You can download the garage tags at this link, and print they with letter/A4 paper size: https://wp.kamiatech.com/garagecam-tag-download/ .

1. If you have manually move the camera after installation, or camera’s Initial Viewpoint does not match the original setup, the camera may not detect the garage door status. You may need to reset the initial viewpoint again. Tap Device Settings > Initial Viewpoint to set the camera’s Initial Viewpoint.
2. You need affix the garage tags correctly, otherwise there may be detection failures. Please affix the garage tag to the garage door according to the guidance as below.

The most possible reason is the camera has been rotated manually which interupted the memory of the camera motor. If you have manually moved the camera, or camera’s Initial Viewpoint does not match the original setup, you may need to calibrate the camera motor again. Tap Device Settings > Camera Motor Calibration to calibrate the camera’s Initial Viewpoint.

Currently we don’t have the tags like the original ones in the camera box for sale, but we have them on our website for free download. Please visit https://wp.kamiatech.com/garagecam-tag-download, and print them with letter/A4 paper. Make sure that you use the double-sided tapes on the back so no reflection will be involved to interfere with garage door status detection.

You may need to reset the initial viewpoint again. Tap Device Settings > Initial Viewpoint to set the camera’s Initial Viewpoint.

We’ve conducted numerous tests before product launch with beta testers from the US and Canada to optimize garage door status recognition. Here we list the main reasons that caused false alerts from the real usage:
1. Over 65% of false alerts were due to changes in camera and/or tag position. You can easily identify this by checking the Kamia app, if you can see the tag through the camera without any blocking (even shadows) but the garage door shown as "Open" then that's the problem. The user may have inadvertently moved the camera manually (not through the app, in which case the camera automatically rotates back to its original position) or the camera's mounting place such as a wall cabinet, or re-affixed the detection tag without updating the settings in the app.

To fix this, reset the initial viewpoint. Click Device Settings > Initial Viewpoint to set the camera’s Initial Viewpoint.

2. 20%+ cases were because of tag being blocked. If you receive false Open/Close alerts at short intervals (less than 10s between open and close), or garage door being recognized as Open for a certain time period while it is Closed, you may consider the blocked tag as the reason. More precisely, the tag is totally or partially (even just the white black space on the edge of the tag), permanently or temporarily (like some shadow of the cable, motor rail or bracket at certain time of the day due to the light) blocked from the camera view.

To fix this, remove the obstacle or change the tag position. Don't forget to update the camera's Initial Viewpoint in the Kamia app by selecting the latter option.

3. No reflective stuff around or on the surface of the tag. Our garage tag come with adhesive tape on the back, if you want to add more adhesiveness, make sure that you use the double-sided tapes on the back so no reflection will be involved to interfere with garage door status detection.

Should you have any further questions, we are here to help. Feel free to reach us directly at support@kamiatech.com and we will get back to you within 24 hours.

Kamia garage camera detects the garage tags, monitors the door opened/closed with image recognition. If you control the camera from the Kamia app to move out of the initial viewpoint, camera cannot detect garage door status and will show the status of the garage door as unknown. The camera will automatically return to the initial viewpoint in up to 5 minutes.

Currently, Kamia garage camera cannot control garage door opener.

Kamia garage camera supports many types of garage doors, like Sectional Garage Doors, Slide to the Side Garage Doors, Side Hinged Garage Doors, Tilt-Up Garage Doors. For Roll-up Garage Doors, there is generally no place for affixing the garage tag, Kamia garage camera does not support this type of garage door.

Make sure there is no window on the garage door, because that may create strong lighting contrast which impacts the visual detection.

For the best experience, we recommend to use Kamia garage camera in the garage which is not larger than width 28 feet (8.5m) and depth 22 feet (6.7m).
