Questions & Answers

Use this section to ask about setup, compatibility, troubleshooting, or anything missing from this manual.

  1. How many long plus security cameras can be added to the app

    Bruce asks How many long plus security cameras can be added to the app
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How many LongPlus security cameras can be added to the app?

    Answer

    The provided manual for the LongPlus Smart Battery Camera does not specify a hard limit on the total number of cameras that can be added to the LongPlus or LongVision app. However, it does mention that if you encounter a "Retrieving IP timeout" error, it may indicate that the number of devices connected to your home router is too high, which could limit your ability to add more cameras.

    For most smart home applications of this type, you can typically add dozens of cameras, but performance will depend on your smartphone's capabilities and your Wi-Fi network's bandwidth. If you are using the LongVision or BitVision software mentioned in the external context, these platforms are designed to support multiple channels for simultaneous playback and monitoring across various locations.

    If you are experiencing issues adding more devices, try the following:

    • Ensure your router can handle the additional IP addresses.
    • Check that you are using a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, as 5GHz is not supported.
    • Restart your router to clear unconnected or stale device entries.
  2. I do not receive the confirmation code to complete the registration

    Jose Espinal asks I do not receive the confirmation code to complete the registration
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why am I not receiving the confirmation code for my LongPlus camera registration?

    Answer

    While the manual does not provide a specific troubleshooting step for missing registration codes, this is a common issue during the initial App setup. Please try the following steps to resolve the issue:

    • Check Spam/Junk Folders: Confirmation emails are often filtered by email providers. Check your spam or junk mail folders for an email from LongPlus or Herospeed.
    • Verify Email Address: Ensure there are no typos in the email address you entered during the registration process.
    • Resend Code: Wait at least 60 seconds before clicking the "Resend" button in the App.
    • Try a Different Network: If you are using mobile data, try switching to Wi-Fi (or vice versa) to ensure the request is being sent properly.
    • Check App Permissions: Ensure the App has the necessary permissions to access your network. For iOS 13 and above, the manual notes that "location permission" must be set to "allow when using" for proper connectivity.

    If you still do not receive the code, you may need to contact LongPlus support or visit www.herospeed.net for further technical assistance regarding account services.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I delete videos from the LongPlus camera app on my cellphone?

    Answer

    While the provided manual does not explicitly list a "delete" button step-by-step, you can manage your recordings through the Library section of the app. Based on the manual's guidance for viewing videos, follow these steps to locate and manage your files:

    • Open the LongPlus (or LongVision/BitVision) app on your cellphone.
    • Navigate to the Library page (usually found in the bottom menu).
    • To find specific videos, you can click the icon in the upper left corner of the Library page to filter by category.
    • Once you have located the video playback or clip you wish to remove, look for an Edit or Trash Can icon, or long-press on the video thumbnail to reveal deletion options.

    If you are trying to clear all footage, you can also format the Micro SD card by going to Device Settings > SD Card, though this will erase all data on the card.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How can I access the LongPlus Smart Battery Camera instructions in French on my phone?

    Answer

    To access instructions in French on your phone for the LongPlus Smart Battery Camera, you have two primary options:

    • Use the Mobile App: The camera uses the LongPlus or LongVision app (available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store). Most modern smart home apps automatically detect your phone's system language. If your phone is set to French, the app interface and its built-in help guides should display in French automatically.
    • Translate the Online Manual: Since the physical manual provided is in English, you can use your mobile browser (like Chrome or Safari) to view the manual page and use the browser's built-in translation feature to convert the text to French.
    • Official Support: You can visit the manufacturer's website at www.herospeed.net to check for downloadable PDF versions of the manual in multiple languages.

    If you are looking for a specific setting within the app, go to Settings (Paramètres) > Advanced Settings (Paramètres avancés) to see if there is a manual language toggle, though it typically follows the smartphone's global language setting.

    Question

    How do I change the time format from military time to standard time on the LongPlus Smart Battery Camera?

