Q: No video or the device is oine?
Check the indicator status:

Internet. If the network is connected, restart the camera.

again.
Solid red: The camera is faulty.
Ensure that the camera is properly connected to power using
the included power adapter.
Reposition the camera, router or both to improve signal
strength.
Q: Failed to set up the camera?
Ensure your smart phone and the camera are within range of
your Wi-Fi router,
recommended to be no more than 5 m (16
ft). If the location where the camera is installed has a weak
signal, consider adding a Wi-Fi extender between your router
and the camera.
Ensure the LED indicator on the camera is flashing green
before setup.
Reset the camera, and then set it up again.
Certain routers oer a dual-band network (2.4 GHz and 5
GHz bands). Connect your phone and device to the 2.4 GHz
band only.
Q: The device cannot work normally or start?
Check the LED indicator status. If the light is not in green, press and
hold the reset button for 10 s to reset the camera.
Q: How to connect the camera to a new Wi-Fi?
If the camera is online, select Device Details > WLAN to
change the Wi-Fi connection on the app.
If the camera is oine, reset the camera, and then congure the
camera again.
Q: When the Micro SD card is full, how is the recorded video
saved?
When the Micro SD card is full, the system will overwrite the
previous recorded videos. Save the important information in time.
Q: Where are the recorded videos saved?
If you have activated the cloud storage and installed a micro SD
card, the recordings will be both saved to the card and cloud. If the
cloud storage is deactivated, the recordings are saved to the SD
card. Videos recorded during live view or playback is saved on your
phone. Tap Me- Local Files to check videos.
