  If your StreetWise Security Camera has stopped recording, it might be due to the date not being set correctly, especially after a power outage. The date needs to be set for the NightWatcher to record correctly. Check the LED beside the camera lens; it should be GREEN when recording. If it's RED, press the reset button on top of the unit. If it remains RED, ensure the micro card is correctly installed.

  A flashing or solid red LED indicator on your StreetWise Security Camera could indicate several issues. This may occur when a power failure happens during recording, or it could be due to memory card damage. If the memory card can’t be formatted or can’t be read, it’s damaged and you will need to purchase a new one.