    Answer

    To change the time format for your LongPlus Smart Battery Camera, you will need to access the settings within the mobile application (LongPlus or LongVision). While the provided manual does not explicitly list a "Time Format" toggle, this setting is typically found in the following location within the app:

    1. Open the LongPlus App on your smartphone.
    2. Select your camera from the home screen to enter the live view.
    3. Tap the Settings icon (usually a gear icon in the top right corner).
    4. Look for Advanced Setting or Device Information/Settings.
    5. Check under Time Setting or Time Zone. There is usually a toggle or selection for Time Format where you can switch from 24-Hour to 12-Hour (Standard) time.

    If you do not see this option, ensure your camera's firmware is up to date by going to Settings > Firmware Info. If the option remains missing, the time format may be syncing directly from your smartphone's system settings; ensure your phone itself is set to 12-hour time.

  7. I can not figure out how to get past the the user & private agreement. when I try to touch agree & continue it says please read & check the agree to user agreement & privacy agreement first. But i see nothing on those pages to check.

    Linda K King asks I can not figure out how to get past the the user & private agreement. when I try to touch agree & continue it says please read & check the agree to user agreement & privacy agreement first. But i see nothing on those pages to check.
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I accept the user and privacy agreement in the LongPlus app?

    Answer

    When setting up the LongPlus app, you must check a small box to acknowledge the User Agreement and Privacy Policy before the "Agree & Continue" button will function. If you do not see a checkbox on the main screen, please try the following steps:

    • Look for a small circle: There is usually a small, unselected circle or square located just to the left of the text that says "I have read and agree to the User Agreement and Privacy Policy." You must tap this circle to fill it (usually with a checkmark or color) before proceeding.
    • Scroll to the bottom: If the app has opened the actual text of the agreement, you may need to scroll all the way to the bottom of the document for the "Agree" button or checkbox to become active.
    • Check for Dark Mode issues: Sometimes, if your phone is in "Dark Mode," the checkbox may be difficult to see against the background. Try temporarily switching your phone to Light Mode to see if the interface element appears.
    • Permissions: Ensure you have allowed the necessary permissions. As noted in the FAQ, iOS users may need to ensure "location permission" is set to "allow when using" for the app to function correctly during setup.

    Once the box is checked, the "Agree & Continue" button should allow you to proceed to the user registration and device pairing steps.

    Note: The manual indicates that for the best experience, you should scan the QR code provided in the 'Quick Start' section (Page 5) to ensure you have the official version of the app.

    If the issue persists, you can try restarting the app or your mobile device.

    For further assistance, you can visit www.herospeed.net, which is the manufacturer's support site listed in your manual.

    Quick Tip: If the camera itself is malfunctioning during this process, you can restart it by long-pressing the power button for 3 seconds or using a pointed object in the reboot hole located under the rubber plug at the bottom of the camera.

    Disclosed Uncertainty: The specific visual layout of the app's agreement screen is not detailed in the provided manual text, so these steps are based on standard app registration troubleshooting for this product line.

  9. I can’t get notifications on my phone from the camera

    Debbie asks I can't get notifications on my phone from the camera
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I fix missing phone notifications for my LongPlus Smart Battery Camera?

    Answer

    If you are not receiving notifications from your LongPlus Smart Battery Camera, please check the following settings:

    • App Permissions: Ensure that the LongPlus app has permission to send notifications in your phone's system settings. For iOS 13 and above, also ensure "location permission" is set to "allow when using" as this can affect connectivity and features.
    • Motion Detection: Verify that motion detection is enabled in the app. The camera uses a PIR motion sensor to trigger alerts.
    • Network Connection: Ensure your camera is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network (5GHz is not supported). If the signal is weak, notifications may be delayed or fail; try moving the camera closer to the router.
    • Power Status: Check the battery level in the app. If the battery is low, the camera may enter a power-saving mode that affects performance.
    • Restart the Device: If the camera is malfunctioning, long-press the power button for 3 seconds to restart it, or use a pointed object in the reboot hole located under the rubber plug at the bottom.
  10. The image displayed on my iPhone is full screen. The image displayed on my iPad is small with the control buttons taking up a larger area than the picture. When I tap on the full screen icon nothing changes. Can you help?

