If I upgrade plans to one that backs up data for a longer period, will have access to my videos back that far. Example, if I have the 7 day plan, and want to upgrade to the 30-day plan. Will I have access to the videos from 30 days ago once the plan is active?

You can try restarting the camera.
If it still does not work, format the memory card on the computer, and then insert the camera (insert the memory card again when the camera is turned off)

Hello , today connecting I updated the firmware on 2 of the 3 Icsee cameras I have .
Since then I could not anymore open the video ( timeout after several seconds on 99% )
I do have the latest version of apk ( iPhone ) on last iOS .
Strangely the version of the firmware of the two I updated ( and that do not work ) is the same of the one that luckily I did not updated ( v5.00.R02.0003067b.10010.344417.0000000 )
I tried as well to reset the camera ( restore factory settings ) and reinstalled as new camera … without success .
I have Icsee V 1.3.61 build 8.0

Hi I use wifi camera model SmartVision with PTZ, but ICSee software has some various bugs, I am disappointed:

1. Sound button doesn’t switch camera sound every time so I can not hear what is happening at the camera point.

2. Sandisc Micro SD card is not reading by camera, which Micro SD card should be used ? I paid pretty round amount for this SD card.

3. I am not able to view multiple cameras in one window like split screens into 4 cameras.

I would be grateful if this bugs fixed.

Добрый день!
У меня полностью слетела программа с камеры, подскажите пожалуйста, что делать в таком случае?
При включении ничего не говорит, и ничего не происходит с камерой.
Похоже во время обновления версии программы камеры выключилась электроэнергия.

Sergey
November 20, 2021 at 3:04 pm

Good afternoon!
I completely lost the program from the camera, please tell me what to do in this case?
When turned on, it says nothing, and nothing happens to the camera.
It looks like during the update of the camera program version, the electricity turned off.

Hello
I have 2 cameras (BESDER model 6024PW-XMA201 and SMAR model Q-NX2002-W-36). In none of the 2 cameras, I can set the fixed IP with Wi-Fi. The DHCP is unchecked. When I turn off the cameras and turn them on, the IP has changed. On the other hand, it works correctly via cable. Any solution?
And also, the BESDER camera, gives error when connecting to the NVR ONVIF (with onvif checked and port 8899). The SMAR does not give any connection problem.
Inside the ICSee app, I have not seen any place where I can fix it.

Regards
