After multiple resets this camera (HD 720P pan/tilt wifi) it will only pan. When I send a tilt signal via the software I hear it motoring but no tilt up or down occurs. Is this simply a defective camera? Any suggestions?

Hello rlstone ,

Please try hard resetting the camera. For this, you need to press and hold the indicator light on the back of the camera for 10 - 15 seconds. The light will turn red and the camera will do its initial pan/tilt after this. You need to set up the camera once again after this as it will reset all the settings

If this does not fix the issue, please contact us for warranty replacement.

hi what happened did the hard reset work?

Having the same problem - I moved the camera and after connecting it again - everything works except it only tilts about 10% of what it did previously - it pans all the way around - just no tilt - other than a very small amount - I reset it once - it got itself a new IP and the password went back to admin - I configured it again - same thing - any ideas?

Hello mcarter1242 ,

If a reset has not fixed the issue, it could be a hardware defect. So I would suggest for warranty replacement.
