There are two working modes of Reolink Battery-powered cameras:

• Standby Mode: The camera is in power-saving mode; there is no live view or motions detected.
• Working Mode: The camera is running at full capacity. It enters the working status when someone is accessing the camera via Reolink software or the PIR motion sensor detects a movement.

The status LED of the battery-powered WiFi cameras has two colors: Blue and Red. Blue means the WiFi connection of the camera is successful, while red means the WiFi connection failed.
