The LEDs on
the IP camera
are too bright.
Can I turn
them off?
You can turn off the LEDs of
your IP camera. Read the
Online LED indication
section
under
Camera settings
in
the online app manual for
instructions.
Why does the
IP camera
not respond
normally?
Try the following (in the order
listed) for common cure:
1. Disconnect the power to the
camera unit.
2. Wait a few minutes before
connecting power back to the
camera unit.
3. Run the mobile app again.
Why is my
screen in black
and white?
The IP camera has a light
sensor that measures the
ambient light. When the ambient
light is dim, such as during
nighttime or in a dark room, the
camera activates its infrared
LEDs, and displays the camera
view in black and white.
Why does my

show offline?
Why is the
connection lost
every now and
then?
The camera unit may lose the
Internet connection. Check your
network and the router setting.

on the composition of the wall. You may need to
purchase the screws and anchors separately to
