If you encounter issues with your camera, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

  • Check that your Wi-Fi password is entered correctly.
  • Move the camera closer to your Wi-Fi router to improve signal strength.
  • Restart your router and the camera.
• Slow or delayed pan/tilt response:
  • Ensure a stable Wi-Fi connection. Poor signal can affect control responsiveness.

• No video feed or poor image quality:
  • Check your internet connection speed.
  • Clean the camera lens if it appears dirty or smudged.
  • Ensure the camera has adequate power.

  • Ensure the camera is online and connected to Wi-Fi.
• Internal storage fills up quickly:
  • The camera uses internal storage for recordings. This storage is designed to loop, overwriting the oldest footage when full. There is no slot for an external, upgradable SIM card.
