2. Add the device
   Sign in to the App, connect to Wi-Fi and add the device according to the prompts (please bring the device close to the router when configuring).

Set up the camera

1. Click the “Add Camera Now” in the App and enter the Wi-Fi network name and password that the camera you want to connect.

2. To ensure a longer distance connection, the camera only supports the 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi with stronger wall penetration capability and does not support Wi-Fi for enterprise level authentication currently.
   Please ensure that the entered Wi-Fi meets the requirements.
   After completion, click “Continue” to generate the QR code for pairing the camera.
   

3. After pressing the camera switch for 3 seconds, the camera will turn on. The camera will emit the scanning sound “Ding Dong Ding Dong” after it is turned on (if you do not hear it, please double click the power button).
   

4. Take the lens of the camera facing the QR code generated on VicoHome about 20 cm (7 inches) until you hear a “Ding” sound.
   

5. After a while, the camera will give out a prompt sound of a successful connection. At this moment, please set the name for the device on the App and select the location you want to place the device. Click “Continue” to complete the pairing.

Possible problems with binding:

• When you hear the “Wi-Fi Password Error”, please check whether the Wi-Fi password you entered in the App is correct;
• When you hear the “Authentication error”, please ensure that your Wi-Fi network is not an enterprise-level network, and the device supports  only the network with the security level below WPA-2;
• When you hear the “Wi-Fi not found”, please check whether you select or enter the correct Wi-Fi name, and place the device near the Wi-Fi router and ensure that the router is powered on. Please note that 5Ghz Wi-Fi cannot be searched by the device;
• When you hear the “Retrieving IP timeout”, it indicates that the number of devices connected to the router in your home is too many to connect more devices. Please remove some of the connected devices that are not commonly used or restart the router to  clear the unconnected devices. You may need to contact the router administrator;
• When you hear the “Cloud service connection fail”, please check whether your router is connected properly to the external network. When you hear this error prompt, it is common on the condition of network disconnection or that the selected router in  your home is a local area network server. Please ensure that the network connection is normal, and try to temporarily turn of the firewall to connect again.

Install the camera

You can place the camera on a shelf or other surfaces to use, or you can install it on a wall to use.

1. Select a good spot for your camera
   Select a good spot for your camera, please install the camera in a position where its view is not blocked and ensure that it is within the coverage of the Wi-Fi network. The PIR infrared sensor is more sensitive to movements across the camera’s field of view  than movements toward or away from the camera.

Screw the expansion nut into the holes on the wall, and then connect the bracket to the  expansion nut with screws to complete the fixing. 2) Fix the camera
   Align the bracket screw with the screw hole on the back or bottom of the camera, and then rotate it to the tightened state. 3) Adjust the angle
