There can be many different reasons for camera sending problems, but they can usually be fixed with basic troubleshooting.
Before contacting support or sending the camera in for service, please follow the basic troubleshooting steps below.
1. Check that the SIM card is working and that the camera is connected to the network.
The name of the operator, network technology and signal strength should appear on the screen. When setting up a new camera, it may take several minutes to establish a connection. If the camera do not connect to network, please try another SIM card.
