Troubleshooting steps when your 4G camera won't charge
Question
Why is my 4G camera unable to charge?
Answer
If the camera stays connected to power but the red indicator light remains on without work light response, please verify the following:
1. Check Power Supply
- Power Adapter: Verify the adapter is working properly and provides 5V1A or 5V2A output
- Power Cord: Inspect the charging cable for damage or wear
- Power Outlet: Test the outlet with another device to confirm it's working
- Try Different Adapter: Use another compatible power adapter to rule out adapter failure
2. Inspect Charging Port
- Clean the Port: Remove any dust or debris from the camera's charging interface
- Check for Damage: Look for bent pins or physical damage to the charging port
- Connection: Ensure the charging cable is fully inserted and makes proper contact
3. Contact Support
If issues persist after checking items 1-2, please contact the manufacturer's after-sales customer service for assistance.
Prevention Tips
- Keep the charging port clean and dry
- Use only compatible power adapters (5V1A or 5V2A)
