Troubleshooting

Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi:

Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The camera does not support 5GHz or mesh networks for initial setup. Verify your Wi-Fi password is correct. Move the camera closer to your Wi-Fi router. Reset the camera and try the pairing process again.

Camera goes offline frequently:

Check your Wi-Fi signal strength at the camera's location. Obstructions like thick walls can weaken the signal. Consider relocating the camera or using a Wi-Fi extender. Ensure the camera's power supply is stable.

Poor video quality:

Ensure the camera lens is clean. Check your internet connection speed; a slow connection can affect streaming quality. Adjust video quality settings in the app if available.

Motion detection not working or too many false alarms:

Adjust the motion detection sensitivity in the app. Define specific detection zones to exclude areas with irrelevant movement (e.g., trees swaying). Ensure the camera's view is clear of obstructions.

No audio or poor audio quality:

Ensure the microphone and speaker are not obstructed. Check audio settings in the app. Verify your smartphone's volume is turned up.
