6. Troubleshooting (FAQ)

6.1 Connection Issues

• Why can't I add devices through WiFi connection?
  • Ensure the device has been restored to factory settings (long press the reset button until a voice prompt is issued).
  • The camera only supports 2.4GHz WiFi. If your router is 5G, turn off dual-band mode and select the 2.4G signal.
  • Confirm the distance between the router and the camera is within a reasonable range.
• What to do when the camera is disconnected?
  • First, confirm that the power supply and network are normal.
  • Power off and restart the camera.
  • If it remains disconnected, remove the camera from the APP and then add it again.
• What should I do if I need to change a WiFi network?
  • If the camera does not change location: In the APP, go to parameter settings > change the WiFi connected to the device > change the corresponding WiFi.
  • If the camera has changed location: Reset the camera to factory settings and reconfigure the network.

6.2 Recording & Alarm Issues

• Why is the recording intermittent?
  • Cloud service trial, alarm recording, and TF card event recording modes only record when motion is detected. This is normal behavior for these modes.
• Why do I choose to record continuously or intermittently after inserting the TF card?
  • Ensure the video viewing channel is set to "SD card" and that the SD card has been formatted.
  • If still intermittent, the SD card may have bad pixels and need replacement.
  • Verify that the recording mode is set to "all day recording" if continuous recording is desired.
• Why can't the mobile phone receive alarm messages?
  • Confirm that notification push permissions are enabled for the FFvideo APP in your phone's system settings.
  • Ensure message notifications are enabled within the FFvideo APP's settings.
  • Check that the current time is not within a planned period for stopping notifications.

6.3 Other Issues

• Why can't the shared account operate the camera?
  • For security reasons, shared accounts have restricted permissions and cannot operate the camera. To operate, log in directly with the bound account and password.
• How to view SD card video on mobile phone and computer?
  • Ensure the SD card is inserted into the device.
  • On mobile, view normally through the FFvideo APP.
  • On computer, log in to https://FFvideo.ucloudcam.com.
• Screen Abnormal Inspection: If the device detects abnormal brightness, color cast, video loss, blurred video, stripes, or snowflakes, a test report will be generated. Access this via the "Screen Abnormal Inspection" button in the APP.

8. User Tips

• Optimal WiFi Placement: For best performance, ensure the camera is installed within a strong 2.4GHz WiFi signal range from your router. Consider a WiFi extender if necessary.
• Regular SD Card Checks: If using an SD card for storage, format it periodically through the app to maintain optimal recording performance and prevent data corruption.
• Customize Alarm Zones: Utilize the app to define specific motion detection zones to reduce false alarms from irrelevant areas.
• Leverage Two-Way Audio: Use the two-way audio feature not just for deterrence, but also for communicating with delivery personnel or family members when you're away.
• Review Night Vision Settings: Experiment with the different night vision modes (infrared, full-color, smart) to find the best setting for your specific lighting conditions and monitoring needs.
