Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi | Incorrect Wi-Fi band (5GHz) or weak signal. | Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. Move the camera closer to the router or consider a Wi-Fi extender. Consult your internet provider if your router combines 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. |
| Blurry night vision images | Lens obstruction or environmental factors. | Clean the camera lens. Ensure there are no reflective surfaces close to the camera that could interfere with infrared light. |
| Battery not holding charge | Charging issue or battery degradation. | Ensure the charging cable and adapter are functioning correctly. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Frequent false motion alerts | Sensitivity settings too high or environmental factors (e.g., moving branches). | Adjust motion detection sensitivity in the app. Utilize AI recognition features to filter out unwanted detections (e.g., only detect humans). |
