Why doesn't the Wi-Fi name appear when I connect to Wi-Fi?

Will the camera show red lights when night vision is activated?

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.

What are the requirements for Wi-Fi?

Please use a 2.4GHz wireless network. The device does not support the 5GHz wireless network. Meanwhile, please set the Wi-Fi authentication method to WPA2-PSK or other lower level of security method. A password is required.

How far should the camera be placed from the router?

After testing, the Wi-Fi connection distance can normally reach up to150 meters in the open area. However, the actual situation depends on the strength of Wi-Fi and its surrounding environment (thick walls, electromagnetic devices, large metal objects will all cause interference to the Wi-Fi signals). If the camera connection signal is weak or unstable, please place the camera as close to the router as possible.
