TROUBLESHOOTING

14

Wifi - Make sure the camera is less than 30 feet away from router. Hold your mobile phone where you would like to install the camera. See the signal strength on mobile as an indicator to know the signal quality.Incase of a weak wifi signal, we suggest wiring the camera to the router. (for models that have an ethernet port)

Please note that special characters (e.g. #@%) and space are not permitted in the wifi SSID or password.In this case either connect it by ethernet cable or modify the SSID / password of your wifi router.

It supports 2.4GHz wifi only, 5GHz is not supported.Make sure you are connecting to your 2.4GHz network.

Press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds for a complete factory reset. The password will also revert to the default.

Make sure your internet cable is working and can access the internet. 1) Since the technology for motion detection recording cannot be perfect, it can be triggered by changes in environment or lighting, we suggest you let the camera record full time.
