7. Troubleshooting

• No Camera Feed:
  - Check if the camera is powered on and fully charged. Manually charge if necessary.
  - Ensure the camera is within range of the NVR's WiFi signal.

  - Restart both the camera and the NVR.
• Poor Video Quality:
  - Clean the camera lens.
  - Ensure there are no obstructions in the camera's field of view.
  - Check your network connection speed if viewing remotely.
• False Motion Alerts:
  - Adjust the motion detection sensitivity settings in the NVR or app.
  - Ensure the AI human detection feature is enabled.
  - Reposition the camera to avoid areas with frequent non-human motion (e.g., swaying branches).
• NVR Not Recording:
  - Check the NVR's storage status to ensure the 500GB HDD is not full. The system uses H.265+ compression to optimize storage.
  - Verify recording schedules and event triggers are correctly configured.
