Mostly the cause is a lack of synchronisation of the time. Make sure that the camera / recorder uses the same time and time zone as your smartphone.
  • The app streams the data from the recorder for display. If only recordings in high resolutions with high data rates are stored on the recorder, it takes a correspondingly long time until the data can be displayed. Example: Video in HD 1080p from a streaming service also requires a correspondingly good connection.
  • If it takes too long to load the data, e.g. because the connection quality is too low, the app aborts the process with a timeout.
  • Solution: Make sure that your mobile device provides a good internet connection with sufficient data rate. Furthermore, a suitable upload of the data from the recorder must also be possible. Example: If you want to retrieve the data with 8Mbit/s, your internet connection must also allow a corresponding upload. Please note: In most cases, the upload rates are significantly lower than the download rates advertised by the providers.

IMPORTANT: A password reset is only possible if the smartphone has an internet connection.
