• Poor Image Quality: Clean the camera lens with a soft cloth. Ensure there is adequate lighting. If using night vision, confirm it is activated in settings.
• Motion Detection Not Working: Check if PIR motion detection is enabled in the settings. Adjust the sensitivity level. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the sensor's field of view.
• No Mobile Notifications: Verify that the device is connected to your home Wi-Fi network and that the mobile app has the necessary notification permissions enabled on your smartphone. Check your internet connection.
