What are the camera specs?

3MP with WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) and 1080p videos.

What are the requirements for Wi-Fi?

Smart Bird Feeder Cam only works with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
  • Why are 5G Wi-Fi not supported?
      2.4GHz Wi-Fi and 5GHz Wi-Fi are wireless signals that represent electromagnetic waves of different frequencies. The 5GHz signal has a high frequency and a short wavelength, while the 2.4GHz signal has a low frequency and a long wavelength. Therefore, the 2.4GHz signal has less attenuation when passing through obstacles, and the ability to penetrate the wall is higher than that of the 5GHz signal; when the distance between the routers is the same, the 5GHz signal is weaker than the 2.4GHz signal. Therefore, the camera only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, not 5GHz Wi-Fi.
  • Notes for Wi-Fi Configuration
    • If your router only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, the camera can directly connect it;
    • If your router supports both 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and 5GHz Wi-Fi, and you've enabled "Smart Connect" or something like that, the SSID and password of 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and 5GHz Wi-Fi are the same, so the camera can directly connect to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi automatically;
    • If your router supports both 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and 5GHz Wi-Fi, and you've not enabled "Smart Connect" or something like that yet, then the SSID of 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and 5GHz Wi-Fi is different. The camera can only connect to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi but not to 5GHz Wi-Fi;
    • If your router only supports 5GHz Wi-Fi and does not support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, you may need to replace a router that supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
  • Other Notes
    • Please ensure that the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal strength is good. If the camera is too far away from the router, it may not connect to the Wi-Fi.
    • If your Wi-Fi router has been connected to too many devices, for example, phones and computers, the camera may fail to connect to the Wi-Fi because of the IP address conflict.

Troubleshooting

Why is the connection unsuccessful after scanning?

If the camera fails to scan the QR code generated from the app, there could be several reasons. Some common reasons include Not being in scanning mode; Poor lighting; Dirty or damaged camera lens and Incorrect orientation. Please check them one by one.
  1. The camera is not in scanning mode (emits a continuous "Ding Dong Ding Dong" sound)
For the battery camera, please turn on the camera by long pressing the power button and then double-click the power button.
For the plug-in camera, please unplug and re-plug to ensure the power adapter and the power cable are connected properly. If it still does not work, you can find the reset button on the top of the camera and then press and hold it for 3s (for some models, you may need to find the reboot hole on the top of the camera and then press the reboot hole with the pin included in the box or a pointed object like a needle for 3s).
  1. Poor lighting
The QR code may not be visible clearly due to insufficient lighting, which can cause the camera to struggle with scanning it. This means that the environment where the QR code is being scanned is too dark or not properly illuminated. It can cause the QR code to be difficult to read by the camera.
To address this issue, it's important to ensure that the environment where the QR code is being scanned is well-lit. This can be done by turning on lights or moving to a brighter area. Additionally, holding the camera steady and avoiding any sudden movements can also help improve the accuracy of the scan.
  1. Dirty or damaged camera lens
Any dirt or damage to the camera lens can prevent it from scanning the QR code properly. If the camera lens is dirty or damaged in any way, it can prevent the camera from capturing a clear image of the QR code. Dirt, dust, or fingerprints on the camera lens can create a blur or smudge that distorts the image of the QR code, making it more difficult for the camera to read it.
To avoid this issue, it's essential to keep your camera lens clean and free of any damage. You can do this by using a microfiber cloth to wipe the lens gently and avoid touching it with your fingers.
  1. Incorrect orientation
If the QR code is not aligned properly with the camera lens, or if the camera is held at the wrong angle, it may not be able to scan the QR code.
Please make sure the phone and camera are aligned and slowly move the camera back and forth to the QR code on the phone to find the focus. The distance between the camera and the phone should be about 6~12 inches (15~30 cm). Please do not scan the QR code in a backlight or dark environment.
If you are still experiencing issues with scanning QR codes after you try the above suggestions, we recommend that you contact us through the Feedback option available on the app. This will allow us to better provide you with more personalized support to resolve the problem. Our support team will review your feedback and respond to you as soon as possible with any suggestions or solutions to address the issue.

What should I do if the device is not recording/detecting motions?

