For privacy protection and account security, the same account can only be logged in on one phone at a time. If the same account is logged in on a second device, the first device will be automatically logged out.

If you want to access the camera from multiple phones, you can share the camera with another account. The shared user needs to download the app and register an account first.

There are two ways to share a camera:
Face-to-Face Sharing
This method works when both phones are together.
  • Generate the share QR code of the camera The camera admin taps the Share icon on the live window on the homepage, or taps the Share button on the Camera Setting page, then taps Camera sharing to generate a share QR code.
  • Scan the share QR code using the shared user's phone The shared user taps the + icon in the top right corner of the homepage, then taps Add Friend's Camera. The user can also tap Add Friend's Camera from the User page. Then scan the generated share QR code.
  • Accept the camera access request After the QR code is scanned successfully, the camera admin will receive a guest user request. Once the admin accepts the request, the shared user will be able to see the camera on the homepage and access it. The Person icon indicates that it is a shared camera.

Remote Sharing
This method works when the two users are not in the same place.
  • Generate the share QR code of the camera The camera admin taps the Share icon on the live window on the homepage, or taps the Share button on the Camera Setting page, then taps Camera sharing to generate a share QR code.
  • Send the QR code to the shared user The camera admin takes a screenshot of the QR code and sends it to the shared user.
  • Save the screenshot The shared user saves the screenshot on their phone.
  • Scan the screenshot of the share QR code The shared user taps the + icon in the top right corner of the homepage, then taps Add Friend's Camera. The user can also tap Add Friend's Camera from the User page. Then tap the Picture icon in the top right corner and select the saved screenshot to scan.
  • Accept the camera access request After the QR code is scanned successfully, the camera admin will receive a guest user request. Once the admin accepts the request, the shared user will be able to see the camera on the homepage and access it. The Person icon indicates that it is a shared camera.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to let us know.

If camera sharing fails, please check the following:
  1. Make sure you are not using the same account on multiple phones
For privacy protection and account security, one account can only be logged in on one phone at a time. If the same account is logged in on another device, the first device will be automatically logged out. If two people need to access the same camera, please do not share login credentials. Instead, use the camera sharing feature.

  1. Follow the correct sharing process
Please make sure the camera is shared through the app:
  • Open the app on the admin's phone.
  • Generate a share QR code using the camera sharing function.
  • Ask the other user to open their own app account.
  • The other user scans the share QR code to add the camera.
  1. Check the QR code if it cannot be scanned
If the QR code shows “unusable data” or cannot be scanned properly, please try the following:
  • Make sure both phones are using the latest version of the app.
  • Make sure the shared user has already registered their own account.
  • Try generating a new QR code and scan it again.
  1. Why the same account cannot be used on multiple phones
The app system only allows one active session per account for security reasons. If someone logs in with the same account on another device, the previous device will be automatically logged out.

If the issue still persists, please feel free to contact us and provide more details so we can help you further.

分享权限

离线

设备显示离线,无法连接到 App

  • 先提供故障排查步骤
If your device appears offline in the app, it usually means the camera has temporarily lost its connection to the Wi-Fi network. Please check the following:
  1. Check the device power status
  • For battery cameras, please make sure the device has enough battery and is powered on. If the battery is low, please fully charge the device using a 5V/1.5A charger.
  • For plug-in cameras, please ensure the power cable and adapter are properly connected.
  1. Check your router and Wi-Fi network Please confirm that your router is working properly and that other devices (such as your phone) can connect to the Wi-Fi and access the internet. If the Wi-Fi name or password has been changed, please re-add the device to the app.
  2. Check the Wi-Fi signal Weak Wi-Fi signals may cause the device to go offline. Please try moving the device closer to the router and avoiding obstacles such as thick walls, metal objects, or electronic interference.
  3. Check your phone network Please ensure your phone has a stable internet connection and that the app has network permission enabled. You can also try refreshing the device list in the app or switching your phone’s network (Wi-Fi / mobile data).
If the device still remains offline after these checks, please let us know and we will be happy to assist you further.

运动检测

不检测运动/不录像

检查摄像头安装位置,app设置,网络,及挥手测试
If your camera is not detecting motion or recording events, please try the following:
  • Ensure the camera is not installed behind glass and has a clear view.
  • Confirm Motion Detection is enabled in the app and adjust the sensitivity if needed.
  • Make sure the camera is not in sleep mode and exit Live View.
  • Restart the camera and ensure the network connection is stable.
You can also test by walking in front of the camera to see if the PIR sensor is triggered.

误报频繁(树叶、光线变化、宠物)

Please allow us to explain how motion detection works: when the PIR sensor perceives a change in the environment, motion detection will be triggered, and the camera will start recording. The change in the environment can be a moving object, light change, the alternation of hot and cold air, etc. Particularly common false triggers include trees shaking after being blown by the wind, the cold air of the air conditioning, etc.

