Delayed Live Streaming for the Wireless Outdoor Security Camera
Updated
Live stream delays can occur for a variety of reasons, most commonly stemming due to the camera’s “deep sleep” state it enters when not in use. When a live stream is initiated, the camera must first wake up and then connect to Wi-Fi to start the stream. This process can take up to 10 seconds.
If you are concerned about this delay or are experiencing a delay longer than 10 to 15 seconds, you can try the below steps to troubleshoot your camera’s Wi-Fi and system connectivity
Move the Base Station closer to the camera
Ensure your Base Station is connected to Wi-Fi
Plug your camera into a continuous power source using the Outdoor Camera Power Cable. Doing this will enable performance mode, allowing your camera to remain awake and responsive
Bring the camera and your internet router close together
If the Camera works in this position, there may have been too great a distance between the devices and you will need to install the camera closer to your internet router
You can also purchase a Wi-Fi extender to extend the range of your Wi-Fi
If the camera still does not connect when it is right next to your router, you may be experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues; in this case, you can try to troubleshoot your Wi-Fi connection.
