Diagnostic Tips
1. Intercom is showing online status, but the video feed shows “fetching”.
A. This can be caused by poor power cable extended to the intercom or weak 4G.
2. Intercom is not showing online status.
A. This can be caused by weak 4G, dropping in and out due to weak signal.
3. I can see video but there is no audio on the phone or there is no audio at the intercom.
A: This can be caused by the audio settings being too low on the phone, or permissions for the
app were not accepted during app install. Check microphone permissions for the app in the phone
settings.
4. The status is showing online, then connecting, then online again.
A: This is normal when a phone roams between two wifi connections, or between wifi and data.
Make sure the phone is stationary and either has good wifi or a stable data connection
Press the call button.
Press the Video icon to
view live video.
Note: at close proximity,
you will experience acoustic
feedback. This is normal.
If you can see live video
and hear audio, the
intercom has successfully
connected to the network.
Intercom
