My device won’t connect to my network!
- Make sure you are connected to your 2.4 GHz network and your device is blinking red before you start trying to connect your device.
- You may need to reset your device if you are having trouble. Check out page 2 for the location of your device’s reset button.
- To allow the app to locate the network, you may need to allow permissions for location and turn on your Bluetooth.
- If you are not certain what type of network you have, contact your Internet Service Provider and ask them to create a separate, dedicated 2.4GHz network. You can also do this manually in your router’s settings.
- Try moving to a spot closer to your router for connecting.
- You can also purchase a WiFi extender to increase your WiFi range and strength.
- In some cases, you can try using the secondary pairing mode by clicking “Net Pairing Mode” on the Add Device screen (see bottom of page 3). Follow the on-screen instructions.
My device says it’s already bound when I try to connect it!
- When you get the ALREADY BOUND screen, click the blue link to send us an Unbind Request. We can assist you further fron the in-app Help Center.
When my camera is pointed at a window at night, I can’t see through the glare!
- At night, the camera’s IR LEDs will turn on automatically to provide night vision when it gets dark. IR light reflects off of glass. So if you are trying to use your Indoor Camera through a window at night, go into the Device Settings->IR Night Vision and set it to OFF.
When I try to view live view, it says “Offline” or “Cannot establish encryption channel”
- Unplug your camera from power and plug it back in.

-
To save recordings, you can purchase Cloud Recording or install a microSD card (max 128GB, not included) into the camera for LOCAL recordings.

Recordings can be based of motion or can be All Day.
Please note: All Day recording will fill up a microSD card much quicker. -
Every time a motion is detected, a screenshot is saved for your review. They can be found in the Notification Center. From the Home page, click the three lines in the top left, and then click Notifications.
-
If you are using a microSD card, it will continue to record until the the microSD card fills up.
- If you are using Motion based recording: Separate files are recorded for each detection, so when the memory fills up, it will begin to record over the oldest detections, one at a time.
- If you are using All Day recording: One files is saved as the video is continuously recording. When the memory fills up, it will clear the entire recording and start fresh.
Two Way Audio

Why Does It Need The Internet?
1. Our devices must connect to an internet server in order to be fully
operational, otherwise they will not work as desired.
Why Does The App Need Location Permission To Function?
- The latest mobile phone operating systems require location permission to access your Wi-Fi and to detect your Wi-Fi name.
Why Does The App Ask For Permission To Use My Microphone?
- Since the app can be used with camera(s) and it’s 2-way talk feature, Google’s current Terms of Service requests microphone permissions when initially creating the account for device setup.
What’s a Mixed Network?
- Most newer routers are dual band and broadcast a separate 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz network band. By default, they are setup to use the same Wi-Fi name and password for both. This combined dual network with the same name and password is referred to as a “Mixed Network.”
My “Live View” Isn’t Working When I Access The App!
- If ‘Live View’ is not working, leave the Energizer Connect app and go to your phone’s settings. Go to the Apps settings, locate the Energizer Connect App, storage, and then clear cache.
