6.1 Common Issues and Solutions
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera offline/Cannot connect to Wi-Fi | Weak Wi-Fi signal; Incorrect Wi-Fi password; Camera too far from router; Only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. | Ensure camera is within Wi-Fi range. Verify Wi-Fi password. Confirm router is 2.4GHz. Try moving router closer or using a Wi-Fi extender. Reset camera and try setup again. |
| Motion detection not working or too sensitive | Motion detection disabled; Sensitivity set too low/high; Environmental factors (e.g., wind, light changes). | Check app settings to ensure motion detection is enabled. Adjust sensitivity levels. Consider the camera's placement to minimize false alarms from environmental factors. |
| Poor night vision quality | Lens obstruction; Insufficient ambient light for full-color mode; IR LEDs blocked. | Clean the camera lens. Ensure no obstructions are blocking the IR or white LEDs. If in full-color night vision mode, ensure there is enough ambient light; otherwise, switch to black & white IR mode. |
| Two-way audio issues (e.g., static, no sound) | Microphone/speaker obstruction; Network latency; App volume settings. | Ensure nothing is covering the microphone or speaker on the camera. Check your phone's volume settings. Verify network stability. Restart the app or camera. |
| Camera not recording to SD card | SD card full/corrupted; SD card not inserted correctly; Recording settings incorrect. | Check if the SD card is properly inserted.
