Any one having issue with the camera went off line by it self without any apparent reason? Yup mine too went offline a few time even thought Wi-Fi were on all the times. Got to turn off power after restart back to normal.

Reset camera, add again, and take micor sd and hear beep. Then everything works ok, i can see videos in back function. I know the camera well, I've been testing 2 months.

I added a second camera, updated to latest firmware, still same problem. Never had this off line issue on old firmware for the past 8 months.

QUOTE(nikobellic @ Mar 4 2018, 08:01 PM) Not the look back function. I took the storage card out from the cam and view the playbacks on my PC. I see. I've never access the sdcard manually. But my look back function goes back to almost 2 weeks on a 32GB card. QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Mar 4 2018, 08:15 PM) Any one having issue with the camera went off line by it self without any apparent reason? Been using the cam for 2 months and it is on the latest firmware, don't have this issue so far.

mine on latest firmware as well. my camera now not for 24hr usage. but it doesnt have the sudden offline thingy.
maybe need to reset it and re adding it to your network again? or ur router is handling too much devices/range issue? sorry just guessing here.

Some help, please? My Dafang has been working very well. I don't use motion detection but what I want to do is set it to record when Xiaomi gateway alarm is triggered. Most of the settings of the camera are in English but the Automation settings are in Chinese which I can't read - see attached. Would anybody be able to translate? Attached thumbnail(s)

Hi, How can i configure or add the cctv into 2 or more different devices? Or max how many devices can monitor the same cctv?
I have tried for the first one, then follow by same step to the second one. But once the second one done configured, the first one just gone/cctv not found already.
SIFUs can advice here?
Thank you

QUOTE(hamster9 @ Mar 10 2018, 03:21 PM) this is plenty strange. i havent encounter this before. mostly when i have really teething problems that i will need to uninstall the mihome app then key in again all the login details. you'd probably be better posting it in the official channel for assistance. apologies i can't help any further. Cheers.

Hi there all,
just curious, when you do a preview on the phone does record function works? For example, if you are viewing from the phone via the app and there are motions detected (eg cat or etc) does the camera starts recording? or when in preview mode, the recording will not work unless the preview mode has been exited?