Here are tips for you to adjust:
  • Change the position of the camera to avoid false triggers.
  • Set motion detection sensitivity to Low or Medium. After doing that, the distance the PIR sensor can detect will become shorter so that false triggers may be reduced.

运动检测延迟

网络,固件,app设置检查
A short delay in motion detection can happen for several reasons:
  • Network issues: Weak Wi-Fi or unstable internet may cause delays. Try restarting your router and placing the camera closer to it.
  • Firmware/App updates: Delays may appear after updates. If it continues, please let us know with examples or timestamps.
  • Live view mode: Motion detection is paused while watching live view — please exit live view to resume detection.
  • Cooldown time: This setting adds a short waiting period between two motion detections to avoid too many recordings in a short time.
        You can turn it off or set a shorter cooldown time under Camera Settings > Motion Detection > Recording Settings > Cloud Cooldown Time.

If the delay persists, please share more details so we can assist you further.

运动检测不灵敏/有些动作没录下来(漏检)

We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Here are some important reminders regarding the camera's installation and motion detection performance:
  1. Avoid installing the camera behind a window or glass, as this can hinder its ability to detect motions effectively.
  2. Please be aware that when you're in live view mode, the camera will not detect motions, record videos, or send notifications. Motion detection is specifically designed to function outside of live view.

For optimal motion detection performance, we recommend the following:
  1. Install the camera at a height of approximately 7 feet and angle it downwards by 10° to 15°. This positioning will allow the camera's motion detector to perform at its best. Please refer to the first attached picture for a visual guide.
  2. The motion sensor is particularly sensitive to movements across the camera's field of view, rather than movements toward or away from the camera. To ensure the best performance, make sure that the typical movements you wish to monitor cross the camera's field of view. You can refer to the second attached picture for reference.
  3. The motion detector performs most effectively for movements within a range of 5 to 20 feet (1.5 to 6 meters) from the camera.

We hope these guidelines will help optimize the motion detection capabilities of your camera. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to assist you.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

如何恢复录像

录像删除后无法恢复
We understand how important recorded footage can be, and we’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

However, once cloud videos are deleted or have expired, they are permanently removed from our system and cannot be restored.

Additionally, the camera only records when motion is detected. If no motion was detected at the time, no video would have been created, and as a result, there would be no footage available to recover.

We truly appreciate your understanding. If you have any other questions or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to let us know—we’re always here to help.

电池

设备无法充电/充不满

提供问题原因及排查方案
When the camera fails to charge or is not fully charged, it may be caused by the following reasons, please check them one by one:
Reason 1: The charger is out of specification.
If the charging current is lower than 1.5A, the charging may be slow, and if the current is higher than 1.5A, it has no effect; if the voltage is higher than 5V, the camera may be damaged.
Solution: Please make sure the charger is 5V/1.5A. If the charger is 5V, please try to use a new charging cable to charge your camera to see if it works.
Reason 2: The charging port is defective.
Possible situations include: the Micro USB cable and the charger or the charging port of the camera are not plugged in properly; there are objects on the charger or the charging port of the camera.
Solution:
  1. Please confirm whether there are objects in the camera's charging port or the charger port and clean it before charging;
  2. Please check the Micro USB cable is in good contact with the ports on both ends of the charger and camera;
  3. Please try to replace the Micro USB cable or charger, and confirm that the charger and the USB cable are connected to other devices (such as mobile phones or computers) and can supply power normally.
Reason 3: The charging cable is damaged or broken.
Solution: Please replace the Micro USB cable that can be worked normally.
Reason 4: The length of the charging cable is too long.
Solution: The required cable length is generally not more than 16 feet. Please replace the Micro USB cable with a suitable length.
Reason 5: The charging environment is not good.
Solution: The temperature will be too high or too low, which will make it impossible to charge. Please place the camera in a suitable temperature environment (0°C ~ 45°C) for charging.
Reason 6: Camera hardware error causes the failure of charging.
Solution: Please send us the serial number(S/N) of the camera that cannot be charged normally so that we can further investigate the issue for you.
BTW, the camera indicates a yellow light for charging and a green light for a full charge. It will take 6~8 hours to fully charge the camera.

太阳能板无法充电

Sorry for the inconvenience you're experiencing. Let's troubleshoot the issue:
  1. When the camera is connected to the solar panel and the solar panel is positioned to receive direct sunlight, does the app display a green charging icon, as pictured?
  2. If yes, it indicates that the solar panel does charge the camera. Keep in mind that the solar panel is designed to provide trickle charging to sustain the camera's battery level, rather than fully charging it from low to full. To optimize the performance, make sure your camera's battery is fully charged before connecting it to the solar panel. Please fully charge the camera using a 5V/1.5A charger.
  3. If not, please ensure the connections between the camera and solar panel are secure and free from any obstructions or damage.
If the issue persists, please try connecting a charger directly to the charging port on the top of the camera to check whether the camera can charge normally. This will help us determine whether the issue is related to the solar panel or the camera's charging port.
If we can be of further assistance, please let us know.