Security cameras are crucial for maintaining safety and surveillance. However, it can be frustrating when they fail to record or detect movements accurately. In this guide, we will address common factors that may contribute to this issue and provide practical solutions to help you resolve it. By following these steps, you can ensure that your security camera functions optimally.
Here are some common reasons and solutions for security cameras not recording or detecting motions:
Incorrect Installation:
Ensure that the camera is not installed behind glass/windows, as it can interfere with motion detection capabilities.
Verify that the camera is correctly installed and positioned to have an unobstructed view of the monitored area.
Adjust the camera angle and placement if necessary to optimize motion detection. Please ensure it covers the desired area and try to avoid setting the range too high or too low to prevent false alarms or missed events.
App Settings:
Confirm that motion detection is enabled in the camera's settings. After Motion Detection is enabled, the camera will be triggered by any moving object and record a video.
Adjusting the Motion Detection Sensitivity level to an appropriate setting can help ensure that all relevant motions are detected and recorded.
Wake up from sleep mode. When the camera is in sleep mode, it will not record any motions or events until it is awakened.
Stop viewing in Live stream. When in live view, the camera will not detect motions (record videos and send notifications).
Camera-related factors
Verify if there is a protective film on the camera lens, as it may impair visibility. Peel it off if present.
Make sure the camera lens is clean and free from dust or dirt that may obstruct motion detection. Clean the lens using a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear visibility.
Ensure that the camera is connected to a stable network. Cameras that rely on network connectivity to transmit and store recordings may encounter issues if there are network disruptions or connectivity problems.
Reboot the camera and observe whether the PIR is triggered normally.
Environmental Factors:
Ensure that the camera is positioned to minimize glare and reflections. Glare from direct sunlight or artificial light sources, as well as reflections from nearby surfaces such as glass or metal, can interfere with the camera's field of view and obscure recorded footage.
Protect the camera with appropriate enclosures. Extreme weather may obstruct the camera's view, impair motion detection, or damage the equipment.
Test in a different environment: If possible, try testing the device in a different environment to determine if the issue is specific to the current location. This can help identify whether there are external factors affecting motion detection.
What should I do if my device is not still detecting any movements?
Confirm that the Installation、App Settings、Camera and Environmental Factors first.
If it still does not work, please conduct a motion test by waving your hands or walking in front of the camera to activate the Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor. Afterward, verify if the camera successfully records the detected movement and observe if the camera's indicator light illuminates in blue. This will help assess the camera's functionality and motion detection capabilities.
If the camera still doesn't work after following the provided troubleshooting steps, please contact technical support. Provide us with the details of the steps you've taken, including camera settings, installation information, and test results. This will help us understand the situation and provide the necessary assistance to resolve the issue.

Why are there so many videos with no movements or false notifications?

Every smart security camera user has experienced it - a flurry of notifications, only to find out that it was just a gust of wind shaking the trees or the shift in hot and cold air from the air conditioning. These false notifications can be overwhelming, causing annoyance and possibly leading to overlooking a real security concern.
Understanding the Trigger Mechanism
At the heart of the issue, we need to understand how motion detection works. The security camera has a Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor that constantly monitors the environment for any changes. These changes can be due to a moving object, light change, alternation of hot and cold air, and many other factors. When the sensor perceives such a change, motion detection is triggered, and a notification is sent. However, this method can cause common false triggers, such as the shaking of trees due to the wind or changes in temperature from the air conditioning.
Tackling False Notifications
If you're tired of these unwarranted disturbances, here are some tips to adjust the settings on your camera to help reduce the number of false notifications:
1. Re-adjust the Camera Position: If your camera is in a location where it's frequently triggered falsely - near an air conditioning vent or facing a tree, for instance - you may want to consider changing its position.
2. Change Motion Detection Sensitivity: You can tap the camera "setting" icon > tap Motion Detection > set the motion detection sensitivity to "Low" or "Medium". This shortens the distance the PIR sensor can detect, which may help reduce false triggers.
3. Activate 'Do not disturb': Tap the "bell" icon on the top of the app's homepage to enable "Do not disturb". This allows you to temporarily halt notifications for a set period of time - 30 minutes, 2 hours, or 12 hours - depending on your preference.
4. Use the 'Sleep Mode' Feature: This feature allows you to control when your camera is actively detecting motion. Tap the camera "setting" icon > tap Motion Detection > locate the sleep settings. You can either make the camera sleep immediately or schedule sleep periods in advance.
5. Opt for the Awareness Service: If you're still receiving too many false notifications, you might want to consider purchasing the Awareness service. This service enhances the smart notification feature of the camera, enabling you to receive alerts only for recognized persons, vehicles, pets, or packages. Additionally, it also allows you to set an activity zone, notifying you only when motions are detected within this specified area. This feature does not compromise the recording capabilities of the camera; it only filters unwanted notifications.
If you've tried these suggestions and are still facing issues, we're here to help. You can submit feedback from the app or reach out to us directly for further technical support at support@hixxhome.com. Our goal is to ensure your security camera experience is efficient and focused, letting you concentrate on the notifications that truly matter.
