FAQ

Q: Why is the monitor not displaying properly?

A: Check whether the network is operating correctly. Ensure the camera is positioned

closely to the router. Ensure you are connecting to a 2.4Ghz network, and that this is the
network you are currently connected to on your smartphone.

A: Resetting device only initializes network configuration of the camera, but cannot change

the configuration in the app. To stop it appearing in the app, you must also remove the
device from the app.

A: First remove the device from the app, then reset the device manually. It is now ready to

pair using a new network or device.

microSD card is normally available and ensure the format is FAT32. Sometimes the
microSD card may not be identified when the internet connection is not stable.

Q: Why aren’t push notifications appearing on my phone?

A: Confirm that the app has been running on the phone and the relevant reminder function

has been enabled from the settings list. Ensure message notification and app permissions
have been enabled on the smart phone.
