6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera fails to connect to Wi-Fi | Incorrect Wi-Fi password; Weak 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal; Camera too far from router; Router firewall settings. | Ensure correct 2.4GHz Wi-Fi password. Move camera closer to router. Check router settings for any restrictions. Reset camera and try pairing again. |
| Frequent false alarms | High motion detection sensitivity; Detection area includes busy public spaces; Environmental factors (e.g., moving branches, strong light changes). | Adjust motion detection sensitivity in the app. Define specific detection zones to exclude irrelevant areas. Utilize AI recognition features to filter out non-human/vehicle movements. |
| Battery drains quickly | Frequent motion detections; Continuous live view streaming; Low ambient temperature. | Reduce motion detection frequency/sensitivity. Avoid prolonged live view sessions. Ensure camera is fully charged. Consider a solar panel for continuous charging. |
| Poor video quality | Weak Wi-Fi signal; Dirty lens; Low light conditions. | Ensure strong Wi-Fi signal. Clean the camera lens. Verify night vision settings are appropriate for the environment. |
| Two-way audio not working | Microphone/speaker muted in app; App permissions not granted; Network latency. | Check app settings to ensure microphone and speaker are enabled. Grant necessary audio permissions to the app on your smartphone. Ensure stable network connection. |
