4. FAQ
When I want to watch Live View, but the APP could not connect to the IoT camera:
●Does your IoT camera have power? Please check to see if the power adaptor is connected.
●Do you see a constant green light from the IoT camera’s LED?
●Is your smart phone/tablet connected to the internet or home Wi-Fi router?
5. Maintenance and Service
●Please keep children away from all parts and accessories.
●Fingerprints or dirt on lens have an adverse effects on picture quality, avoid touching the lens’
surface.
●If the lens is dirty, wipe the lens with a clean, soft cloth.
●Keep the IoT camera dry and away from precipitation, humidity, and other lliquids containing
minerals will erode the circuits.
●Please do not use in dusty, dirty areas.
●Please avoid dropping the camera, the impact will damage both the enclosure and the circuits.
●Do not put it in high-temperature areas. High temperature can shorten of the lifespan of the
electronic components and lead to deformation or melting of certain parts
●Do not put in ultra-low temperature areas. When the temperature warms back up and moisture is
formed inside the enclosure, it may cause damage to the circuit board.
●Do not open the enclosure.
●Do not overload the power outlets or extension cords, it will be an electric shock or fire hazard.
