Troubleshooting
Camera is not connecting to Wi-Fi
Ensure your Wi-Fi password is correct, the camera is within range of your router, and try restarting both your router and the camera. Verify that your Wi-Fi network is broadcasting on a compatible band (2.4GHz or 5GHz, depending on model specifics and app requirements).
No video feed in the app
Check that the camera is powered on and connected to your network. Restart the camera and the Imou app. Verify the camera's status in the app and ensure it's not in privacy mode.
Motion detection is not triggering alerts
Go to the camera settings in the Imou app and ensure motion detection is enabled and configured correctly. Adjust sensitivity levels if necessary. Check that human detection is also enabled if you are relying on that feature.
Poor video quality or pixelation
Check your internet connection speed and stability. Ensure the camera's resolution is set appropriately in the app. If using Wi-Fi, try moving the camera closer to the router or consider a wired Ethernet connection.
Camera makes clicking noises
This is often the sound of the IR cut filter switching between day and night vision. It's normal behavior when lighting conditions change.
