Maintenance

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the camera lens and body with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Firmware Updates: Regularly check the mobile app for available firmware updates. Keeping your camera's firmware up-to-date ensures optimal performance, security, and access to new features.
• Power Cycle: If the camera experiences minor issues, try power cycling it by turning off the light fixture's power for a few seconds, then turning it back on.

Troubleshooting

Camera Not Connecting to Wi-Fi

• Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The camera does not support 5GHz networks.
• Verify that your Wi-Fi password is entered correctly in the app.
• Make sure the camera is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Obstacles like thick walls can interfere with the signal.
• Try resetting the camera and repeating the connection process.

Poor Image Quality

• Check if the camera lens is clean and free from dust or smudges.
• Ensure a stable Wi-Fi connection. A weak signal can result in lower video quality.
• In night vision mode, ensure there are no reflective surfaces too close to the camera that could cause glare.

Motion Detection Not Working or Too Sensitive

• Verify that motion detection is enabled in the app settings.
• Adjust the motion detection sensitivity levels within the app. High sensitivity may trigger alerts from minor movements like shadows or insects.
• Ensure the camera's field of view is clear and not obstructed.

Two-Way Audio Issues

• Check your phone's volume and the camera's speaker volume settings in the app.
• Ensure there is no excessive background noise near the camera or your phone that could interfere with communication.
• Verify a stable internet connection for both the camera and your mobile device.
