• If you hear “WiFi Password Error” from the camera, please check whether the WiFi password you entered into the App is correct. Some common issues the first letter of the password getting auto-capitalized on some devices.
• If you hear”WiFi not found” please check whether your selected WiFi network has the correct name and make sure to place the camera as well as the device you installed the App on is near the router. Also, make sure the network is broadcasting in 2.4 GHz as SGhz bands are not supported.
• If you hear “Authentication Error”, please ensure that the WiFi network is not set up with enterprise-level authentication as the device only supports security levels of WPA-2 and below.
• If you hear “Retrieving IP timeout” this indicates that there are too many devices connected to your router and is unable to allocate additional space for the camera. Please remove some of your connected devices and restart the router before attempting to connect the camera again.
• If you hear “Cloud service connection fail” please check to make sure your router is properly connected to the external network, typically this is your modem connection. This error is usually caused by a network disconnection or your router is set up for local area connections only. Please check your network connectivity then attempt to connect the camera again.

Click the share button on the home page or the “Share” in the camera settings to enter the sharing page, and then click “Invite” to generate a QR code. Your friends can now get some of the access rights by scanning the QR code on your phone.

2. Q:Why doesn’t the WiFi name appear when I connect to WiFi?
   A: On Apple devices with iOS13 and above, you need to turn on the “location permission” for the App in the system settings and change it to” allow when using.”

3. Q:Will the camera show red lights when night vision is activated?
   A: The built-in infrared lamp beads make the camera only show some dim red lights when night vision is activated, but the image quality is still clear under no light environment.

4. Q:What are the requirements for WiFi?
   A: Please use a 2.4GHz wireless network. The device does not support the 5GHz wireless network. Meanwhile, please set the WiFi authentication method to WPA2-PSK or other lower level of the security method. A password is required.
