This article is for troubleshooting a disconnected Dream Sight camera video stream after it has been previously set up. Follow the troubleshooting guide below to restore the connection and video stream.

Begin by checking the following:

  1. Force close then relaunch the Owlet App.
  2. Check that your camera is properly connected to your WiFi.  For additional help, refer to the WiFi Setup & Troubleshooting article.
  3. Diagnose and troubleshoot your WiFi problems with the help of our support partner RouteThis Helps. Check out the WiFi Cam Self-Help Tool.
  4. On your mobile device and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the camera, run a speed test.
    • Both download and Upload speeds must exceed 2 Mbps. The Dream SIght camera requires 2 Mbps of dedicated bandwidth for both download and upload.

    • Check for updates in the Google Play/App Store and we also recommend using automatic updates.
