What have you tried?

 

Reboot?

 

Power on/off?

 

Factory reset?

 

What do you see in the browser interface?

 

There should be a manual for this device here:

It happens on my Ultra base every now and then....

Key question is does the camera work??  Mine always does even if flashing amber.

 

I usu fix it by doing a restart in setting of base... ends up Blue but camera works the same.

Best thing is to move the Smarthub at least 12 ft from any other router ( need a longer cable tho )

@AUSTOM56,

Also try temporarily moving the cameras closer to the hub and power cycle the hub to see if that fixes the problem. I enclosed my back porch and the signal strengths of a couple of cameras outside the porch dropped and now the hub blinks amber all the time. The cameras still work well though, even with the reduced signal strength.

This has been happening here for a week or so now.

 

The flashing orange light does not seem to affect the operation of the system.

 

Heaven only knows what is going on.

 

If I go in and do something, it will go blue for a bit, and then disco mode kicks in again.
