Troubleshooing Guide

Q1. How can I watch the videos from PC?

• Please visit https://www.ucloudcam.com, then log in to the system with your Pixplus App account and password.
  Q2. Why can’t I get push notifications of alerts on my mobile device?
• Make sure you allow PixPlus to send you notifications in the settings of your mobile device.
• Make sure you switch on all the options in Push
  Notification Settings.
• Make sure the current time is not during the scheduled time that stops the notification.
• When you watch the live video of the camera, the mobile device will not get any notification.
  *Email notification is only available for the camera with
  Cloud Service.

Q3. How can I turn off the floodlights?
The image of the camera will be black & white at night if the Night Vision is ON. If there is alert when the camera detects a moving object, the floodlights will be on and the image of the camera will turn to colorful. When the alert stops, the floodlights will be off and the image of the camera will turn to black & white.
*Goto the LIVE interface of the camera, tap More and Auto, then tap OFF to turn off the floodlights.
Q4. Why does the camera make alerts when there are no moving objects?
The camera recognizes the moving objects according to the change of the image pixel, so the changes of the light and shadow within the monitoring area might be detected as moving objects.
* Go to Setting > Detection Sensitivity* to lower the detection sensitivity to reduce the false alerts.
Goto Setting > Detection area** to select the area for motion detection to reduce the unnecessary false alerts.
