After testing, the Wi-Fi connection distance can normally
reach 150 meters in an open area. But the actual situation
depends on the strength of WiFi and the surrounding
environment (thick walls, electromagnetic equipment, large
metal objects can interfere with the Wi-Fi signal) If the
camera connection signal is weak or unstable, place the
camera as close to the router as possible.
Q13: Why can't the TF card be recognized ?
After inserting the TF card into the TF card slot of the
camera, check whether the capacity of the TF card will be
displayed in the "Settings" and "Recording Settings" of the
device in the APP. If it prompts "Micro SD card not inserted",
it means that the TF card recognition failed.
1. Please use a branded TF card.
2. The TF card can be recognized by the computer
normally..
3. It is recommended that the TF card capacity is between
32-128G.
4. It is recommended to use a high-speed TF card of C10 or
above.
5. Try to plug and unplug the TF card several times.
6. It is recommended to try another TF card.
7. It may take some time for the camera to recognize the TF
card. After inserting the card, wait for about 3 minutes
before observing
Please comply with local laws and regulations，use the
product in a legal and compliant manner.
