Why Is My ADT Camera Offline?
Here are the main reasons for your ADT pulse camera offline:
1. Weak or lost Wi-Fi signal
A weak or lost Wi-Fi signal is the most typical cause that can interrupt the normal functioning of your ADT camera. As you know, ADT pulse cameras depend upon Wi-Fi signals to connect to the gateway. Therefore, if this connection gets lost, your camera will simply get offline and stop working.
Moreover, these signals may get lost due to disturbances at your or the controller’s end. So, it’s pretty necessary to check and resolve it wherever necessary.
Also, changing the position of your camera or gateway can cause such a condition. Placing them in the correct position with full power and support can help you prevent this mishap from happening.
If a weak or lost Wi-Fi signal is causing your ADT camera to stop working, then follow the steps below:
- Firstly, ensure that your ADT gateway is on and working correctly.
- The next step is to check that the LEDs of your gateways have normal functioning as well.
- Further, check whether your camera LEDs are on or not. If not, then switch them on.
- Now, try switching off and turning on your gateway and the Wi-Fi. This will refresh both the systems and enable them to work efficiently.
- Lastly, verify that your camera is online in the App (android/apple) on your phone.
