7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ABUS PPIC35520, refer to the following common solutions:

• No Image/Poor Image Quality:
  • Check your Wi-Fi connection strength. A weak signal can affect video streaming.
  • Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions.
  • For night vision issues, note that the effective IR range depends on the environment. Highly absorbent surfaces or non-reflective objects can reduce IR range. Reflective objects too close to the camera (e.g., gutters, walls) can cause infrared light reflection, leading to a dark image.
• No Notifications:
  • Verify notification settings within the ABUS Smart Security World app.
  • Check your smartphone's notification settings for the app.
  • Ensure motion detection is properly configured and enabled.
• Two-Way Audio Issues:
  • Check your smartphone's microphone and speaker permissions for the app.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the intercom's microphone or speaker.
• Device Offline:
  • Check the power supply to the intercom.
  • Restart your Wi-Fi router.
  • If using Wi-Fi, try moving the router closer or using a Wi-Fi extender. Consider using the wired Ethernet connection if persistent.
