FAQ and Troubleshooting
Q: Why is the distance in the room not far enough?
A: a. Check if the receiving antenna of the parent unit terminal is turned on. b. Due to different wall materials of different houses, the blocking of 2.4G signals is different. When the signal is not good, simply adjust the positioning to fix.
Q: Why there is always some noise in the background?
A: It is impossible to eliminate all the noise. This kind of howling has always been a problem in the audio field. Please keep your receiver and camera separate by at least 3.2 FT (1 meter) or more.
Tip: The microphone of the receiver and camera cannot be too close. This is the reason why some users get confused when they operate the devices and always get noise in the background. This phenomenon is an uncontrollable factor.
Q: Why is the temperature not accurately showing on the screen?
A: a. There should be a difference in indoor air circulation. b. If the temperature sensor is just placed in a new environment, there will be a deviation time within two hours for the correct temperature to display.
