Stickup battery cam without live view, detection or notifications after low battery and recharge
battery-security-cameras

Hi, So, one of the stickup cams on battery isn't functioning after this weeks low battery notification. I removed the battery, charged it until the led was green again and re-inserted the battery. After this, the blue light comes on for ~5 seconds, and then turns off. The cam is listed, but non of the functions, like live-view, actually work. (a message appears that the battery is crit. low) Within the app, the health status reports all OK, except it doesn't show a battery percentage. It's either NaN or battery level unknown. Things I have tried so far: - Swapped the battery with another camera. This device works then perfectly. This rules out the battery. - Reinstalled the app, same results as before. - Removed the devices, reinstalled the app, add the device, same results as before. - Remove the devices and added the device without reinstalling the app in between, , same results as before. - Re-charged the battery once again, same results as before. ![IMG_1592|231x500](upload://3Q5lOcUW3jcKxhBLBNX2GHhbLFt.png) ![IMG_1614.PNG|231x500](upload://kiy8qdLvpk79bOpuyWMvLzDmfmb.jpeg) I am running out of options here. Perhaps someone here was a nice idea on how to activate the camera again.

    Have you tried a factory reset on the cam?

      I didn't do that yet :slight_smile: Just tried: the hard-reset (20 second orange button) doesn't trigger. Even with pressing for a longer period. The light doesn't flash afterwards. Pressing the orange button afterward ones triggers the setup-mode. After finishing the setup with success, I have the same results :frowning:
