Check the battery level of your monitor
Check your phone Power Saving Settings. Some modes turn off external devices
We recommend using a well-charged phone.
Try charging your phone when using the app

Check if reconnects are visible on your stream. Sometimes the monitor can reconnect often, but the delay is about 0,5 secs and can’t be visible.
If monitor disconnects each time the screen is locked AND battery-saving settings can’t be changed, you need to turn off sleep mode on your phone for the time of using the app. You can also try some app that keeps the screen awake.
