Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your LaView Bulb Security Camera, refer to the following common solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi.	Ensure 2.4GHz Wi-Fi: The camera only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Verify your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz network and you are connecting to it. Wi-Fi Signal Strength: Ensure the camera is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Consider using a Wi-Fi extender if necessary. Correct Password: Double-check that you are entering the correct Wi-Fi password. Router Settings: Some router settings (e.g., MAC filtering) might block new devices. Consult your router's manual or ISP.
Poor video quality or lag.	Network Bandwidth: Ensure your internet connection has sufficient upload speed for streaming video. Wi-Fi Signal: A weak Wi-Fi signal can cause quality issues. Relocate the camera or router, or use a Wi-Fi extender. App Settings: In the LaView app, you might be able to adjust the video quality settings to a lower resolution if bandwidth is limited.
Motion alerts are too frequent or not received.	Sensitivity Settings: Adjust the motion detection sensitivity in the LaView app (Low/Medium/High). Detection Zone: Configure specific motion detection zones within the app to focus on critical areas and ignore irrelevant movements. App Notifications: Ensure notifications are enabled for the LaView app in your phone's settings.
No recording or playback.	Micro SD Card: Ensure a compatible Micro SD card (up to 128GB) is properly inserted and formatted within the app. Cloud Subscription: If relying on cloud storage, verify your subscription is active.
