What to do if the app cannot locate the ALC Accessories doorbell?
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.
Why does no image appear from my ALC AWF71D Accessories doorbell?
If no image appears from your ALC Accessories doorbell, ensure the camera is receiving power and that the fuse in the breaker box is not broken or deactivated. Also, try relocating the doorbell for better wireless signal reception and ensure it's properly configured in the app. Finally, verify that your mobile device has a stable 3G/4G/Wi-Fi connection.
How to fix 'cannot connect to my ALC Accessories Doorbell after setting it up'?
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.
What to do if the ALC Accessories App cannot record any video clips?
If the ALC Accessories app isn't recording video clips, check that the camera is powered on and the MicroSD card is correctly inserted. Ensure that the motion detection function is enabled. Format the MicroSD card, especially if it's the first time you're using it.
Why my ALC AWF71D doorbell stopped working or is not getting any power?
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.
Why is the motion sensor not responding to movement on my ALC Accessories?
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?
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.
How to improve poor picture quality on ALC AWF71D?
If the picture quality of your ALC Accessories doorbell is poor, try cleaning the camera lens with a microfiber cloth. You can also select a different video quality setting.
Why is my ALC Accessories doorbell not sounding?
If the ALC Accessories doorbell isn't sounding, ensure the correct doorbell type (Digital or Traditional) is selected in the settings. Also, make sure you've added the Digital Adapter to the digital chime, if applicable.
How to correct wrong data and time shown on ALC AWF71D?
If your ALC Accessories shows the wrong date and time, it can cause unexpected recording schedules. Make sure you've selected the correct time zone and confirm the system date/time of your mobile device to ensure correct operation. The clock will set itself when connected to the internet, so ensure the system is properly connected. You can also use your mobile device to access the system and check if remote viewing is working correctly.
