How to change the WiFi Network of the camera
If you need to change the WiFi network that your device is connected to, delete the device from the Brookstone Smart App. Then start the set up process again as if you were adding a new device when you are connected to the new WIFI Network that you want to connect your existing device to. Your device will now remember the new WiFi Network.
