Troubleshooting
- Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi:
Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Verify that your phone's Bluetooth is enabled during setup. Move the camera closer to your Wi-Fi router. Restart the camera and try the connection process again.
- Short battery life:
Continuous recording and frequent motion detections consume more battery. Adjust settings to power-saving mode or motion-activated recording. Ensure the camera is fully charged before use. For 24/7 operation, keep the camera plugged in.
- No recording to SD card:
Ensure the SD card is correctly inserted and formatted within the app. Check if the SD card is full or corrupted. Replace with a new SD card if necessary (supports up to 128GB).
- Poor video quality:
Ensure the camera lens is clean. Check your Wi-Fi signal strength; a weak signal can affect streaming quality. Verify that the app is set to 1080P resolution.
- Motion detection not working:
Check the PIR motion detection settings in the app. Ensure the sensitivity is appropriately set. Verify there are no obstructions blocking the camera's view.
