FAQ

  1. Q: Camera permission management: How to invite family and friends to use my camera together?
    A: Open the Vicor App and select your camera on the home page. Click the share button on the home page or the “Share” in the camera settings to enter the sharing page, and then click “Invite friends” to generate a QR code. Your friends can now get some of the access rights by scanning the QR code on your phone.

  2. Q: Why doesn’t the Wi-Fi name appear when I connect to Wi-Fi?
    A: On Apple devices with iOS13 and above, you need to turn on the “location permission” for the app in the system settings and change it to “allow when using.”

  3. Q: Will the camera show red lights when night vision is activated?
    A: The built-in infrared lamp beads make the camera only show some dim red lights when night vision is activated, but the image quality is still clear under no light environment.

  4. Q: What are the requirements for Wi-Fi?
    A: Please use a 2.4GHz wireless network. The device does not support the 5GHz wireless network. Meanwhile, please set the Wi-Fi authentication method to WPA2-PSK or other lower level of the security method. A password is required.

  5. Q: How far should the camera be placed from the router?
    A: After testing, the Wi-Fi connection distance can normally reach up to 150 meters in the open area. However, the actual situation depends on the strength of Wi-Fi and its surrounding environment (thick walls, electromagnetic devices, and large metal objects will all cause interference to the Wi-Fi signals). If the camera connection signal is weak or unstable, please place the camera as close to the router as possible.

  6. Q: What is the maximum length of the recording time?
    A: You can choose the recording time in the app. The camera can record for a fixed time or “auto” mode, depending on whether there is a person. The maximum length of a video is 3 minutes.

  7. Q: How to quickly view videos by category?
    A: Click the icon in the upper left corner of the “Library” page to start the search filters. Select the search settings and then click save to view the video playback.

  8. Q: What should I do when the device is in malfunction?
    A: Long press the power button to restart the camera. If there is no response, you can open the back shell of the camera, then open the rubber plug on the side then press the reset button with a pointed object to force the power off, then long-press the power button to restart the camera.
