Applies to: Reolink WiFi battery-powered cameras

When Reolink App/Reolink Client and the camera are connected to the same Wi-Fi (LAN), you can get access to the camera, but fail to get access to the camera when your phone uses 4G network or other WiFi or the PC is on another network. Here are some solutions for your references. 

Cause 1: The Camera is Not Powered On Properly.

Solution 1: Please use a DC 5V/2A power adapter to charge it to check whether the camera can be powered on properly. 

How to tell if the camera is powered on? Turn off the lights in the rooms or place the camera under a dark environment, if the infrared lights of the camera turn on, then the camera is powered on properly.

If you are using the correct power adapter and it can work with another device, but the camera still can't be powered on properly, please contact Reolink Support(support@reolink.com). 

Cause 2: The Camera is Not Connected to the Internet.

Solution 2: Confirm the colour of the status LED on the camera. If it is red, please reset the camera and set it up again.

Cause 3: The 4G Network Issue.

Solution 3: If you can only watch the live view of the cameras in LAN, which means phone/PC and the camera are connected to the same network, but failed to view the camera via 4G network sometimes or all the time. Please refer to the following articles to troubleshoot the issue:
