  If your Lumens Security Camera cannot be operated by remote control, first ensure that the Camera Select on the remote is compatible with the IR Select on the VC-A50S. Also, prevent the VC-A50S from being in direct sunlight. Keep energy-saving bulbs and IR touch screens as far away as possible to avoid interference. If multiple VC-A50S units are in the same area, operating two remote controls simultaneously may cause signal interference; using only one remote control is recommended.
