Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ELECCTV BW4 camera, refer to the following common solutions:

  • Weak Wi-Fi Signal: If the app indicates a weak Wi-Fi signal, try moving the camera closer to your router or consider using a Wi-Fi extender. Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz signal.
  • Connectivity Issues: Double-check your Wi-Fi password. Ensure the camera is within range of your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. If issues persist, try resetting the camera (refer to the Quick Start Guide for reset instructions) and re-pairing it with the app.
  • Battery Not Charging: Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight for several hours daily. Check the connection between the solar panel and the camera. In prolonged cloudy weather, you may need to charge the camera using the provided power adapter.
  • Overly Sensitive Motion Detection: Adjust the detection sensitivity settings within the O-KAM Pro app. You can also set custom detection zones to exclude areas with frequent irrelevant motion (e.g., swaying trees).
  • No Notifications: Check your app's notification settings and your phone's system notification settings to ensure they are enabled for the O-KAM Pro app. Verify that motion detection is active.
