7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your TMEZON camera, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Camera won't connect to Wi-Fi. | Ensure your Wi-Fi is 2.4GHz (5GHz is not supported). Check Wi-Fi signal strength at the camera's location. Re-scan the QR code carefully. Reset the camera and try again. |
| Frequent disconnections. | Weak Wi-Fi signal. Move the camera closer to the router or use a Wi-Fi extender. Ensure no physical obstructions are blocking the signal. |
| Battery drains quickly. | Frequent motion detections in high-traffic areas can consume battery faster. Reduce motion sensitivity or adjust detection zones. Ensure the camera is fully charged. Extreme temperatures can affect battery life. |
| No motion detection alerts. | Check PIR sensor settings in the app (sensitivity, detection zones). Ensure notifications are enabled on your phone and in the VicoHome app. Make sure the camera is online. |
| Two-way audio not working. | Check microphone and speaker permissions for the VicoHome app on your phone. Ensure volume is turned up. Check for any physical obstructions on the microphone/speaker. |
| Cannot view recorded footage. | Ensure an SD card is inserted correctly and formatted, or that your cloud subscription is active. Check the recording settings in the app. |
| Camera is unresponsive. | Try restarting the camera by pressing the power button. If unresponsive, use the reset key to perform a factory reset (note: this will erase settings). |
