સામાન્ય સમસ્યાઓ અને ઉકેલો:

• કેમેરા ચાલુ નથી: ખાતરી કરો કે બેટરી સંપૂર્ણપણે ચાર્જ થયેલ છે અને યોગ્ય રીતે દાખલ કરેલી છે. બીજી બેટરીનો ઉપયોગ કરવાનો પ્રયાસ કરો.

• Poor video/picture quality: Ensure recording is done in optimal light conditions. Quality will be better when viewed on a phone/computer compared to the camera's small screen.
• Wi-Fi કનેક્શન સમસ્યાઓ: For Android, ensure mobile data is off. For iOS, check "Local Network" and "WiFi & Cellular Data" permissions for the "Live DV" app in phone settings.