续航时间短

续航时间短和设备的使用情况有关系,让用户检查设备触发情况
As for the battery issue, please note that battery life mainly depends on the total working duration of the camera. The following factors may lead to fast battery consumption. Please check them one by one:
  1. The camera is frequently activated to start video recording.
    1. Change the location or angle of the camera. Please allow us to explain how motion detection works: when the PIR sensor perceives a change in the environment, motion detection will be triggered. The change in the environment can be a moving object, light change, the alternation of hot and cold air, etc. Particularly common false triggers include trees shaking after being blown by the wind, the cold air of the air conditioning, etc.
    2. Set motion detection sensitivity to Low or Medium.
    3. Shorten the recording duration of the camera. The camera currently supported recording durations are 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, and automatic (up to 3 minutes). For your reference: about 3300~3500 10-second videos can be recorded once fully charged (Note: This data is obtained by testing in the laboratory environment. ).
    4. Set Sleeping mode. This feature allows you to schedule the working hours for the camera. Whether the camera enters sleep mode on schedule or you enable Sleep, the camera will be deactivated. Under this condition, the live feed will not be accessed, motion detection (including push notifications, recordings, and camera alarm) will stop working. This can reduce power consumption to save battery life.
  2. The user frequently watches live broadcasts or adjusts camera settings on their mobile phones. Please do these less frequently.
  3. The network the camera is connected to is poor, so the camera keeps actively searching for the network.
    1. Place the camera as close to the router as possible, and try to avoid thick walls, bricks, ceramics, electromagnetic wave equipment, a large amount of liquid, and large metal objects;
    2. Confirm the Wi-Fi router model and check if the router restricts the Internet access to the camera (such as network speed limit, etc.);
    3. Connect the camera to the other Wi-Fi routers.
  4. Extremely cold weather may also cause a decrease in battery life. We suggest that the camera should be installed in a suitable temperature environment (-10° ~ 45°C).
  5. Night vision will consume more battery. Turning on night vision will consume more power, and in a dark environment, the camera will use the infrared sensor to assist shooting, which will consume more power than in a well-lit environment. It is generally not recommended that you turn off night vision, but if you do not need to monitor at night (watch live and video), you can turn off night vision.

Hope this can solve the issue you met. If not or you have any other problems, please let us know.

未识别出鸟类

For the issue of misidentification/unable to identify bird species, common reasons may include:

  1. Check Lens Protection Film:
  • Ensure that the lens protection film is removed, and keep the camera lens clean.
Solution: If a protective film is present, carefully remove it. Regularly clean the camera lens to maintain optimal visibility.

  1. Incomplete Bird Image Details:
  • Birds appearing at specific angles/poses may result in obscured recognition areas.
  • Lighting conditions such as backlighting or low-light environments can affect feature extraction.
  • Environmental factors like rain or fog can reduce visibility and image resolution.
  • Color variations and background interference may contribute to misidentification.
Solution: Improve image capture conditions by adjusting angles, optimizing lighting, and avoiding adverse weather conditions. Ensure a clear view of the bird with minimal background interference.

  1. Similar Appearances of Different Bird Species:
  • Distinct species may share visual similarities, leading to algorithmic misidentification.
Solution: Enhance the algorithm's training dataset with diverse samples, focusing on the distinguishing features of visually similar bird species.

If the problems persist even after reviewing the mentioned settings, we encourage you to provide feedback on misidentified videos and examples of correctly identified bird species via the app. You can open the app > tap Library > tap the recordings and then you can see the "Send Feedback".

格式化失败

Sometimes after inserting a Micro SD card, you will hear “Please use the app to format your Sd card first”, that's because your Micro SD Card is not in the correct format FAT32. You can format it on VicoHome: tap the camera "setting" icon->tap “SD card management”-> tap “Format SD card”. However, sometimes it may fail to format the Micro SD card on VicoHome. In this case, you need to use a computer to format it into FAT32 format first, then format it on VicoHome again.

Why the SD card cannot be detected or formatted?
  • Please note the camera supports most branded SD cards, for example, SanDisk, but might not support some no-brand SD cards.
  • Expended SD cards and read-only SD cards are not supported.
  • This camera only supports the FAT32 Micro SD card.
  • It supports up to 128GB SD card.
Please check and confirm.

You can activate the camera by tapping Wake up on the live window anytime.

Please check and confirm.
