7. Troubleshooting

7.1 No Image from Camera

• Check Power: Ensure the camera is properly powered on and its power adapter is connected to a working outlet.
• Check Wireless Signal: Verify the camera is within the NVR's wireless range. Obstacles like thick walls can weaken the signal.
• Re-pair Camera: If the camera was previously working, try manually re-pairing it with the NVR. On the NVR, go to "Video Manage" or "IPC Channel Config", select an empty channel or the problematic camera, and initiate pairing. Press the reset/pair button on the camera (refer to camera diagram for location).
• Restart Devices: Power cycle both the camera and the NVR.

7.2 Remote Access Issues

• NVR Network Connection: Ensure the NVR is connected to your router via Ethernet or Wi-Fi and has internet access. Check the network status on the NVR.
• Router Settings: Verify that your router's firewall is not blocking the NVR's connection.
• App Connection: Ensure your mobile device has a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular data).
• App Version: Update the Tris Home app to the latest version.
• Device ID/QR Code: Double-check that you have entered the correct device ID or scanned the correct QR code when adding the NVR to the app.

7.3 Poor Image Quality

• Clean Lens: Dust or smudges on the camera lens can degrade image quality. Clean it gently.
• Lighting Conditions: Ensure there are no strong light sources directly facing the camera, which can cause glare or overexposure.
• Resolution Settings: Check the camera's resolution settings on the NVR or app to ensure it's set to 3MP (2K).
• Network Bandwidth: Insufficient network bandwidth can cause choppy or low-quality video streams, especially for remote viewing.

7.4 Motion Detection False Alarms

• Adjust Sensitivity: Lower the motion detection sensitivity in the NVR settings or app.
• Set Detection Zones: Configure specific detection zones to exclude areas with frequent irrelevant motion (e.g., trees swaying, busy roads).
• Environmental Factors: Consider if strong winds, rain, or insects are triggering false alarms.
