Troubleshooting

• Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi:
      Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz (5.0GHz is not supported).
      Check Wi-Fi signal strength at the camera's location.
      Verify the Wi-Fi password is entered correctly in the app.
      Ensure the camera is close enough to the router during initial setup.
• Loud audio prompts during setup:
      The camera emits loud beeps during the QR code scanning process. This is normal. Position your phone's screen approximately 6 inches from the camera lens for successful scanning.
• Camera goes offline frequently:
      Check your Wi-Fi connection stability.
      Ensure the camera has a consistent power supply.
      Try power cycling the camera (unplug and replug).
• False motion detection alerts:
      Adjust the motion detection sensitivity in the Tuya Smart App.
      Enable AI Human Detection to filter out non-human movements.
      Define specific detection zones to exclude areas with frequent irrelevant movement (e.g., trees swaying).
• Cannot access RTSP stream:
      Ensure you have the correct IP address for your camera.
      Verify that your network allows RTSP traffic.
      Use the default ONVIF credentials (admin/123456) if prompted, and change them immediately.
• SD card not recording:
      Ensure the SD card is correctly inserted and formatted via the app.
      Check if the SD card is full; consider enabling loop recording or upgrading to a larger capacity card.
