Note:
If your indoor camera is getting too warm, make sure it’s not in direct sunlight, above a
fireplace, around a vent, or near another heat source. If it is, you might need to move it to another
location to resolve the issue.
If your offline camera isn’t permanently mounted, moving it a little bit can make a big
difference. Your camera may be slightly out of range and can become disconnected due to
wireless interference from large furniture and appliances, walls and floors, and other electronics.
Try moving it a foot or two away from its original location, wait a few minutes, and check your
camera’s live stream in the app.
Try moving your camera closer to your Wi-Fi router, then check if your camera’s connection
becomes more reliable.
For mounted cameras, try moving your Wi-Fi router closer to your camera instead. If this
resolves the issue but you want to move your router back to where it was, you may need to
extend your Wi-Fi network’s range.
If this resolves the issue but you want to move your camera or Wi-Fi router back to where it was,
you may need to extend your Wi-Fi network's range.
