Wi-Fi Connectivity
Please click on the Wi-Fi icon on the top left of the live camera view to see signal strength. Please note that Wi-Fi signal strength is measured in negative dBm values and if your strength is less than -60 dBm, you will need to adjust the router position or get a Wi-Fi extender or Mesh Wi-Fi system to boost signal. While Smart Cameras need less than 5 Mb upload & download speeds, walls — especially exterior home walls — reduce Wi-Fi signal strength. Cameras with weak signal may face intermittent connectivity issues.
If you observe low Wi-Fi signal strength, you can opt for an affordable 2.4 GHz Router & Repeater to boost the signal strength of the camera primarily, or choose a dual band Mesh Wi-Fi system that you can also use for day-to-day browsing, streaming videos, and work. During setup of a Wi-Fi extender or Mesh Wi-Fi, you will have an option to keep the same name & password as your home network or create a new one. Once setup is complete, please update the Wi-Fi network of your camera if you have chosen a different network name and re-check the Wi-Fi signal strength of your camera again after 15 minutes. If the setup is working, you will see an increase in the dBm value.
Please note while the 5 GHz band has high speed, it has a short range and is not ideal for connected devices. All Qubo connected devices support 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for long range connectivity. Always connect Qubo cameras to the 2.4 GHz network which is provided by default by all internet providers.
To change the Wi-Fi network, navigate to Settings > Update Wi-Fi and follow the instructions in the App. You will be guided to long press (5–10 seconds) the reset button as the first step.
To reset the Wi-Fi camera, first remove the camera by navigating to Settings > Remove Device by clicking on the three dots at the top right of the camera screen. Then go to the home page, select Add Device and follow the instructions in the App. You will be guided to long press (5–10 seconds) the reset button as the first step.
Firstly, check if the camera LED is on to ensure the camera is getting power. If the LED is not turning red or green and the camera power socket works for other devices, please raise a request for replacement. Secondly, if the camera LED is on but the camera is not connected, please restart your camera and router. Thirdly, repeat step two but this time bring the camera next to the router to rule out any challenges due to Wi-Fi range, which may require an extender or mesh system.
If the camera still doesn’t work, please raise a ticket for camera replacement. These steps are especially helpful if you live in an area experiencing power surges, power or Wi-Fi outages, or live in large homes.
Firstly, check if these are rare instances or regular occurrences. We have observed outages at the internet provider’s end leading to intermittent issues, but rarely. Secondly, monitor camera performance for 15 minutes when no other devices are consuming router bandwidth for video streaming, work, or games. We have observed internet plans above 100 Mbps speed provide a seamless experience. Thirdly, bring your camera closer to the Wi-Fi router and monitor for 15 minutes to assess any distance issues that can be resolved by a Wi-Fi extender or Mesh system.
If the camera still doesn’t work, please raise a ticket for camera replacement. These steps are especially helpful if you live in an area experiencing power surges, power or Wi-Fi outages, or live in large homes.
Storage & Playback
Qubo offers an industry leading cloud storage solution with up to 28 days cloud back-up option and plans starting from Rs. 99/month. You only need one plan for multiple devices. Select the Shield icon on the top right of your camera screen to view and compare plans. Select a plan that meets your needs and once enabled, you can view past recordings in the Recordings & Alerts section.
With cloud back-up, your footage is safe from theft or corruption, streams faster, and is available from anywhere.
CCTV surveillance requires high endurance as read and write operations happen continuously at high speed. A V30 or U3 microSD card from an authorized seller is recommended for storage. MicroSD cards from unauthorized sellers or A1 microSD cards have been found to be prone to data corruption and incompatible with cameras having firmware built in India. Access the microSD card slot by unscrewing the bottom of the camera. Insert the microSD card and let the camera automatically check, reformat if needed, and reset the device. Please wait for 15 minutes before checking the Recordings & Alerts section of your camera for past recordings.
Qubo cameras are designed to provide you with long range relevant footage with past recordings of periods when activity is detected — motion or person, depending on your preference. If you require 24x7 recorded footage irrespective of any events, you will need to use a microSD card. Once the microSD card is set up, go to Settings > Recordings & Notifications by clicking on the three dots on the top right of the live view screen. Ensure the Continuous Recording option is turned on.
