The main screen with the right-hand side buttons enabled

The Settings screen allows you to do the following:

1. Set camera and video buttons to appear on the left or right of the main screen in the Ferret Tools App, for easier one-handed operation.

APP SETTINGS – ALWAYS UP VIEWING MODE

2. Change the Display Mode from  Normal (picture orientation reflects camera orientation) to an Always UpMode – either Round or Full Screen.

In Always Up mode, the picture orientation remains the right way up on the smart device display, regardless of the camera’s orientation.
In this mode, no matter which way the Ferret camera is rotated, the image on the App is always the right way up.

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 lead 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 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 from 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.
