8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Telonixium SV-EP03 camera, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera does not power on. | Battery is depleted. | Charge the camera fully using the provided USB cable. |
| App connection is unstable or slow. | Distance from camera, interference, app bug. | Ensure you are within 10m (32ft) of the camera. Minimize interference from other WiFi devices. Restart both the camera and the app. Check for app updates. |
| Cannot connect to camera WiFi. | WiFi not enabled on camera, incorrect password. | Enable WiFi in the camera's menu. Double-check the WiFi SSID and password. Ensure your phone is not connected to another network. |
| Remote control (via app) not responding. | App connection issue, app freezing. | Verify stable WiFi connection. Close and reopen the XDVPRO app. Restart the camera. |
| Unable to download photos/videos from app. | App functionality limitation, storage permissions. | Check app settings for download options. Ensure the app has storage permissions on your phone. Alternatively, remove the MicroSD card and transfer files directly to a computer. |
| Screen is too bright for dark adaptation (astronomy). | No 'dark mode' or brightness control. | Cover the screen during observation or use the app on a phone with a red-light filter/dark mode. Avoid powering on/off during critical dark adaptation periods due to bright splash screens. |
| MicroSD card not recognized. | Card inserted incorrectly, card corrupted, unsupported format. | Reinsert the card correctly. Try formatting the card in the camera's menu (this will erase all data). Try a different MicroSD card. |