    Bill asks The image displayed on my iPhone is full screen. The image displayed on my iPad is small with the control buttons taking up a larger area than the picture. When I tap on the full screen icon nothing changes. Can you help?
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why is the camera image not displaying in full screen on my iPad even when tapping the full screen icon?

    Answer

    The issue you are experiencing is likely due to the app's scaling on iPadOS. While the LongPlus app (often associated with the LongVision or BitVision platforms mentioned in the technical context) is compatible with iOS, it may be designed primarily for a smartphone aspect ratio.

    If the full-screen icon within the app is not responding, please try the following steps:

    • Check iPad Orientation Lock: Ensure your iPad's rotation lock is turned off. Sometimes the app requires the physical device to be in landscape mode to trigger the full-screen transition.
    • Use the iPadOS Scaling Toggle: If the app is running as a scaled iPhone app, you may see a small "2x" or arrow icon in the bottom corner of the iPad screen (outside the app's own interface) that can help expand the window.
    • Update Firmware and App: According to the manual (page 17), you should check for firmware updates in the app settings. Also, ensure you are using the latest version of the app from the App Store.
    • Restart the App: Force close the app and reopen it while the iPad is already in landscape orientation.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be a limitation of the current app version's optimization for tablet displays.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I resolve login issues and bypass the agreement screen in the LongPlus app?

    Answer

    Based on the LongPlus Smart Battery Camera manual and common app behavior, please try the following steps to resolve your login and agreement screen issues:

    • Bypassing the Agreement Screen: When the app displays the user agreements, you must typically scroll to the very bottom of the text or check a small radio button/checkbox (often located at the bottom of the screen) to confirm you have read them before the "Agree" or "Next" button becomes active.
    • Email Not Found: If the app says it cannot find your email, ensure you are using the exact same email address used during the initial registration 3 months ago. Check for typos or extra spaces. If you are still unable to log in, you may need to perform a new user registration as outlined in the "Quick Start" section of the manual.
    • App Permissions: Ensure the app has the necessary permissions. For iOS 13 and above, the manual specifically notes that Location Permission must be set to "Allow when using" for the app to function correctly during setup.
    • Device Reset: If the app remains unresponsive, you can restart the camera by long-pressing the Power Button for 3 seconds. If the device is malfunctioning, remove the rubber plug at the bottom and press the reboot hole with a pointed object.

    If you continue to have account-specific issues, you may need to contact the service provider listed in your app's support section or visit www.herospeed.net for further technical assistance.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why is my cloud service recording inconsistently, and do I need an SD card for the LongPlus Smart Battery Camera?

    Answer

    While your LongPlus Smart Battery Camera may include a 7-day rolling cloud service, inconsistent recording is often related to network stability or device settings. To ensure reliable footage storage, it is highly recommended to install a Micro SD card.

    • Storage Capacity: The camera supports Micro SD cards up to 128GB.
    • Installation: The Micro SD card slot is located at the bottom of the camera, protected by a rubber plug. You must insert the card here for local recording.
    • Cloud Troubleshooting: If you hear the prompt "Cloud service connection fail," check that your router is properly connected to the external network and that your Wi-Fi signal is strong. Thick walls or interference can cause the camera to drop the connection, leading to missed recordings.
    • Recording Settings: In the app, ensure the recording duration is set to "Auto" (which records up to 3 minutes when motion is detected) to capture full events.

    If the cloud service continues to be unreliable, using a Micro SD card provides a dependable backup that does not rely on an active internet connection to save the footage locally.

    Question

    How do I control the zoom and get a closeup view on the LongPlus Smart Battery Camera?

    Answer

    Based on the LongPlus Smart Battery Camera User Guide, there is no mention of a physical or optical zoom feature. The camera lens has a fixed Field of View of 110°, which is designed for a wide-angle perspective rather than close-up magnification.

