Maintenance

Care and Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance, periodically clean the camera lens and exterior casing. Use a soft, lint-free cloth, slightly dampened with water if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the camera's finish or lens coating.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your AMICCOM Z5-Updated camera, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Camera Not Connecting to Wi-Fi:
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. This camera does not support 5.0GHz networks.
  • Verify the Wi-Fi password is entered correctly in the app.
  • Move the camera closer to your Wi-Fi router to improve signal strength.
  • Restart both your Wi-Fi router and the camera, then attempt the pairing process again.
  • If using the sound wave pairing method, ensure your phone's volume is up and the speaker is close to the camera.
• Micro SD Card Not Recognized or Recording:
  • Ensure the Micro SD card (up to 128GB) is inserted correctly into the camera's slot.
  • Format the SD card to FAT32 using a computer before inserting it into the camera. For cards larger than 32GB, you may need third-party software to format to FAT32.
  • Try a different Micro SD card to rule out card malfunction.
• No Live View or Camera Appears Offline:
  • Check if the camera's power adapter is securely connected and receiving power.
  • Verify your mobile device has an active internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data).
  • Restart the MobiCam app.
  • If the issue persists, try re-pairing the camera with the app.
• Poor Image Quality / Night Vision Issues:
  • Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from dust or smudges.
  • Check for obstructions in the camera's field of view.
  • For night vision, ensure there are no reflective surfaces close to the camera that could cause glare.
