Re: No video of motion detection

Jump to solution

I don’t get it. Worked perfectly during the free trial. Paid for the subscription and now nothing works except for live camera. Tried everything suggested but still doesn’t work. Feeling like a refund is in order unless a solution is offered very soon.

I'm having a similar issue, except I do not have a Smart Home subscription- never did but "event" stills were always listed in "events" until recently.   Did you stop with ALL smart notifications unless you paid for the subscription?   Thanks.

Yes.  Weird.  After about 2 weeks---Motion events just suddenly appeared again!

Ok, I have these 4 cameras  working. I had run all 4 on the no subscription trial period. I then subscribed and during the change over, I ran into no motion detection. So I updated the app latest 12/01/23 release. Then one by one I deleted and re-install each camera thru the app, I did not factory reset them just added each back into the app thru the setup,  only took a couple minutes for each one.  Working great now.

Just an added detail. I noticed the cameras grab an IP address thru DHCP.  That's ok makes it simple as alot of devices do that, but it's not idea for critical devices. Why ? well a DHCP IP address is a time leased address, lease is up the device is delt with and gets a new address, automatic process ? Maybe, but sometime one must hard reset the device so it can use its new delt IP address. And will be offline until a restart. So not ideal for a critical device. I'm going look at blocking off the IP address for each camera so thier ip address will not expire and always be assigned a non-expiring dedicated IP thru my router DHCP admin interface.

One of my 3 cameras has stopped recording and taking events. It won’t even record if I try to record in real time. I’ve restarted the camera and deleted and added it back. What can I do to fix it?

I've have 4 running, no issues. Updated software to newest release. All the detection settings on each are set the same. At 50 % in the motion detection sensitivity, All have detection zone on and setup. Using smart detection and selections. If i make a change i normally warm reset the camera or just turn it off/on. And SYNC time under advanced settings. .This works best for mine. Network is a 5g / 2.4g.
