TROUBLESHOOTING If you have any trouble with your system, try these simple steps which should handle most common issues. Problem Possible Solution Make sure the camera’s power is on. Make sure your network supports DHCP protocol. The App cannot locate the camera. Make sure the camera and mobile device are on the same network or router. Use the Add Camera feature to manually add the camera. Make sure the home network is selected. Make sure the camera’s power is on. No Image appears.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem A white image appears at night. Memory card error. Possible Solution The camera’s infrared LEDs shine invisible light that reflects off of surfaces such as glass and will cause white light. Make sure the MicroSD card is correctly inserted in the camera and formatted. Make sure you are using Class 10 rated memory card. Wrong date and/or time will result in unexpected record schedule. Wrong data and time are shown. Make sure you have selected the correct time zone.
