Your camera is often “unavailable” when you try to access the video stream. No image is displayed or you receive notifications informing you that its “connection is no longer working correctly”.
Your camera can frequently lose connection in the following situations:
First and foremost, check the current status of the camera by verifying the color of the LED light on the front of the camera. A flashing blue, steady red or steady green LED light means that the camera has to be reinstalled.
In order to be able to view the images from the Security Cameras under good conditions, you need to be sure that your phone has high-speed Internet access: 3G, 4G or WiFi. No matter which of these you have, you must have good-quality reception and speed.
If you are unsure, try watching a YouTube video.
During Internet outages, if someone is on site or if you have another component that is remotely accessible, be sure that your Internet service is actually available.
Also consider rebooting your residential gateway box; this might improve the quality of your Internet connection at your house.
In your Somfy Protect application, go to the “Settings” menu, then “My Components,” then “My Camera.”
If, under “WiFi quality,” you see 1 bar out of 4, this means that the WiFi connection isn’t strong enough to ensure a good-quality connection
It would be a good idea to move the camera to find the ideal location—one that is closer or one with fewer obstacles with the residential gateway box (or the WiFi router), in order to improve WiFi quality.
N.B.:
Tips:
The camera needs a stable WiFi connection allowing it to stream video constantly at 0.19 Mbps for SD and 0.53 Mbps for HD:
- 720p quality (HD)
- 480p quality (SD)
In order to check the upstream bandwidth available through your Internet service, you can use a free software program or a speed test application:
It would be a good idea to test the speed at the location where your camera is positioned.
The upstream bandwidth (also known as the upload speed), on the right side of the above illustration is 2.01 Mbps. At your home, if it is below 0.50 Mbps, it would be necessary to set your camera to SD. In fact, in this case, it is probable that it frequently goes below the threshold needed to stream HD video.
Also verify that other components connected to the Internet in your home is not tying up all the bandwidth: a computer that’s downloading, other IP cameras, a connected TV, etc. To be sure, disconnect these while you are performing your tests.
If there are many WiFi networks around your home, it is possible that the channel used by your residential gateway box is congested.
If the operations above have not allowed you to find a suitable location for your camera and the HD/SD setting corresponds to the available bandwidth, it may be necessary to change the WiFi channel in the settings of your residential gateway box (or WiFi router). We advise you to first set your WFi channel to “Auto” if this is not already its setting.
If this does not solve the problem, it is recommended that you verify the WiFi environment. You can use a free software program or channel testing application:
These applications will display a graph showing the level of congestion of the different WiFi channels. If your WiFi network is on a channel used by several other networks, it would be necessary to move it to a less cluttered channel by going to the settings of your residential gateway box (or WiFi router).
In the example above, the most congested channels are channels 1, 6 and 11. It would be advantageous to move the WiFi channel of the residential gateway box or router to channels 3, 4, 8 or 9, which are the least cluttered channels.
To secure your home and deter burglars, equip it with an effective network of high-performance cameras. Before you do anything, here are some good questions to ask:
