Hi there, I was recently gifted a camera that used to belong to a friend for my own use and have been having some issues with it.
When I first got it I set it up, plugged all the cables including the mini USB to HDMI cable I was given with it into my computer/the wall outlet, and turned it on. Everything went fine, but I noticed a few things. One was that it was running what I presume was a by then outdated version of the software, I don’t remember exactly what but I believe it was something in the 0.8 range. The second thing was it only had the bird identifier app installed, and the other things like radar were not there.
I turned the device off and took it home, where I just now have tried to set it up again at my desk to test out further, I turned it on, plugged all the cables in again and it initially worked fine again, but when I tried to get it to check for updates I realized it didn’t have internet, so I attempted to connect it to my home internet and it seemed to get stuck attempting to connect, so I closed the window and turned off the device again and when I tried to turn it back on stuff was being weird.
For starters, when I try to tap the top button to turn it on nothing happens, I have to hold it down for a very brief time to get it to do anything. When that happens it beeps, flashes bright white before dimming, then stays that way for a while before cycling through the colors and eventually settling on a much deeper shade of blue than is shown in the documentation with another beep. I should note I also stopped plugging all the cables in first as I saw that wasn’t proper, so I start this with only the power cable plugged in.
Now that it’s on, it doesn’t show up in my Wi-Fi networks list, and when I tried to use the terminal on my Windows 11 machine to connect manually it didn’t work either, so it appears the Wi-Fi isn’t turning on?
After attempting to boot to safe mode it now has the lighter blue light that is in the video the Wi-Fi network now shows up but when I go to vizy.local it says unable to connect and the vizy-xxxx network says no internet too even with an Ethernet cable plugged directly from my computer to the device as it was before.
Is there something I can do to maybe factory reset it? I just want it to work so I can get back on track with a project idea I had for it.
Thanks
