07 FAQS

For more detailed FAQs, log in to the APP and search in "Me"-"FAQ"-"Help Document"-"Battery Camera".

The device prompts offline?

1. Check if the equipment is powered on and the working light is normal.
2. Confirm good Wi-Fi coverage and a stable network (signal above 75%).
3. Use a third-party "wifi analyzer" tool to check signal coverage and interference. If poor, consider repositioning the camera or router.
4. Avoid using Wi-Fi extenders.

Update router or Wi-Fi password?

Delete the camera from your CloudEdge account. Reset the device, then add it again using the new Wi-Fi credentials.

Will not connect to WiFi?

1. Ensure connection to a 2.4GHz network with good coverage and signal strength (above 75%).
2. Avoid using Wi-Fi extenders.
3. Verify the Wi-Fi password is entered correctly.
4. In rare cases of network incompatibility, contact after-sales service at service@iegeek.com.

Fast power consumption?

1. Poor Wi-Fi coverage (signal below 75%) increases power consumption.
2. High PIR trigger frequency and infrared/white light usage at night increase power consumption.
3. Frequent remote access by the mobile phone increases power consumption.
4. For the first use, charge the battery from 10% to 100% for optimal lithium battery health.

Camera not detecting movement?

1. In case of unstable network, messages may be delayed. Verify network status and test the camera in an environment with good network coverage.
2. Inappropriate installation position can lead to PIR not triggering. Adjust the installation position according to trigger requirements.

SD card not recognized?

1. The camera supports 16-128GB micro SD cards.
2. Format the micro SD card to FAT32 or exFAT on a computer before inserting it into the camera. Format the memory card again on the camera.
3. If the micro SD card is not recognized, it may be a quality issue. Replace the memory card with one offering more stable reading and writing.
