Reasons why a WiFi camera might not recognize a QR code on a phone during setup

There are several reasons why a WiFi camera might not recognize a QR code on a phone during setup:

1. Poor Lighting: The environment might be too dark or too bright, causing the QR code to be difficult to read.

2. Camera Focus: The camera may not be focusing correctly on the QR code, leading to a blurry image.

3. Screen Brightness: The brightness of the phone screen might be too low or too high, making the QR code hard to scan.

4. Screen Glare: Reflections or glare on the phone screen can interfere with the camera’s ability to read the QR code.

5. Distance and Angle: The distance between the camera and the phone may not be optimal, or the angle at which the phone is held may be incorrect.

6. QR Code Quality: The QR code may be too small, distorted, or not displayed clearly on the phone screen.

7. Dirty Lens: The camera lens might be dirty, obstructing a clear view of the QR code.

8. WiFi Interference: There might be interference or issues with the WiFi connection, causing the camera to fail to connect properly.

To address these issues, you can try the following:

• Ensure the environment has adequate and even lighting.
• Clean the camera lens.
• Adjust the phone's screen brightness.
• Hold the phone steady and at an optimal distance from the camera.
• Ensure the QR code is displayed clearly and fully on the phone screen.
• Restart both the phone, camera and Wi-Fi network.
• Try using a different phone to display the QR code.
