7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Camcamp security system.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No image on NVR monitor | NVR not powered; cameras not powered or out of range; cameras not paired. | Ensure NVR is plugged in. Check camera battery levels. Move cameras closer to NVR. If issues persist, re-pair cameras (refer to advanced settings in NVR menu). |
| Poor or no remote access via app | NVR not connected to internet; weak WiFi signal; incorrect app settings. | Verify NVR is connected to your 2.4G WiFi or Ethernet. Ensure strong WiFi signal. Check app permissions and network settings on your phone. |
| False motion alerts | PIR sensitivity too high; environmental factors (e.g., swaying branches, insects). | Adjust PIR sensitivity settings in the NVR or app. Configure alarm zones to exclude areas with frequent irrelevant motion. |
| Camera battery drains quickly | Insufficient sunlight for solar charging; excessive motion events; frequent live view access. | Relocate camera to a spot with more direct sunlight. Reduce PIR sensitivity. Limit frequent live view access. Manually charge the camera if needed. |
| Two-way audio not working | Microphone/speaker disabled; volume too low; app permissions. | Check audio settings in the NVR or app. Ensure microphone and speaker are enabled and volume is adequate. Grant necessary audio permissions to the app on your mobile device. |
