### Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I can’t find Wi-Fi when adding a camera?

1. Check Wi-Fi Frequency Band: Ensure your camera supports the same Wi-Fi frequency
band as your router. Some cameras only support 2.4 GHz networks, not 5 GHz.

2. Move Closer to the Router: Bring the camera closer to the Wi-Fi router during
the setup process to ensure a strong signal.

3. Check Wi-Fi Password: Please ensure that the Wi-Fi network has been set with 
a password, as the product does not support connect to an unencrypted network; and
please ensure that the Wi-Fi network does not require secondary identity password
verification.

4. Check Phone settings: Please check in the phone settings to see if the APP has
been granted network connection permissions.

5. Use a Different Device: Try using a different smartphone, tablet, or computer
to add the camera to the Wi-Fi network.

What should I do if my camera is failing to connect?

1. Network Consistency: Make sure both your smartphone and the camera are connected
to the same Wi-Fi network. This is crucial for establishing a direct and stable 
connection.

2. Internet Access: Check that your Wi-Fi network is fully operational and has no
issues connecting to the internet. A stable internet connection is essential for
device connectivity.

3. Status Indicator Check: Look for the status indicator light on the camera. It
should be blinking normally. If it’s constantly on, perform a factory reset on the
camera and try the binding process again.

4. Optimal Positioning: If the signal strength is a concern, move the camera closer
to the router. A stronger signal can resolve connection issues during the binding
process.

5. Mobile Hotspot Test: As a diagnostic step, try binding the camera using your 
phone’s mobile hotspot. If the camera connects successfully, it suggests a problem
with the router that may require a reset. Firmware Update: Ensure that your camera’s
firmware is up to date. Manufacturers often release updates to fix bugs and improve
connectivity.

6. Contact Support: If all else fails, reach out to the customer support at help@
imilab.com. We will provide device-specific advice or identify any known issues.

Remember, these steps are designed to guide you through the most common fixes for
camera connectivity issues. If the problem persists, professional assistance may
be needed.

.

What should I do if I can’t access the camera binding page after scanning a QR code
in the app?

1. Please make sure that the current WiFi network can connect to the internet normally.

2. Please position your phone’s camera 5 to 10 cm away from the QR code, ensure 
there is ample lighting, and rescan the code.

.

What should I do if I get a “Device Not Supported” prompt when trying to add a device?

1. Please confirm you are using the correct app.

2. The current device is not supported in your region. Please contact the seller
for assistance.

What should I do if the video is lagging or the picture and sound are out of sync
when viewing the camera footage?

1. Check Network Connection: Ensure you have a stable and high-speed internet connection.
Video stuttering and desynchronization often occur due to slow or unstable internet.

2. Update Firmware and Software: Make sure your camera’s firmware and the viewing
app/software are up-to-date. Manufacturers frequently release updates to fix bugs
and improve performance.

3. Reduce Streaming Quality: Lower the video resolution in the app settings. High-
definition streaming requires more bandwidth, and reducing the quality can help 
smooth playback.

4. Close Other Applications: Close any unnecessary apps or programs that might be
using up bandwidth or processing power on your device.

5. Check Camera Placement: Ensure your camera has a strong Wi-Fi signal. If it’s
too far from the router, consider moving it closer or using a Wi-Fi extender.

6. Use Ethernet Connection: If possible, connect your camera directly to the router
using an Ethernet cable for a more stable connection.

7. Restart Devices: Restart your camera, router, and the device you are using to
view the footage. This can often resolve temporary issues.

8. Check for Interference: Other electronic devices or physical obstructions can
interfere with your Wi-Fi signal. Ensure there are minimal obstructions between 
your router and the camera.

The screen is not loading correctly and shows an “error.” What should I do?

1. Please check if the network connection of the device and the phone is functioning
properly.

2. Try switching networks and reconnecting to see if that resolves the issue.

3. Close the APP from the background and then re-launch it to check if the screen
loads normally.

4. Please check if the device’s status light is working correctly. If the yellow
light is on continuously, please contact our technical support at help@imilab.com
for help.

What should I do if there is a prompt that says “Device Offline/Frequently Offline”?

The issue might be due to poor network conditions or the device being powered off:

1. Please ensure the device is properly powered and try restarting it by unplugging
and plugging it back in.

2. Check if the WiFi the device is connected to can access the internet normally.

3. If the WiFi password has been changed, please reset the device and re-bind it.

4. Confirm whether the camera has a memory card inserted. Remove the memory card
to see if the device still goes offline, as some low-quality memory cards can cause
the camera to go offline.

What should I do if the camera cannot rotate?

1. Please go into the camera settings and tap on “Pan-Tilt Calibration.”

2. Please restart or reset the camera and check if the pan-tilt mechanism is working.

What should I do if the camera is rotating on its own?

1. Please check if the tracking feature has been activated.

2. Please check if the cruise function has been enabled.

3. The camera will automatically calibrate the pan-tilt when it restarts, which 
might be mistakenly perceived as the pan-tilt rotating on its own.

4. Please check if the camera has been shared with other users; their operation 
of the pan-tilt might be mistakenly thought as automatic rotation.

What should I do if the live video feed is blurry?

1. Clean the camera lens.

2. Switch the resolution of the video feed within the APP.

3. Restart the APP or reset the camera.

What should I do if there are no event videos in the home monitoring section of 
the app?

1. Please make sure that the home monitoring is turned on and the relevant settings
are configured.

2. Please check if the Wi-Fi is connecting to the internet normally.

What should I do if the SD card is not detected after insertion?

1. Please format the SD card to FAT32 format, power off the camera, insert the SD
card, and then power it back on.

2. Please insert the SD card into a computer to check if the SD card is damaged.

3. Please try a different SD card, and make sure to use a card from a reputable 
brand.

What should I do if the video playback is loading very slowly?

1. It could be due to an abnormal mobile network; check your phone’s network connection.

2. The network at the camera’s end might be poor, making it unable to read the data(
usually, in this case, the live feed is also unable to load or is very choppy).

What type of SD card do I need to use?

Please purchase a high-speed standard SD card marked with class 10, U1, U3. The 
camera supports a maximum capacity of 256GB.

How long can different capacity memory cards record continuously?

For a 4MP camera:
 32GB: Approximately 1.9 days 64GB: Approximately 3.8 days 128GB:
Approximately 7.6 days 256GB: Approximately 15 days

For a 3MP camera:
 32GB: Approximately 2.5 days 64GB: Approximately 5 days 128GB:
Approximately 10 days 256GB: Approximately 20 days

For a 2MP camera:
 32GB: Approximately 3.8 days 64GB: Approximately 7.6 days 128GB:
Approximately 15 days 256GB: Approximately 1 month

in which the camera is used. The data provided is for reference only.

Why does the camera produce a howling noise during voice calls?

1. During the call, please try to keep the phone and the device in different spaces,
and stay more than 10 meters away from the device, as howling caused by echoes from
close-range calls is a normal phenomenon.

2. If there are many electronic products near the device, electromagnetic interference
may occur, which could lead to howling, noise, and other issues during voice calls.

Why didn’t my phone receive an alarm notification?

1. Check if the home monitoring section has recorded event videos.

2. Uninstall and reinstall the app.

3. It might be a background compatibility issue with Android phones; try using a
different phone.
