Troubleshooting and error codes
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| My camera feels warm while it is operating | It is normal for the camera to feel warm during typical use, especially while it is recording high-resolution video or transmitting a Wi-Fi signal. |
| My memory card has degraded and needs to be replaced | Periodically format the memory card (at least once every six months). If a memory card error alert appears, try formatting the card and then replace it if necessary. Turn off the device when not in use or ensure Parking Guard is enabled. Use a higher capacity, high-quality memory card (Class 10 or higher) from a reputable vendor. |
| My video recordings are blurry | Clean the camera lens and windshield. Verify the windshield area in front of the camera is clear. Move the device if necessary. |
| My video recordings are choppy or incomplete | Use a high-quality memory card (Class 10 or higher). If viewing wirelessly on a smartphone, try a location with less interference or transfer the video. Format the memory card after transferring important recordings. Update the device software. |
