FAQs

WHY CAN I NOT VIEW THE LIVE-STREAM VIDEO?

• Verify the lens cap has been removed from the camera.

• Verify that the Notifi System is ONLINE. If it is online, the System name and circle will be blue. If it is offline, the name and circle will be gray.

• Check the Wi-Fi signal strength at your Notifi bulb’s position by using your mobile device. You might even try running a speed test (i.e. Speedtest.net) on your home network with your mobile device while standing at the bulb’s location. The bulb will need a minimum of 3 MB/s download and 1 MB/s upload speeds to function properly.

• You can view your camera’s feed over both Wi-Fi as well as your phone’s data (3g/ 4g). If your network is running slowly or congested it will affect the performance of the app and may make it so you are unable to view your camera’s feed. Please try to view your camera’s feed over a different network or disconnect other devices from your current network if that isn’t an option to help free up bandwidth.

• Try moving your home Wi-Fi router closer to your Notifi bulb to see if the distance from your router is causing the bulb to disconnect from your home network. Even if your Notifi bulb is located relatively close to your home Wi-Fi router, keep in mind that different materials (metal, concrete, plaster, stucco, etc.) in your home can weaken your Wi-Fi signal. Minimizing the number of walls and ceilings between your home Wi-Fi router and the bulb can help.

• Check the version of the firmware (the software inside of the Notifi bulb) through the app at the top of the camera settings screen. Updates to the firmware often include improvements which help the Notifi systems function and perform better.

If you are still unable to view the live-stream video feed, please force quit the app and then sign back in. For instructions on how to force quit an app, refer to your operating system’s instructions.

WHY WON’T THE NOTIFI SYSTEM CONNECT TO MY WIRELESS NETWORK (HOME ROUTER)?

To resolve issues with the Notifi Video Doorbell System not connecting to the home router:

• Using your mobile device, test the Wi-Fi signal at the location of the Notifi Bulb and Camera (entryway). If the Wi-Fi signal at the entryway is low, move the router closer to the entryway or get a Wi-Fi extender.

• Verify you are connecting to the correct wireless network and inputting the correct network password. If you are unsure of your network password, contact the router manufacturer.

• Verify if there is a firewall device installed (e.g. SonicWall, Zywall). If there is a firewall, the UDP timeout (UDP port 80) must be set to 180 seconds or greater for both inbound and outbound. If you are unsure how to set these, contact the firewall manufacturer.

• If any changes have been made to the wireless network name, password or security, you must setup the Notifi System again.

WHY AM I NOT RECEIVING NOTIFICATIONS?

• Ensure that your Notifi System is online.

• Ensure that the notifications settings in the Notifi App are turned on. Within the Notifi app, follow:

> Feature Settings > Notifications

Back

WHY DO I GET LOGGED OUT SUDDENLY WHILE STREAMING VIDEO?

This would happen if two people are trying to use the same username/password at the same time on two different devices.

Events

When the second user logs in, the first user will be kicked off. To avoid this, instead of two people sharing the same username and password (like a husband/wife, for example) have the second person create their own account and invite them as a friend so that you can view the camera at the same time.

View Live Feed

WHY DOES MY CHIME NOT RING WHEN I PRESS THE PUSH BUTTON?

Even if the push button is located relatively close to the chime, keep in mind that different materials (i.e. metal, concrete, plaster, stucco, etc.) in your home can weaken the signal from the push button. Minimizing the number of walls and ceilings between the push button and chime can help.
