FAQ:
- What can I do if my camera is stuck saying the following? "Battery ___%, Battery Condition is ____" and keeps repeating?
- The camera is still able to connect to your local WiFi. Either make sure both the hub AND the WiFi router/access point/mesh are unplugged before continuing, or you can take the camera outside of range of your WiFi access point.
- I did the reset, why is my camera still saying "Hub not found"?
- Holding the camera power button for 15-20 seconds needs to be done within 50 seconds of the camera saying "hub not found" or the factory reset will not work.

To reset it again: wait for the camera to say "ready to pair, press the button to continue" then press the camera power button > the camera will say pairing and after some time the camera will say "hub not found." > Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds and the camera will reset.
