6. Troubleshooting

6.1 App says "Failed to bind"

This indicates the device successfully connected to Wi-Fi but failed to link to your Imou account. Ensure your router has a stable internet connection and try again. Unstable internet is a common cause.

6.2 Imou Account Binding

For security, one camera can only be bound to one Imou account. To add it to a new account, you must first delete it from the previous one.

To delete a camera from your account:

1. Method 1: Go to the preview page, click the gear icon (top right), navigate to device settings, scroll to the bottom, and select "Delete device."
2. Method 2: Click "Me" > "My Device" > select the corresponding device > scroll to the bottom > "Delete Device."

6.3 Changing Wi-Fi Network

If you change your Wi-Fi or move the camera to a new location:

1. If your camera has an Ethernet port and you have a cable: Connect the camera to your router via Ethernet. Wait for the LED to turn solid blue. In the Imou Life App, go to the device settings, tap "Wi-Fi Config," and connect to the new Wi-Fi.
2. If no Ethernet port or cable: Reset the camera to factory default and set it up again with the new Wi-Fi.

6.4 Not Receiving Alarm Messages

Ensure the following:

1. The enable button in the upper right corner of the channel picture on the main page is active.
2. Imou Notifications are enabled in your phone's settings (e.g., iPhone: "Settings" > "Notifications"; Imou App: "Me" > "Settings" > "Notice").
3. Event detection (e.g., motion detection) is enabled in the device settings, and the time schedule is valid.
4. The device is connected to the internet.

6.5 Night Image is All Black

Possible reasons and solutions:

• IR LED didn’t light up: Check camera settings for IR illumination.
• ICR didn’t switch to night mode: This might indicate a hardware issue.
• Objects are too far away: Consumer cameras have limited IR distance (typically less than 10m). Ensure the area you want to monitor at night is within this range.

8. User Tips

• Data Consumption: Be mindful of 4G data usage. Daily live view, AOV record playback, and event record playback consume data. For example, 5 previews and 5 playbacks (1 minute each) per day can consume approximately 120MB of data.
• SD Card Storage: In AOV mode without event triggers, a 32GB SD card can store 15-20 days of video, 64GB for 30-40 days, 128GB for 70-80 days, 256GB for 150-160 days, and 512GB for 300-310 days.
• SIM Card Compatibility: The pre-installed SIM card (EU version) is only compatible with Imou 4G security cameras. Do not insert it into other devices.
• Solar Panel Performance: For optimal performance, ensure the solar panel receives at least 2 hours of direct sunlight daily. Actual battery life depends on sunlight intensity and the number of triggered events.
