Troubleshooting

• Wi-Fi Connection Issues: The camera requires a stable 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection. Factors such as the number and thickness of walls, house size, and other wireless interference can affect signal stability. If the connection is unstable, try changing the camera's installation location closer to the router or reducing obstacles.
• Battery Not Charging: Ensure the solar panel receives sufficient direct sunlight. Obstructions like tree branches or shade can reduce charging efficiency. In prolonged cloudy periods, a manual charge via the Type-C cable may be necessary.
• False Motion Alerts: Adjust the detection sensitivity settings in the ieGeek Cam app. Utilize the customizable motion zones to exclude areas with frequent irrelevant movement (e.g., busy streets, swaying trees). AI analysis (if subscribed) can further reduce false alarms by distinguishing between people, pets, and vehicles.
• Poor Night Vision: Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions. Check if the spotlight is enabled in the app settings.
• Two-Way Audio Lag: This can be due to network latency. Ensure a strong Wi-Fi signal and minimize other network activities during two-way communication.
