Troubleshooting
- Camera Offline: Ensure the camera is charged and within range of your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Restart your Wi-Fi router and the camera. Check if the Wi-Fi signal strength is adequate in the camera's location.
- Motion Alerts Not Received: Verify that motion detection is enabled in the app settings and that app notifications are allowed on your smartphone. Adjust motion sensitivity if necessary.
- Short Battery Life: Frequent motion detection, live view streaming, and two-way audio usage can drain the battery faster. Ensure the camera is fully charged. Consider reducing motion detection sensitivity or frequency if alerts are excessive.
- Poor Video Quality: Check your Wi-Fi signal strength. Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions. If using a MicroSD card, ensure it is functioning correctly.
- Pairing Issues: Confirm your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. Ensure your phone is connected to the same 2.4GHz network during setup. Reset the camera to factory settings (refer to app instructions for reset procedure) and try pairing again.
