During Hotspot Configuration, when the App is searching for a device to be added 
I get a 'No new device found. Please check the device status, and you need to 
allow app getting location info permission and stop VPN service' error message:

 

Check the antenna connection to your IP Doorbell and make sure that it is located 
within range of your mobile device and your router. Also check that the IP Doorbell 
SSID (looks like LIDawXXXXXXXX) is visible in the list of available WiFi on your mobile 
device, and if you have previously connected to it, ‘Forget’ that network on your 
mobile device. If you are still experiencing problems, perform a factory reset of your 
IP Doorbell, restart your phone, and disable the ‘Cellular Data’ on your mobile 
device during the configuration process.  

During Hotspot Configuration, when the App is searching and then connecting to a 
device to be added I get a 'connection failed' error message:

 Leave the App session 

running, go directly to the WiFi settings on your mobile device, and connect to the 
IP Doorbell Hotspot manually (SSID looks like LIDawXXXXXXXX). If prompted, answer 
'Yes' to stay connected to the IP Doorbell, even though there is no internet. Return 
to the App and it should automatically advance you to the next configuration step. 

When someone rings the doorbell, Notifications appear on the phone but I do not 
hear any audible alerts: 

 To receive audible ring-in notifications the ‘Doorbell Call 

Vibration’ mode (iOS) or ‘Doorbell Call Silence’ mode (Android) must be turned off; 
ensure that the call and media volume are turned up and that ‘Do Not Disturb’ is 
not engaged on your mobile device. 

I do not get any notifications when someone rings my IP Doorbell: 

Make sure that 

notifications from the ControlCam2 App are enabled in your phone; if you are using 
‘Selective Ring-in’ mode, make sure that the IP Doorbell in question is has it’s 
‘Alarm Notify’ enabled; check that you are logged in to the ControlCam2 App; check 
that your mobile device has a good connection to the internet, either via WiFi or 
cellular data; you may need to check the LAN settings in the Web Browser Interface 
to ensure that the default gateway and preferred DNS IP addresses match your 
router address; if you have two routers, ensure the IP Doorbell is connected to the 
primary router; check if a hardware firewall may be configured on your network.
