If your VicoHome camera is connected to a power source, either by wall charger or solar panel, you can easily confirm whether it is charging by checking the app or the camera’s indicator light.
Check in the VicoHome App
- Open the VicoHome app.
- Tap the Settings icon for your camera.
- Look at the battery icon near the top of the "Camera Setting" page:
- Green battery icon: Your camera is currently charging.
- Black battery icon: The camera is not charging.
- Red battery icon: The battery is low and needs to be charged soon.
Tip: The battery status updates in real time. You do not need to reopen the app. If the status does not change immediately, try refreshing the page, such as the Home screen or the Device Settings page, to get the latest charging information.
Check the Camera’s Indicator Light
Your camera’s built-in indicator light also shows the charging status:
- Amber, orange, or yellow light solid: Charging in progress.
- Green light solid: Fully charged.
- No light: The device may be powered off or not connected to power.
If the indicator does not light up, make sure your cable and adapter are properly connected and working.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What if I do not see the charging icon in the app?
A: Make sure your camera is powered on and connected to the internet. If the battery is completely drained, wait a few minutes after plugging it in before the app updates the charging status.
Q: Do plug-in cameras show charging icons?
A: Plug-in models such as indoor and light bulb cameras do not display charging icons because they run on continuous power and do not require battery charging.
