If you are unable to power on your Live Stream camera, it could be in safety mode. Often, the internal lithium-ion battery will go into safety mode when either the internal AA batteries have died or the external 12V battery has died, or a combination of both. Rebooting a live streaming camera that has gone dead is as simple as applying 12 AA batteries in the battery tray and turn the camera on. Make sure you allow the internal lithium battery time to charge to full power, generally 24 hours, before removing the AA batteries.
Lithium-Ion batteries have a built-in battery management system (BMS) that will go into a safety mode if one of the following occurs.
- High Voltage or OVP – Over Voltage Protection, this generally happens when someone applies too much power to recharge the battery or in an unapproved or inappropriate recharger.
- Over Current and Short Circuits, could happen if there is damage to wiring or some type of electrical issue.
- High Temperature, if the internal battery temperature gets too hot, an offset to the high voltage protection.
- Low Voltage or UVP – Under Voltage Protection, occurs if the batteries die and are unable to recharge the internal lithium-ion battery.
Consider using our Solar Power Supply to keep your cameras running year round and prevent rebooting your Live Stream camera.
