Camera Not Responding
WHAT IT MEANS
If your Outdoor Camera is not responding, it’s likely due to a low or dead battery. You’ll need to remove the battery from the camera and charge it with the usb charging cord that came included with your camera.
You can also try bringing the camera and Base Station closer together, as too far of a distance between them can weaken the Outdoor Camera’s connection to your system and cause this error.
Camera Not Connected to WiFi
