connected to Wi-Fi. Ensure your smartphone has an active internet connection. For playback, confirm a MicroSD/TF card is properly inserted and has recorded content.

Motion detection alerts not received:

Check the app settings to ensure motion detection and notifications are enabled. Verify your phone's notification settings allow alerts from the camera app. Ensure the camera has a stable Wi-Fi connection.

Poor video quality:

Ensure the camera lens is clean. Check your Wi-Fi signal strength; a weak signal can affect streaming quality. The camera supports 1080P HD, but environmental factors can influence perceived quality.

User Tips

• App Recommendation: Many users have found success using the V720 app for connecting and managing the Ourlife A800 camera.
• Local Recording Without Wi-Fi: While the camera's smart features (remote viewing, app alerts) require a Wi-Fi connection, it can still record video to an inserted MicroSD/TF card even without an active Wi-Fi connection. You would need to retrieve the card to view recordings.
• Optimal Placement: Utilize the magnetic base and included stand to experiment with different camera angles and positions. Its compact size makes it discreet and versatile for various monitoring needs.
