4.1. Dual Lens and Panoramic View

The camera features dual lenses for a comprehensive panoramic view. One lens provides fixed-point monitoring, while the other offers PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) rotating monitoring. This allows for detailed observation of both near and far areas, eliminating blind spots with a dual-screen display on the same interface.

6. Troubleshooting (FAQs)

6.1. Camera cannot connect to Wi-Fi

  • Ensure the Wi-Fi password entered is correct (it is case-sensitive).
  • Reboot your router and attempt to add the camera again.
  • Confirm that your mobile phone is connected to a 2.4G Wi-Fi network, as the camera does not support 5G Wi-Fi.
  • Check your Wi-Fi router settings to ensure options like AP isolation or anti-dawdling are not enabled, as they can restrict device access.
  • Some mobile phones require location permissions to be granted to the Yoosee app to access the Wi-Fi list.

6.2. Camera is offline in the camera list

  • Verify that the network connected to the camera is functioning normally.
  • If an SD card is installed, remove it, then reboot both the camera and the router to see if the camera comes online.

6.3. Camera is offline after changing router or Wi-Fi password

The camera stores the original Wi-Fi password. If the router or password changes, the camera will not be able to connect. You must reset the camera (long press the "RESET" button until it beeps) and then re-add it to the app, providing the new Wi-Fi credentials.
