FAQs
I can’t connect or see the camera when I search on Bluetooth?
The Ferret camera has a built in WiFi hotspot. No other network is needed, and
the camera does not connect via Bluetooth.
Can I use the camera underground, underwater or inside a conduit?
No, it will not work underground, underwater or inside a metallic conduit as
these scenarios will block the WiFi signal.
How long can I use my Ferret before recharging the battery?
Your Ferret will give you up to 90 minutes of use, with the LEDs on normal
brightness, before it needs recharging.
What does the rear LED indicate?
The rear LED indicates: RED = Charging, OFF = Fully Charged, WHITE = Camera ON
I can’t connect to WiFi or the WiFi won’t stay connected on my Android?
Some Androids don’t understand why you want to connect to a WiFi network
without the Internet. If a warning alert is displayed, check the box to not
ask/show again and click OK/Yes I can connect to the WiFi, but it won’t show
an image in the App. Go to Settings -> Data usage -> Cellular data usage and
scroll down to find and select the Ferret App. Turn off Background data to
prevent the App trying to use cellular data.
When I try to download the App it asks for a password – why?
The Ferret App is free – it will never ask for a password or a code. Your
phone sometimes will ask for a password due to your App Store not having a
payment method.
Why does my Firmware Update not progress, it stays on 0% progress?
Please try placing your phone into Airplane or Flight mode, turn your phone’s
WiFi back on (while staying in Airplane mode), restart your Ferret App and
Ferret camera, and try the firmware update again.
