Why is my camera feed losing audio?
Loss of audio to your camera feed can be caused by a dip in the Wi-Fi connection strength to your home network. When there is a poor connection, our devices will prioritise video over audio to best ensure the safety of your home.
If your camera loses audio frequently, you may want to consider taking some steps to improve the Wi-Fi connection, such as adjusting the position of your camera or installing a Wi-Fi extender (opens in new tab) near the camera. You can also take a few steps to improve your overall signal strength (opens in new tab).
You can also toggle audio recording on and off in the SimpliSafe® mobile app by navigating to:
Choose My System from the bottom navigation bar
Select Camera Settings
Choose your Camera from the list of available cameras
Toggle Mic & Audio ON or OFF, as needed
If your camera feed continues to lose its audio after taking the above steps, we recommend resetting your camera. You can find the steps to reset each of our SimpliSafe® cameras in the Help Center articles below:
