Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi. | Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz or 5.0GHz. Check that the Wi-Fi password is entered correctly. Move the camera closer to your Wi-Fi router. Restart both the camera and your router. |
| Treats not dispensing. | Check if the treat compartment is empty. Ensure treats are not too large or sticky, which can cause jams. Clean the dispensing mechanism if necessary. |
| Poor video quality or lag. | Verify your Wi-Fi signal strength. A stronger signal provides better video quality. Reduce the number of devices connected to your Wi-Fi network. |
| Two-way audio not working. | Check your phone's volume settings and ensure the microphone/speaker icons are enabled in the app. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the camera's microphone or speaker. |
| App not available or not working on iPhone. | Ensure your iPhone's operating system is up to date. Check the Apple App Store for the latest version of the "Closer Pets" app. If the app is not found, contact Closer Pets customer support for alternative download methods or compatibility information. |
