Trouble shooting

  1. If you couldn't play the camera by the YouIPCams mobile app after the camera is added, please test the camera video URL in VLC video player to see if it is working
  2. If the YouIPCams cannot find your ONVIF camera, please download the free software ONVIF Device Manager to check if your camera supports ONVIF.
  3. You could update the camera video URL in the camera settings when/after the camera was added, that will allow you to change the video stream or correct the video URL information.
  4. If you could play the camera in your local network, but you could not play it remotely, please check your router's port forwarding settings.
