Camera 4 settings may not have been updated

I keep getting this message at the bottom of the camera screen when I check my cameras on the security tab of the xfinty app. I have no recollection of ever updating any of my cameras or how I would do it manually . I rebooted camera 4 but i continue to the this message. It’s the X3 indoor camera and we like it a lot. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Lkpolo, Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to reach out. As someone who depends on my home security cameras to work correctly, I can understand the concern with getting that message notification at the bottom of the camera screen. You've reached the right place. Our team of experts are happy to help over social media. Just to confirm, you are not getting this message on multiple cameras and just camera 4. Does this sound correct? Can you also tell us if you checked to see if you have the latest version of the Xfinity app?

Yes the app is on the latest version. I also logged out of the app and logged back in and the issue continues. Camera 4 is the only smaller X3 indoor Xfinity camera we own. Three other cameras are the X2 indoor/outdoor and the video door are all acting fine. I’m hoping that maybe it’s a bug with the current version. I haven’t updated my iPhone 16 to the new iOS version 26 because it is usually full of bugs.

I sent a message and was told it was a violation of terms.

I’m still getting that same error, camera 4 may not have updated. We had two power failures yesterday and service was degraded before the outage and more afterwards. Fox News is choppy at best every few minutes. I rebooted my gateway yesterday and checked this morning. The Wi-Fi tab said that I’m only getting 40% of plan speed. Restart to fix. I restarted and now the Wi-Fi tab says I’m only getting 88% of plan speed. Now at the devices section, my iPhone 16 and my husband’s iPhone 16 say on Power Boost which looks like that’s the problem. We’re in Wi-Fi at home but no other services are working well. In addition to the choppy video here and there I get a message that video doorbell is offline. It’s hardwired so all I can do is reboot the router and if that doesn’t work I have to shut off breaker 9 and power off everything on that line. Shouldn’t be necessary.

So, NO I cannot accept solution as the problem continues. Clearly there is a node or other problem in my community if the phones can be on Power Boost but all the other services have issues. We had heavy rain recently so maybe a branch on a line causing blinking lights and damaging Xfinity equipment.

Lkpolo Good morning! We appreciate you reaching out to our Xfinity Forums Team. I can definitely see how this would be a frustrating experience. It's possible the power issue could have caused some bigger issues. I'm happy to take a look, and see what's going on. Can you please send a Direct Message with your name, and service address?

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there.
As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list.

I’ve done the direct message thing already and was told I was violating forum rules. I still get this message that camera 4 may not have updated along with the other things I mentioned in the above post. In addition to those issues now every time my husband enters the house from outdoors I receive a text and an email that a new iPhone has connected to our network. If he had just updated his version of iOS I would expect that but he has not done so. He hasn’t changed any settings on his iPhone since he has no clue what settings to change. This is most likely another bug in the Xfinity app. If it wasn’t for the camera views and recordings I wouldn’t use the app.

I was told to send a message after the original post above. Anyway, I’m still getting this message when I go to the cameras. I changed a setting on my husband’s iPhone to stop the notification of a new iPhone has connected to our network. The camera the message is related to is the X3 indoor camera and I have no idea what to do about it. The camera is less than a year old.
