5. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your camera, regular maintenance is recommended.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the camera lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the surface.
- Weather Resistance: The camera has an IP66 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against dust and powerful water jets. While designed for outdoor use, ensuring it is securely mounted and not exposed to extreme, prolonged environmental stress (e.g., direct, constant water flow) will help maintain its integrity.

6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera offline in app | Incorrect Wi-Fi band (5GHz), weak Wi-Fi signal, router blocking connection, power issue. | Ensure your Wi-Fi is 2.4GHz. Check Wi-Fi signal strength at camera location. Restart camera and router. Verify router settings are not blocking the camera's connection (some routers, like Xfinity, may flag it as a threat). Re-add camera in app. |
| No motion detection alerts | Motion detection disabled, sensitivity too low, incorrect detection zone, app notifications off. | Enable motion detection in app settings. Adjust sensitivity. Configure detection zones correctly. Check phone notification settings for the JAWA app. |
| Poor video quality | Weak Wi-Fi signal, dirty lens, app resolution setting. | Improve Wi-Fi signal. Clean the camera lens. Switch to HD resolution in the app if currently on SD. |
| Two-way audio unclear or not working | Microphone/speaker obstruction, volume settings, network delay. | Ensure nothing is blocking the camera's microphone or speaker. Adjust volume in the app. Be aware of slight network delays. |
| SD card not recording | SD card full, corrupted, or not inserted correctly; incorrect recording settings. | Check if SD card is full (camera should overwrite). Reinsert or replace SD card. Format SD card via app. Verify recording settings (continuous/event) are enabled. |
