3. Confirm the camera feature and motion detection feature have been enabled.

--- Toggle the Camera On bar to enable the camera feature in Camera Settings.

--- Toggle the Motion Detection bar to enable the motion detection feature in Camera Settings.

4. Check if the security mode settings of that specific camera have been properly configured.

--- Tap the Security button at the lower right corner of the main page and find your camera’s security mode settings. Set your camera to the Home mode and enable Record Video and Push Notification under the Home mode. Tap Save to save settings.
