Troubleshooting
Q: Failed to set up the device?

- Ensure the LED on the device is flashing green before setup.
- When connecting to the device hotspot, if the app prompts that the WLAN network from the doorbell has no Internet access, please keep connecting to this WLAN anyway.
- Reset the device, and then set it up again.
Q: Failed to receive push notifications after an alarm is triggered?
- Ensure Notifications are both enabled in the app and your mobile device’s settings.
- Ensure activity zones are properly drawn for the areas that you want your doorbell to monitor.
