- Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website or app for any available firmware updates for your NVR and cameras to ensure the latest features and security patches.
- Environmental Protection: While cameras are IP66 waterproof, avoid direct high-pressure water jets and extreme environmental conditions beyond the specified operating range.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your JouSecu Home Security Camera System, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera not connecting/no image | No power; out of range; pairing issue; network cable issue (if wired) | Check power supply; move camera closer to NVR; re-pair camera using the 'Match code' function (refer to Section 3.1); ensure network cable is properly connected if using wired setup. |
| Poor image quality | Dirty lens; low light conditions; interference | Clean the camera lens; ensure sufficient lighting or proper night vision activation; reduce wireless interference by repositioning camera or NVR. |
| No remote access | NVR not connected to internet; incorrect app settings; firewall issues | Verify NVR's internet connection; re-check app setup steps (Section 3.3); ensure router firewall is not blocking necessary ports. |
| Motion detection false alarms | Sensitive settings; environmental factors (e.g., moving branches) | Adjust motion detection sensitivity; refine detection zones to exclude areas with frequent non-threatening movement. |
