6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SYMYNELEC W1 camera, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Camera Not Connecting to Wi-Fi:
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The camera does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi.
  • Verify that your smartphone is connected to the 2.4GHz network during the initial setup.
  • Check the Wi-Fi signal strength at the camera's location.
  • Restart your Wi-Fi router and the camera.
• Frequent False Alarms (Motion/Sound Detection):
  • Adjust the detection sensitivity settings within the SYMYNELEC app.
  • Utilize customizable detection zones to exclude areas prone to irrelevant motion (e.g., busy streets, swaying trees).
• Recording Issues:
  • If using local storage, ensure a compatible memory card is inserted and properly formatted.
  • Check the available storage space on the memory card or cloud service.
  • Verify that recording schedules or event-triggered recording settings are correctly configured in the app.
• Poor Image Quality / Glare:
  • Clean the camera lens and the glass surface it is mounted on.
  • Reposition the camera to avoid direct sunlight or strong light sources that cause glare. The camera material is anti-glare and anti-reflection, but extreme conditions can still affect performance.
• Google Home App Video Viewing:
  • Video feeds from the SYMYNELEC W1 camera can typically be viewed directly in the SYMYNELEC app or on a Google Nest Hub, but may not be viewable directly within the Google Home app interface itself.
