Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your VKfoy WC-SC-01 camera, refer to the following common solutions:

• Camera Not Connecting to Wi-Fi:
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The camera does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi.
  • Check your Wi-Fi password for accuracy (case-sensitive).
  • Move the camera closer to your Wi-Fi router to improve signal strength.
  • Restart your router and the camera.
• Video Lagging or Poor Quality:
  • Verify your Wi-Fi signal strength in the Vicohome app. A strong signal is crucial for 2K streaming.
  • If experiencing significant lag, try switching the recording resolution to SD in the app's video settings.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the camera and the Wi-Fi router.
• Motion Detection Not Triggering/Too Sensitive:
  • Adjust the motion detection sensitivity level in the Vicohome app settings.
  • Ensure the camera's field of view is clear and not obstructed by moving objects like tree branches.
  • For optimal detection, position the camera so that movement occurs across its field of view rather than directly towards or away from it.
• Short Battery Life:
  • Frequent motion detection events, live viewing, and spotlight/siren activation consume more battery.
  • Reduce motion detection sensitivity or frequency of alerts if battery life is a concern.
  • Ensure the camera is fully charged before deployment.
