      If the app on your mobile device is unable to find the ALC doorbell, ensure the camera is receiving power, that your network supports DHCP protocol, and that both the doorbell and your mobile device are connected to the same network or router. You can also manually add the camera using the 'Add Device' feature, and confirm that the home network is selected.

      If you cannot connect to your ALC Accessories doorbell after setting it up, it could be due to several reasons. If the LED light is flashing, the camera is not connected to your Wi-Fi. Double-check that you've entered your Wi-Fi password correctly. If needed, reset your camera and start the setup process again. Ensure you're using a standard 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, as 5GHz Wi-Fi is not supported.

    Why my ALC AWF71D doorbell stopped working or is not getting any power?
    • J
      jessica42Aug 28, 2025
      If your ALC Accessories doorbell has stopped working or isn't getting any power, check the voltage at the transformer, which should be between 10-24 Vac. A standard 16V transformer typically reads around 19-20 Vac. Also, check the voltage at the doorbell itself, which is usually about 2V less than at the transformer. If there's no voltage reading at the doorbell, there may be a disconnect or short in the wiring, which an electrician will need to diagnose.

    • J
      johnsonashleyAug 30, 2025
      If the ALC Accessories motion sensor isn't responding to movement, make sure a MicroSD card is inserted into the camera. There might be no movement detected. Sensitivity option might be not activated.

    Why does a white image appear at night on my ALC Accessories?
    • S
      Sharon VazquezSep 2, 2025
      If a white image appears at night on your ALC Accessories camera, it's because the camera’s infrared LEDs are reflecting off surfaces like glass. To fix this, place the camera on the other side of the window or in a well-lit area. Installing a security lamp can also improve lighting.

      Justin RandolphSep 4, 2025
