What to do if VADDIO RoboSHOT 20 UHD is not working?
- M
  Molly LesterAug 16, 2025
  If your VADDIO Security Camera shows no status light, video, or response to the remote, start by checking all cables with known good ones. If using a OneLINK extension, ensure it's properly connected to the camera. If problems persist with OneLINK, bypass it by connecting the camera directly to the included 12V power pack to isolate the issue. If the camera then works, the OneLINK is faulty and you should contact your reseller or Vaddio Technical Support. Also, verify that the wall outlet is active by testing it with another device.

  If the light on the front of your VADDIO Security Camera is off, here are a few things to check: * Ensure all cables are working correctly by testing them with known good cables. * If using a OneLINK extension system, make sure it's properly connected to the camera. If the OneLINK system isn't working, disconnect it and connect the camera directly to the 12V power pack.
