6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Common Issues and Solutions

• Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. Check Wi-Fi signal strength at the camera's location. Restart your router and the camera.
• Short battery life: Reduce motion detection sensitivity or frequency. Ensure the camera is fully charged. Extreme cold weather can temporarily affect battery performance.
• Foggy picture in cold weather: Condensation can occur in certain cold and humid conditions. Allow the camera to acclimate to the temperature or wipe the lens if condensation is visible.
• No motion alerts: Check app notification settings. Ensure motion detection is enabled in the app. Verify camera is online.
• Unable to view live feed: Check your internet connection. Ensure the camera is online in the app.

6.2 Resetting the Device

If the camera is unresponsive or experiencing persistent issues, you may need to perform a factory reset. Locate the reset button (often a small pinhole) on the camera. Use a small tool (like a paperclip or the included reset tool, if applicable) to press and hold the reset button for approximately 5-10 seconds until the indicator light changes, signaling a reset. After resetting, you will need to re-pair the camera with the Energizer Connect app.
