Will the A720 app work on all A9 mini security cameras?

Compatibility between the A720 app and A9 cameras is not universal. While many A9 mini cameras look identical on the outside, they are produced by various manufacturers and use different internal chipsets, which require specific apps to function.Common apps for A9 cameras include Little Stars, HDWifiCamPro, V720, and A720. Whether the A720 app will work depends on the specific firmware version of your camera. To determine the correct app for your device, please check the following:QR Code: Scan the QR code found in the physical instruction manual that came in your box.Device ID: When you turn the camera on and check your phone's Wi-Fi settings, look at the name of the camera's hotspot (e.g., "ACCQ..." or "BCCQ..."). Different prefixes often correspond to different apps.Manual Reference: If your manual specifically mentions the A720 or V720 app, it should work. If your manual mentions a different app name, the A720 app will likely fail to connect to the camera.If you no longer have the manual, you can try downloading the A720 app and attempting a connection; however, if the app cannot find the camera's signal, you may need to try the V720 or Little Stars apps instead.

Why does my A09 camera only record playback from 18:00 everyday, and why is data from the rest of the day not recorded?

If your A09 camera is only recording from 18:00 (6:00 PM) onwards, it is likely due to a recording schedule setting or a time zone mismatch within the Linklemo app. Please check the following settings:Recording Schedule: Open the Linklemo app and navigate to the camera settings. Look for "Record Settings" or "Schedule Recording." Ensure that the camera is set to record 24/7 or "All Day" rather than a specific time window that starts at 18:00.Time Zone Settings: Verify that the camera's time zone is correctly synced with your local time. If the camera thinks it is a different time of day, it may be following a schedule based on that incorrect clock. You can usually find a "Sync Time" or "Time Zone" option in the device settings.Recording Mode: Check if the camera is set to "Motion Detection" recording instead of "Continuous Recording." If it is in motion mode, it will only record when activity is detected; if your environment is only active after 18:00, this would explain the lack of earlier footage.MicroSD Card Status: Ensure your MicroSD card is not full or corrupted. While the A09 supports Loop Recording (overwriting old files), a card error can sometimes cause inconsistent recording. Try formatting the card via the app's storage settings.If these settings appear correct and the issue persists, try resetting the camera by holding the power/reset button for 5 seconds and re-pairing it with the app to clear any software glitches.
