Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Why Camera WIFI signal is not appearing on my WIFI page?
A1: There are 4 solutions to this problem:
1. Take out the backup battery, plug the camera into an outlet power supply using the
USB cable and DC5V 2.0A power adapter provided. Wait 2 minutes for the WIFI signal
SSID to appear.
2. Reset the camera (See VIII), then wait for the WIFI signal SSID to show up.
3. Keep your phone or mobile device within the camera’s WIFI hotspot range, refreshing
the WIFI signal page. It may take up to 2 minutes for the hotspot to become recognizable
on your phone or mobile device's WIFI setting page.
4. Shut off your phone or mobile device’s WIFI function for a while, then turn it on to
search again.
Q2: The camera won’t show up in the application Camwf?
A2: Ensure your phone or mobile device is still connecting to the camera’s WIFI signal
and your camera is powered by the outlet power supply or the back-up battery is fully
charged.
Q3: Why live video screen shows up black and a searching circle spins in center
but nothing ever displays?
A3: If the camera connected WIFI speed is low, wait 10-30 seconds for live video to
appear. Or you can exit the live video screen and get into the screen again in a minute.
Q4: Why does the video footage have no image but noise during playback on my
PC computer?
A4: When the camera is in low battery during video recording process, this happens. So
if you need the camera to record full time, we suggest you charge the camera using the
DC5V 2.0A power adapter and USB cable included during the video recording process.
Q5: Even though I keep the camera charged, the WIFI signal still drops?
A5: Make sure that you use our DC5V 2.0A power adapter provided to charge the
camera. If the power adapter is lower than DC5V 2.0A, say, DC5V 1.0A, the camera’s
WIFI signal will be unstable and keep dropping. Plus, we don’t recommend you connect
the camera directly to your PC computer for charging, because the current output will not
be enough for the camera to run normally.
Q6: The camera is not holding my Wifi settings and continues to show that the
camera is offline?
A6: Make sure the camera is inside the range of good WIFI signal. Or if you are using the
backup battery, check if the power adapter is connected properly for long time use.
Q7: Will the camera still work if the power goes out?
A7: If the camera is in P2P (LAN) mode, the camera can still work and record video as
long as the backup battery provides power for the camera to run. If the camera is in WAN
mode, it will not work until power is restored and the Internet access is available.
Q8: How to add the camera to more devices?
A8: Make sure that camera is in WAN mode already. Then launch the “
Camwf
” APP on your
other Android devices, tap “
+
” icon, scan the QR code on the back of the camera for camera’s
UID and password. Or input the camera UID (a unique combination of numbers and letters
specific to your camera) and password. Finally, tap “
OK
” to add the camera to the APP.
Q9: What to do if I forget my password?
A9: You will have to reset the device to factory settings (See VIII) and re-add the camera.
Q10: The camera does not record any video to the Micro SD card?
A10: Power off the camera, take out the Micro SD card, format the SD card, then insert it
to the SD card slot to try again.
Q11: How many mobile devices can connect to the camera at the same time?
A11: No limit.
Q12: How many cameras are supported on the mobile application?
A12: No limit.
Q13: How to turn on the IR LEDs?
A13: When the illumination is below 10 lux, the IR LEDs will be turned on automatically.
The IR distance is 2 meters (6.5ft).
Q14: How to play back the video saved in the Micro SD card?
A14: Use a card reader to read and play back the video on your PC computer. Or use the
“Camwf” APP to play back (See 7.5)
Q15: Is there any PC client software I can use on my windows PC computer?
A15: PC client software download link:
