VI. Troubleshooting
1) APP can't be registered successfully
- Ensure you have ticked the software service agreement and privacy policy.
- Check your spam/junk mail folder for the verification code.
- During installation, grant the app access to your location and all necessary permissions; the system will automatically select the optimal server.
- If the above steps do not resolve the issue, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app, ensuring all permissions are allowed during the reinstallation process.
2) Unable to connect to the network
A) Unable to connect to WiFi:
- Ensure DHCP is enabled on your router.
- Verify that the camera's MAC address is not blacklisted in your router's settings.
- Turn off the 5GHz Wi-Fi band on your router. If you are unsure how to do this, contact your router manufacturer for assistance.
- After connecting to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, confirm that your mobile phone can access the internet.
- If the network is functioning correctly, reset the camera and attempt to reconnect.
B) WiFi password issues:
- Double-check that the Wi-Fi password entered for the camera is identical to the password of your connected router.
- Ensure the entered Wi-Fi password does not contain spaces or unsupported special characters (e.g., @, #, %, &).
C) Disconnected 5G WIFI, unable to connect to WiFi:
- Disable the 5G network on your router and ensure only the 2.4G network is active. Disconnect and restart your router, then restart the camera.
- The Wi-Fi network name should not contain the text "5G".
3) Camera matches WiFi successfully, but no sound from the camera
- Reset the camera, then power it off and reconnect it. A reset can clear residual data that might be causing the issue.
- During the connection process, place your phone as close as possible to both the camera and the router.
- Ensure the 5GHz Wi-Fi band is turned off.
4) No pop-up message for motion detection alarm
- Go to your phone's settings and enable message push notifications for the "Littlelf smart" app.
- On some Android phones, the app may not receive alarm push notifications if it's running in the background and has been closed by the system.
- Check the app settings and turn off motion detection if it's not needed, or adjust its sensitivity.
- Please note that SMS and email reminders for motion detection are not currently supported.
5) Motion detection messages prompt frequently
- If the motion detection sensitivity is set too high, even minor changes in lighting can trigger an alarm. Consider reducing the sensitivity to a lower level (e.g., "low").
6) After inserting SD card, it displays as damaged
- Before inserting the SD card, disconnect the camera's power. After inserting the card, reconnect the power and then start the camera.
- The SD card must be formatted before use. You can conveniently format it within the "Littlelf smart" app.
- It is recommended to purchase SD cards directly from reputable manufacturers to ensure compatibility and reliability.
