Troubleshooting

• Camera Not Recording Motion:
  Check motion detection settings in the app. Ensure sensitivity is adequate and activity zones are correctly configured. Verify the camera's battery level.

• Connectivity Issues:
  Ensure HomeBase 2 is powered on and connected to your network. Check the distance between cameras and HomeBase 2. Obstructions like thick walls can affect signal strength.
