iPad Says Not Connected - Smart/Wireless Camera

Check 1. Check to see if you're on the Demo game

The Sport Scope app opens to the Demo game by default. The camera status on the Demo game will always be Not Connected, this is not actually your true camera status.

To find out if your camera status is actually Not Connected, go to the Cameras page:

If one or more of your camera angles still says Not Connected, proceed to Step 2.

Check 2. Check your WiFi Connection

If the WiFi at the top of your screen is red and not connected to the Sport Scope network, you need to go to your WiFi settings on the iPad and connect to the network.

If you do not see your WiFi network then see this article:

No Sport Scope/EDGE WiFi Network on iPad WiFi Page

Check 3. Check the Local Network Permission

As of iOS 14, a new permission was added that can prevent the iPad from seeing the cameras on the network. Open up the Settings for your iPad and follow as shown:

Once you've enabled that, go back to the app and check the cameras. If your cameras now say Ready, STOP HERE. Otherwise, proceed to the next section.

Check 4. Force Close the Sport Scope App and Reopen

If the above steps still have not fixed the issue "force close" the Sport Scope app from the iPad and then reopen. Go back to the Cameras page and check if the status has changed. Sometimes the problem is a software display error that can be resolved in this way.

The above video shows both methods for force closing the Sport Scope app and reopening. 

Option 1: Double tap the physical home button on the iPad

Option 2: Slowly drag up from the bottom of the screen and release

Check 5. Reboot Computer

If the above steps still have not fixed the issue next try restarting the power on either the Smart/Wireless Camera or Pressbox EDGE box computer:

Smart/Wireless Camera: Pull power cord and plug back in:

Pressbox EDGE Replay box: Pull power cord and plug back in:

Check 6. Endzone - Not Connected

Part A: Check the Power to your Devices

If still experiencing endzone - Not Connected, check the power to your Smart/Wireless Camera:

Make sure your power cord is plugged into the power port and the other end is plugged into the blue computer/power port on your battery.

MAKE SURE THE BATTERY IS ON (Your battery may look different than the example below, look for the blue computer/power label):

Part B: Check Ethernet Connection/Power Cord

If the computer is getting power then you should see a flashing light on the Smart/Wireless Camera ethernet port:

If there is no light then there is a disconnect between your network connection on the ground and the computer or between the working battery and the computer:

 

Make sure the ethernet is plugged into the correct port on your router or your POE injector. You may need to try replacing the ethernet cable with a different cable for testing

You may also want to try a backup power USB cord to make sure that power is properly being transmitted from the battery to the computer:

Check 7. Pressbox - Not Connected

Part A: Check the Power to your Devices

If still experiencing pressbox - Not Connected check the power to your EDGE Box:

Make sure your power cord is plugged into the power port and the other end is plugged into the power strip.

 

Part B: Check Ethernet Connection/Power Cord

If the computer is getting power then you should see a flashing light on the EDGE Box ethernet port:

If there is no light, the EDGE box is not connecting to the network:

 

Make sure the Ethernet is plugged into the correct port on your router. You may need to try replacing the Ethernet cable with a different cable for testing

You may also want to try a backup power USB cord to make sure that power is properly being transmitted from the battery to the computer:

If all of your cameras are properly connected via Ethernet and Power, and you are still getting Not Connected move on to the next step.

Step 6. Check Bridge Antenna Connection

Make sure both your Pressbox Bridge and Endzone Bridge Antennas have all 6 lights:

• Power light
• LAN light (flashing)
• 4 Link lights

If you do not have all 6 lights lit up, then there are two things to look for:

Missing Link Connectivity Lights

• If ALL of the Link Connectivity lights are not lit, this means that this bridge isn't communicating with the other(s). Check to make sure that the Bridge Antennas are connected to the Antenna Port on the router/POE Injector. If the Pressbox Bridge is not on, the Bridges will not connect. Ensure your Pressbox Bridge is powered first before powering the others.
• If SOME of the Link Connectivity Lights are not lit, you simply will need to adjust the angle of your antenna. If you're at the Endzone bridge, make sure it is aimed up to the pressbox. If you're working with the Pressbox bridge, ensure it is aimed down to the endzone.
• If NONE of the lights are on, test with a different Ethernet cable. See below how to connect a different Ethernet cable:
