Troubleshooting
Camera is not connecting to Wi-Fi
Ensure your Wi-Fi network is broadcasting on a compatible frequency (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz for Wi-Fi 6). Check that the Wi-Fi password entered is correct and that the camera is within range of your router. Restart both the camera and your router.
No video feed or intermittent connection
Verify the power connection is secure. Check your network cable connection if using Ethernet. Ensure the camera's firmware is up to date. Restart the camera and your network equipment.
Motion detection alerts are too frequent or not triggering
Adjust the sensitivity settings for motion detection in the camera's configuration. Define specific motion detection zones to focus on important areas and exclude irrelevant ones (e.g., windows with changing light).
Cannot record to MicroSD card
Ensure the MicroSD card is formatted correctly (typically FAT32 or exFAT, check camera manual for specifics) and is within the supported capacity (up to 256 GB). Check if the card is properly inserted and not write-protected.
Audio is not working (microphone or speaker)
Confirm that two-way audio is enabled in the camera settings. Check that the mobile app or viewing software has permission to access the microphone. Ensure there are no obstructions around the microphone and speaker grills.
