You should select "smart mode" first. You may do that by turning the knob on top of the camera to the black rectangle with a white "s" in the middle. You should then see a menu on the screen for various lighting situations. Select "Low Light Shot" from the menu, and remember to hold the camera steady during the shot. In this mode, you'll hear four clicks in rapid succession, and then the camera will process the shot. I hope this has helped.

The firmware needs to be updated to v1.02, then the Camera must be reset by:1. Remove your batteries and close the BATTERY door. 2. Hold down the ON/OFF switch for 1 minute. This drains the camera of all of its energy, causing the camera to reset itself. 3. Replace the batteries (fully charged) and power on.This resolves the battery issue, but remember the camera will stop recording 1080p 60fps after the 4Gb recording limit is reached, so you have to hit the record button again to continue if using that video mode. The other HD modes records for 30mins., and SD mode (640 x 480) 1 hour. The firmware needs to be updated to v1.02, then the Camera must be reset by:1.

The only surprise here is that the camera ever worked at all. Mine was D.O.A. out of the package. You might try leaving the batteries out for ten minutes, and then try again. If there is a default / reset button, try that too.

May be out of focus. The camera has auto focus but you have to let the pic come into focus prior to hitting the button. Some times more light is needed.

Double check to make sure it's not on "no flash" (lightning bolt with circle and slash through it) which youcan change by pressing the circle with the ok in the middle. If that doesn't work, turn the camera off, take the battery out,and then put back in and turn on. also make sure your camera is well charged. Otherwise, get service.

Take the battery out, hold the reset button for 15 seconds, put battery back in. This solved this same problem for me.

Sorry no. Make sure you are inputting the proper login and password. If nothing works you might try to reset the camera "Server" to default and begin your setup again

I have the same problem. Camera arrived yesterday. Will not power up. About to return.

There should be a manual factory reset button somewhere on the bottom or back of the camera. Most devices have them. Will be a little hole. Use a paper clip and push it in for 30 seconds or so.

first things first, be sure that it's in auto mode. There's also a manual focus mode. To check all your settings, simply swipe the shutter button up, you'll see the manual setting sliders. Check if the focus slider rests in auto mode. If it is not, slide all the way to your left, and leave it there. If this is not the case, check for the updates. First you gotta be sure that you're running the latest version of both the OS and the camera app. If no updates available, try to uninstall and install the camera app again. If nothing works, could be a hw problem. Let me know how it goes. Cheers.

try hitting the reset button you will need a paper clip to press it in. Don't press to hard that most likely will fix this issue

There is a reset button on the bottom of the cover. You can use a paperclip to reset.

Obviously, check all connections. Also, the power might have been cut so you would have to reenter pswd. If you look at face of camera at night you can see if it glows red. If it doesn't the camera(s) not working. Other than that, I would need more info....
