## TROUBLESHOOTING&#x20;

### **If you're connecting your camera via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi but it doesn't proceed to the next step**

{% hint style="info" %}
**Don't worry. This can happen if your mobile device temporarily loses its internet connection while switching networks and doesn’t reconnect properly.**

To continue:

* Check if the camera's <mark style="color:green;">**GREEN LED**</mark> is **solid ON** (not blinking).
* If it is, go back to the previous step and **select Skip (My camera is already connected to the internet)** — the setup should then work correctly.

### **I cannot complete the setup via WIFI**

1\.   Check that you have the latest firmware in the VESTA control unit.

2\.   Make sure to enable the location for the SmartHomeSec APP.

3\.   Make sure you give the APP permissions to connect to a WIFI network, and if it asks for connection permissions, allow them.
