- Note: The voice prompt you will hear may be “Welcome to Reolink, please install Reolink app and scan the QR code on the camera” in multilingual versions, or “please run Reolink app, add the camera and set it up”.
- Step 2: Tap the icon + in the top right corner to start the initial setup.
- Step 3: Scan the QR code on the back of the camera. You may tap Light to enable a flashlight when setting up the camera in a dark environment. If the phone doesn’t respond, please tap Input UID/IP and then manually type in the UID (16-digit characters under the QR code of the camera). Then click Next.
- Step 4: Select Wi-Fi Not Configured. If you hear a voice prompt played by the camera, please tick correspondingly and then tap Next.

- Step 3: Screw the camera to the mount.
- Step 4: Adjust the camera’s angle to get the best field of view.
- Step 5: Secure the camera by turning the part on the mount identified in the chart clockwise.

Install the Camera with Loop Strap
If you’d like to install the camera to a tree stem, follow up on the mounting method below.
- Step 1: Thread the loop strap through the slot at the bottom of the security bracket.
- Step 2: Fasten the strap around the tree tightly.
Place the Camera on a Surface
