Why won’t my SmartThings camera connect?
If you’re having trouble getting your SmartThings camera to connect, you’re not alone! Many people have had this issue, and there are a few possible reasons why it might not be working correctly.
The first thing you should do is check to make sure your camera is properly set up in the SmartThings app. Go to the “Things” section and select “Cameras” from the list. If your camera isn’t listed, make sure it’s turned on and connected to your network.

If none of these solutions work, you may need to contact SmartThings support for help.
