Security Camera CZ

Remote turn on

There are several ways how to turn on the camera remotely. You can click on the power icon, swipe over the camera preview image or simply tap on the box announcing that the camera is turned off or offline. All these gestures result in an attempt to turn on the camera remotely using a special command that is send to the camera. If the camera device is reachable over internet, the command wakes up the camera and turn it on.

When camera does not turn on

When an attempt is made to turn on the camera, but the camera doesn't wake up and turn on within about half minute, a message is shown. This means one of the following:

  • The "wake up" command didn't reach the camera, because the camera is not connected to internet.
  • The application on the camera device has been stopped completely or crashed.
  • The whole camera device is down (for instance because it had exhausted the battery).

Before making any other attempts on the camera side, first try to restart the application on your "monitor" phone. To do that, close the app on your "monitor" phone, remove the app from the list of apps running on background and then start the app. This step helps in situations when there is something wrong on the "monitor" side.

If you think that there is a problem with internet connection on the camera side, you can just wait until the internet connection is back again. The camera reconnects to internet automatically and starts to be online as soon as the internet connection is working again.

If the steps above didn't help, then there is some problem with the camera device. Go to the camera device and check if the device (phone) is turned on, it is not frozen and if the application is running. In each case it is recommended to restart the whole device (phone). Also if possible, restart the WiFi router as well.

Prevention

To prevent situation when the camera cannot be remotely turned on, check the following:

  • The camera device is plugged into a charger and both the charger and the charging cable are in good condition.
  • The internet connection on the camera side is working, stable and the camera phone has sufficient signal strength (at least two "dashes").
  • The application is running on the display of the camera (read more).
  • There aren't tons of old applications installed on the camera device. These applications can consume the phone's resources (memory, processor) which can cause the phone will have not enough resources for the Security Camera CZ application.