To format your microSD card, navigate to Settings > Storage by clicking on the three dots on the top right of your live camera screen. Select Format SD Card and confirm to format the microSD card. Please note the microSD card is formatted initially because CCTV cameras encode video into an MPEG4 stream which requires the camera to serially store data on the microSD card.
Firstly, check if the microSD card is inserted properly. While inserting, you will feel a click when the microSD card is inserted. Navigate to Settings > Storage to see if any SD card is detected by the device. Secondly, reboot the device and again navigate to Settings > Storage to see if any SD card is detected by the device. Thirdly, test the microSD card on any other device like a tablet or laptop to check if the microSD card is working or if a replacement is required.
If the SD card still doesn’t work, please raise a ticket for camera replacement. These steps are helpful if you live in an area experiencing power surges, power or Wi-Fi outages, or if you are using incompatible microSD cards which are prone to corruption.
Firstly, format the microSD card by navigating to Settings > Storage by clicking on the three dots at the top right of the live camera screen. Secondly, try re-inserting the SD card and check after 15 minutes if recording resumes. Let the camera automatically detect, format, and set up the microSD card after reinserting. Thirdly, try to reboot the device and check after 15 minutes if recording resumes. Let the camera automatically detect, format, and set up the microSD card after rebooting.
If the SD card still doesn’t work, please raise a ticket for camera replacement. These steps are helpful if you live in an area experiencing power surges, power or Wi-Fi outages, or if you are using incompatible microSD cards which are prone to corruption.
Display & Alerts
To change the resolution of the live view, please click on the Resolution icon on the control panel below the live camera view. By default, the resolution is optimized to ensure faster loading and lag-free streaming even on low networks. If you have good signal strength, you can boost resolution for sharper clarity.
To configure night vision, navigate to Settings > Night View by clicking on the three dots on the top right of your live camera screen. Select Black & White for a sharper view and Color for colored images in low light continuously. In the default Auto mode, color is automatically turned on along with the flashlight when motion or a person is detected and stays black & white the rest of the time.
Navigate to Settings > Recording & Notifications by clicking on the three dots on the top right of your camera screen. You can choose to be alerted in case of a person detection or motion detection. Select Qubo’s proprietary AI person detection for best performance which has rare instances of false alerts. With motion detection, false alerts might happen due to sudden lighting changes, shadows or reflections, or movement in curtains or plants. Tuning motion sensitivity to low or medium sensitivity can help reduce irrelevant alerts with motion detection.
Firstly, try to close apps not in use and re-launch the Qubo App on your smartphone. When smartphone memory is occupied with multiple apps, it may lead to performance issues. If loading speed is still slow, please ensure you have the latest version of the Qubo App by checking the Play Store or App Store. Qubo’s R&D team continuously releases App improvements for better customer experience. If the issue is still not resolved and the camera and smartphone internet is working fine, please raise a ticket via the Help & Support section from the Qubo App.
If you are using person detection, we have found false alerts to be a rare occurrence. If you are facing frequent issues with person detection, please raise a ticket to help us understand your scenario. If you use motion detection, false alerts might happen due to sudden lighting changes, shadows or reflections, or movement in curtains or plants. Navigate to Settings > Recording & Notifications by clicking on the three dots on the top right of your camera screen and select low or medium sensitivity for motion detection.
Please note you can also set up Zones to detect not within the complete field of view of the camera but specific areas only. This helps remove irrelevant areas, especially if they generate incorrect alerts.

Firstly, ensure audio is enabled and the icon is highlighted to listen to audio. Secondly, check that there are no obstructions near the mic and speaker of the camera. If the audio is still not working as expected, please check once if audio improves with another smartphone. If the problem persists, please raise a support ticket.
Firstly, try any other controls like flashlight or capture to ensure the App is connected to the camera. Then try to gently rotate the camera by hand. If you feel high resistance or movement is stuck, dust may have accumulated. Try to clear dust by gently rotating the camera by hand 8–10 times. If the issue persists, please raise a support ticket.
