Solid orange light on indoor camera

MartinG668 — Mon, 29 Jan 2024 18:07:17 GMT

A few weeks ago our Sky Protect indoor camera stopped responding. I've so far tried: updating the firmware, rebooting the camera, fully resetting the camera and, finally, uninstalling and reinstalling. Uninstalling was easy. Now, on plugging the camera in we have a solid amber light only, no amount of plugging/unplugging or resetting changes this, and I'm left with no means to reconnect whatsoever.

Any clues on how I can get the orange light to flash?

Would suggest removing the sensor bridge on the indoor camera, then removing the usb power from the indoor camera for at least ten minutes. At this point, also restart your broadband router.

Replace the power to the indoor camera and let it try to reconnect and/or follow the app setup help for reconnecting to your router.

You can then readd the sensor bridge and go round to each door/ motionsensor and leak sensor to wake them up with that sensor bridge.

Just wipe the bottom of the leak sensor to wake it up. Walk past the motion sensor and open and close the door sensors.

Followed the advice given, and it's still not working. Orange light stays solid, despite pressing and holding the reset/connect button as directed in the setup instructions, and there is no audible message as indicated, and no change in the light's status.
