Common Problems

Q: Fail to connect Wi-Fi and pair?
A:
Please check the following problems and re-add the device when you connect Wi-Fi

  1. Only support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Please disable 5GHz Wi-Fi network if you use dual band router;
  2. Keep the camera closer to your router;
  3. Please pair and connect the camera in an environment without interference.

Q: Is it normal for the speaker to make squealing sound?
A:
Your smartphone and the camera maybe cause mutual interference and lead to the squealing sound from speaker when you use "Talk". Please keep your smartphone away form the camera to eliminate interference.

Q: Why there is no sound when I communicate with the camera on my smartphone?
A:
Make sure that you enable "Talk" function on your smartphone. If it doesn't receive the sound from the camera, please check if the microphone is muted.

Q: How to enable "Activity detection reminder" on the eWeLink APP?
A:
Tap "" on the upper right corner on the camera page, access setting page and enable "Activity detection reminder", then select the right one from "high, medium and low sensitivity" and turn on "Sound Alert". The camera will alarm once any motion is detected.

Q: Why videos get stuck when playing?
A:
To ensure videos are playing fluently, please connect broadband network. We recommend to use the uplink broadband of 2Mbps for the camera and the downlink broadband of 2Mbps for the smartphone. The videos may get stuck if the camera is connected to a Wi-Fi network that many users connected.

Q: How to avoid triggering false alarms?
A:
The motion detection is used to monitor object movement rather than human movement, so ray of light, shadow of trees, flying animal can trigger activity detection reminder. To prevent triggering false alarms, please set the motion detection sensitivity the "low level".
