Q: How do I connect the camera to a different router?
A: Delete the camera from the list of devices using the SmarterHome™ app. Follow the pairing steps using the new router.
Q: Why doesn’t the camera recognise the SD card?

Q: Why don’t I get push notifications on my smart phone?
A: Check that the SmarterHome™ app is running on your phone and that it has been given the correct level of notification permission in your phone’s system settings.