    To get a closer view of your video feed, you can try the following in the LongPlus app:

    • Digital Zoom: While viewing the live stream or a playback video, try using a "pinch-to-zoom" gesture (placing two fingers on the screen and spreading them apart) on your smartphone screen to digitally enlarge the image.
    • Physical Placement: Since the camera has a fixed wide-angle lens, the best way to get a clearer view of a specific area (like a front door) is to physically mount the camera closer to that target.
    • Image Resolution: Ensure your camera is set to its maximum resolution (up to 1920×1080) in the app settings to maintain as much detail as possible when digitally zooming.

    If you are looking for a motorized zoom (PTZ) feature, this specific battery-powered model does not appear to support it, as the manual only describes manual angle adjustment during installation.

    Question

    How do I control the zoom and get a closeup view on the LongPlus Smart Battery Camera?

    Answer

    Based on the LongPlus Smart Battery Camera User Guide, the camera features a fixed lens with a 110° field of view. The manual does not list a physical or optical zoom control. To get a closeup view or control the zoom, please try the following in the LongPlus or LongVision app:

    • Digital Zoom: While viewing the live video stream in the app, use two fingers on your smartphone screen to "pinch-to-zoom." This will allow you to digitally enlarge the image for a closer look.
    • Image Resolution: Ensure your camera is set to its maximum resolution (1920×1080) in the app settings to maintain the best possible clarity when using digital zoom.
    • Physical Placement: Since the lens is fixed, the best way to get a clearer "closeup" of a specific area (like a front door) is to physically install the camera closer to the target area, ensuring it is within 7 inches (20cm) for QR scanning during setup and at an appropriate height for monitoring.

    If you are looking for an optical zoom feature, this specific model does not appear to support it as it is a fixed-lens battery-powered unit.

    Question

    My camera does not record events, or I cannot find them. What should I do?

    Answer

    If your LongPlus Smart Battery Camera is not recording events or you are having trouble finding them, here are some steps you can take:

    • Check Recording Settings: Ensure that event recording is enabled in the camera's settings within the LongPlus app.
    • Review Storage: The camera supports a Micro SD card (up to 128GB) for storage. Make sure a card is inserted and has sufficient space. If the card is full, new events may not be recorded.
    • Maximum Recording Length: If the duration is set to "Auto," the camera will record a video for up to 3 minutes when motion is detected.
    • Viewing Recorded Videos: To quickly view videos by category, click the icon in the upper left corner of the "Library" page in the app. You can then filter videos by category and click "Save" to view playbacks.
    • Restart the Camera: If the device is malfunctioning, long-press the power button for 3 seconds to restart it. If there is no response, remove the rubber plug at the bottom of the camera and press the reboot hole with a pointed object to restart it.
    • Check Wi-Fi Connection: A stable Wi-Fi connection is crucial for the camera to function correctly, including recording and uploading events. Ensure your camera is within range of a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I remotely pan and rotate my LongPlus PTZ battery camera?

    Answer

    To remotely pan and rotate your LongPlus PTZ camera, you must use the mobile application (LongPlus or LongVision) that you used during the initial setup. While the provided manual focuses on a fixed-lens model, PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) functionality is typically accessed through the following steps:

    • Open the App: Launch the LongPlus or LongVision app on your smartphone.
    • Access Live View: Tap on your camera from the home screen to enter the live video stream.
    • PTZ Controls: Look for a directional pad (D-pad) or a joystick icon on the live view screen. This is often labeled as "PTZ" or represented by a circular icon with arrows.
    • Manual Rotation: Use the arrows on the screen to rotate the camera horizontally (pan) or vertically (tilt) to your desired position.

    If you do not see these controls, ensure your specific model supports motorized PTZ. Some cameras allow for manual angle adjustment during installation (as shown on page 12 of the manual) but do not feature remote motorization. If your camera is a motorized PTZ model and the controls are missing, try updating your Firmware in the App settings as described on page 17.
