This happens during the paring process if the camera does not properly sync to your hub. If this occurs you may need to resync the camera back to the hub and try pairing again. To resync the camera, press and hold the sync button on the back of the camera until the indicator light on the front of the camera turns red. Once it turns red release the sync button and pair the camera back to your smart hub. If none of the above has helped, try one of the following: 1 Unplug the power adapter for your smart hub and wait 30 seconds. Apply power back to the smart hub and try the pairing process again. 2 Reset the modem on your Wi-Fi network. Unplug it and wait for about 40 seconds, then plug it back in and continue the setup process. 3 Perform a factory reset on the smart hub. To perform a factory reset, locate the reset hole on the back of the smart hub. Using a safety pin, or similar device, press in and hold the internal reset button down for 30 - 60 seconds allowing the device to reset. Once the hub comes back online, continue the setup process. I Mounted My Camera Upside Down. How Do I Flip the Image? When installing your camera it is important to note the direction in which you want your camera to face. If the image of your camera needs to be flipped, access the live view interface of your camera in the app and tap on the settings ( ) icon in the upper right corner of the screen. In the settings menu, tap on the "Flip Image" toggle switch to enable and flip the image. The image can only be flipped in a 180° motion. Why Is the LED On My Smart Hub Blinking Green? The LED on your Smart Hub will repeatedly flash green if the device does not detect any network activity. To resolve the issue, ensure an Ethernet cable is secured in the Ethernet port on the back of the unit and the other end is properly plugged into your home network. Once a proper Ethernet connection is made, the LED on the Smart Hub will turn light blue and then disappear once a secure connection is made to your network.
