7. Troubleshooting

• No video or delayed video: Ensure a strong 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal at the installation location. Check app settings for motion detection sensitivity. The doorbell is designed to record upon motion detection or button press.
• Short battery life: While rated for 180 days, frequent motion detection events, live view access, or cold weather can reduce battery life. Ensure the doorbell is fully charged. Consider the wired option for continuous power.
• Detection issues (false alerts or missed events): Adjust the PIR AI human detection sensitivity settings within the 'Smart Life' app. Ensure the camera's field of view is clear of obstructions that might trigger false alerts.
• Wi-Fi disconnection: Verify your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz network. Ensure the doorbell is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Restarting both the doorbell and your router may resolve connection issues.
• Chime not working: Ensure the chime is properly plugged into a power outlet and has been successfully paired with the doorbell. Refer to section 4.3 for pairing instructions.
• Poor audio/video quality: Check your Wi-Fi signal strength. A weak signal can affect streaming quality. Ensure the camera lens is clean.
