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

2. Q: Why doesn’t the Wi-Fi name appear when I connect to Wi-Fi?

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 a light environment.
