Things to Note before Getting Started

High-speed WiFi Internet Connection

One critical factor affecting the performance of your PT-300Q camera is the relative positions of your home WiFi router and the PT-300Q. Set up your PT- 300Q in an open space (DO NOT place it directly on the floor); the closer the camera is to the router, the stronger the WiFi signal will be, and the better the footage on your smartphone will be.

A slow network speed will also affect the performance of your PT-300Q camera. It is recommended that you have an upload speed of at least 2Mbps or higher per camera. You can easily test your network’s upload and download speeds by getting a speed-test app.

The PT-300Q only supports 2.4GHz WiFi band.

SSID and Password

Have your WiFi network name and password handy. The WiFi network name is normally referred as the SSID. The password or security ID is normally the next line or two down from the WiFi/SSID network name.

These can be easily found on your WiFi router if they were left as default during the router setup.
For example:
WiFi/SSID Network Name: XXXX
WiFi/SSID Network Password/Security Key: XXXXX

Operating System Requirements

– iOS 9.0 or above with iPhone 6 or newer
– Android 6.0 or above
