    Why the VicoHome camera failed to add?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you fail to add, please check the following FAQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why VicoHome camera prompts Wi-Fi Password Error?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Usually because the wifi password is wrong, please confirm the wifi password and re-add the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why VicoHome camera prompts Authentication error?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    VicoHome cameras do not support enterprise networks, please ensure that your Wi-Fi network is not an enterprise-level network, and the device supports only the network with the security level below WPA-2:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why VicoHome camera prompts Wi-Fi not found?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    please check whether you select or enter the correct Wi-Fi name, and place the device near the Wi-Fi router and ensure that the router is powered on. Please note that 5Ghz Wi-Fi cannot be searched by the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why VicoHome camera prompts Retrieving IP timeout?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      VicoHome camera feature settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Enable night vision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      After\u00a0“Night Vision”<\/strong>\u00a0is enabled, the camera will be able to “see” clearly in the dark. Particularly, it will offer high-quality nighttime images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To enable\u00a0“Night Vision”<\/strong>, please tap the camera\u00a0“setting” icon<\/strong>\u00a0> tap\u00a0“Lighting Setting”<\/strong>\u00a0> enable\u00a0“Night Vision”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"Enable<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      There are two night vision modes,\u00a0infrared mode<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0white light mode<\/strong>. The difference between the two modes is in the color rendering of the picture. In infrared mode, the picture is in black and white and is clearer while in white light mode, the color of the picture will be restored to the greatest extent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"Enable<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Currently, most models of cameras support both infrared mode and white light mode while a few models only support infrared mode. For those who do not support white light mode, there are no white lights on the camera body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Enable light\/spotlight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Important: <\/strong>Most battery cameras have a white light\/spotlight. However, for a few battery cameras, they don’t have a white light\/spotlight. Neither do the plug-in cameras.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

      You can tap the camera\u00a0“setting” icon\u00a0<\/strong>> tap “Lighting Setting”<\/strong>\u00a0> enable\u00a0“Flashlight Alarm”<\/strong>. After that, the white light\/spotlight will be flashing for a while once the camera is triggered by any movements.\u00a0Of course, if there is no\u00a0“Flashlight Alarm”\u00a0<\/strong>option under the “Lighting Setting”<\/strong>\u00a0page, that means that your camera does not support a white light\/spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"Enable<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      However, if you want the camera’s white light\/spotlight to be on constantly in the dark or at night, you can turn off\u00a0“Flashlight Alarm”<\/strong>\u00a0and set\u00a0“Night Vision Mode”<\/strong>\u00a0as\u00a0“White light mode<\/strong>” instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"Enable<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Adjust the VicoHome camera volume<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Yes, you can tap the camera\u00a0“setting” icon<\/strong>->tap\u00a0Audio Setting<\/strong>\u00a0to enable the siren of the camera, set the language and volume for the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"Adjust<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      • Audible Alarm <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        When you turn the Audible<\/strong> Alarm <\/strong>on, the camera will sound an alarm when it detects any motion. You can set the duration of the alarm to 5s\/10s\/15s. You can also adjust its volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • Voice Language<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          You can select the language for the camera so the camera will report, for example, “Wi-Fi connected” in the language you select.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          • Voice Volume<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            You can also adjust the volume when the camera reports anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Adjusting Night Vision Sensitivity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            The sensitivity of night vision is actually the sensitivity of the ambient light sensor. The ambient light sensor senses the brightness of the light available around your camera. When it senses that the light is darker than the threshold, the camera will enter the night vision mode. By adjusting the sensitivity, you can control how easily the camera enters the night vision mode. The higher the sensitivity, the easier the camera enters the night vision mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            To adjust the sensitivity, please tap the camera “setting” icon > tap “Lighting Setting” > tap “Light sensitivity level”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
