If your cameras are currently offline and you're trying to bring them back online, here are a few steps you can follow:

1.Make sure the cameras are powered on and properly connected to their power source. Ensure that all cables and connectors are securely attached.

2.Ensure that your wireless network is working properly. Check other devices connected to the same Wi-Fi and see if they can use the Internet.

3.If the Internet works well and the camera still shows offline, please restart your router, wait for 2-3 mins and see if the camera will be online automatically. Sometimes when the router is overloaded, the camera will be offline.

4.Check if the cameras are within range of the Wi-Fi router. Weak or intermittent Wi-Fi signals can cause cameras to go offline, we recommend that devices keep their signal above 90. If possible, move the cameras closer to the router or consider using Wi-Fi range extenders to improve the signal strength.

5.Check if there are any firmware updates available for your cameras. If you do not know if the firmware is the newest version, you could contact us for assistance.

6.If none of the above step work, you can try resetting the camera to its default settings. Please move the camera next to the router, restart the router, and hold the reset button of the camera for about 5 seconds until you hear a prompt sound, then set it up all over again to see if the camera will be online.

Check if there is firmware update available for the camera or the new version for the app. The new firmware/app will help solve this issue. If you are uncertain about it, please contact LaView Support Team for more information.
