5. Troubleshooting

• Camera Not Connecting to Wi-Fi:
  Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz (most security cameras do not support 5GHz Wi-Fi). Verify the Wi-Fi password is correct. Move the camera closer to the router to check signal strength. Restart your router and the camera.

  Check if the camera is receiving power. Confirm your internet connection is stable. Restart the camera by unplugging and re-plugging its power source. If the issue persists, try re-pairing the camera with the LaView app.
• False Motion Alerts:
  Adjust the motion detection sensitivity settings in the LaView app (Low/Medium/High). Define specific detection zones to exclude areas with frequent, non-threatening movement (e.g., trees swaying).
• Poor Night Vision Quality:
  Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions. Check for strong light sources near the camera that might interfere with infrared illumination.
• Two-Way Audio Issues:
  Verify that the microphone and speaker settings are enabled in the LaView app. Ensure there are no physical obstructions blocking the camera's microphone or speaker. Check your mobile device's volume settings.
