Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi | Incorrect Wi-Fi password; camera too far from router; 5GHz Wi-Fi network used. | Verify Wi-Fi password. Move camera closer to router. Ensure you are connecting to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Reset the camera using the reset needle and try pairing again. |
| Frequent false alarms | High motion detection sensitivity; environmental factors (e.g., moving branches, insects). | Reduce motion detection sensitivity in the Vicohome app. Define specific detection zones to exclude irrelevant areas. |
| Short battery life | Frequent motion detection events; cold weather; continuous live view usage. | Reduce motion detection sensitivity. Limit live view sessions. Consider purchasing a solar panel charger for continuous power. Ensure the camera is fully charged before deployment. |
| Poor image quality at night | Obstructions near the lens; insufficient ambient light for color night vision. | Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions. Verify that the night vision mode is active in the app settings. |
| SD card not recording | SD card not inserted correctly; incompatible SD card; SD card full or corrupted. | Reinsert the SD card carefully. Use a genuine Micro SD card up to 128GB. Format the SD card through the app. Replace the SD card if corrupted. |
