Please check the LED indicator status of your camera to see if your camera is connected to Internet.
Please check the Internet access of your smartphone, if the signal is too weak there may be problems with streaming.
If you are not able to stream the video even when your smartphone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your camera, your camera’s Wi-Fi signal may be too weak.
As Wi-Fi coverage always has its limitation, we have some suggestions:
Please make sure there are not too many objects around your Wi-Fi router or camera, as this can decrease the Wi-Fi signal.
If your Router or camera has external antennas, please try to change the antennas’ direction to see if this improves the signal.
Try to put your camera in a new location where it has better signal.
If your house is very big, and the place where you want to locate the camera is out of the Wi-Fi range, you can consider adding a range extender to extend the Wi-Fi coverage.
The App says “Failed to configure device network”
Please reset your camera and follow the App set up process to set up your wifi connection again.
During the configuration process you can try the following:
1. During the wifi connection process, try to put your smartphone less than 30cm away from the camera and turn the phone sound on.
2. Try to move the camera closer to your router to complete the set up process. once set up you can move the camera to a different location
3. If your camera supports only 2.4GHz (means it is not a Dual Band Wi-Fi model), please make sure your smartphone is connected to your router’s 2.4GHz Wi-Fi during the configuration.

The camera disconnects frequently, the connection is not stable.
