6. Troubleshooting

• Wi-Fi Disconnection Issues: If your phone frequently disconnects from the camera's Wi-Fi, it is recommended to re-download the app. Ensure the camera's hot-spot mode is active and connect to its Wi-Fi. Note that the camera's Wi-Fi does not provide internet access; this is normal behavior.
• Noise Issue with Wi-Fi: When the camera's Wi-Fi is enabled, it may experience electromagnetic interference causing noise. This is normal behavior. Simply turning off the Wi-Fi will resolve the noise issue.
• Recordings cannot be replayed (or without image or audio): Download the KMPlayer for replaying.
• Camera not recognized by phone/computer: Use the Type-C data cable to connect the charge case (with the camera inside) to your phone/computer, or use Wi-Fi mode, or the 2-in-1 card reader.
