Possible cause 1: Camera is not online or not set up properly.

Solution:  Check that the camera is online. Make sure it is set up properly following the instructions on the Solarcam user manual.

 

Possible cause 2: Notification settings in camera are not set up properly.

Solution: Check that the following areas are set correctly:

 

 

1) "Settings"

Dashboard (Homescreen) > Tap on the 3 horizontal lines (top left corner) > Settings

 

Ensure notifications are enabled.

 

 

2) "Protection"

Tap on camera > Tap on Protection icon (first icon at the bottom of app screen) - check the settings for warning time etc.
