Questions & Answers
Question:
I have forgotten my password. What can I do?
Press and hold the „M“ + „E“ keys, switch on the unit, turn the switch to the „TEST“ position and switch off the unit. The camera will be reset to factory settings, all last set parameters (including any passwords) will be deleted.
Question:
My camera displays the following „At low voltage it is difficult to obtain night video. / It is difficult to obtain night video under low voltage.“ What does this mean?
When the camera is turned on, the message „It is difficult to obtain night video under low voltage“ appears, indicating that the battery is very low. If the battery voltage is lower than 4.0 V, the infrared light cannot be switched on. The camera cannot take pictures or record videos at night. The power consumption of the infrared light is very high and exceeds normal power consumption. It is recommended to set the video length shorter or as needed during the day. The camera does not need to switch on the infrared light and can still record videos.
