Quick Setup Overview
- Power on the camera
- Enter pairing mode
- Add device in the App via Bluetooth
- Complete final configuration
Connection Methods
There are two ways to add your plug-in camera to the app:
- Bluetooth Connection (Recommended) — Detects your camera via Bluetooth and transfers 2.4GHz/5Ghz Wi-Fi configuration automatically.
- QR Code Connection (Backup) — Used when Bluetooth connection fails or the device isn’t found.
This article focuses on the Bluetooth setup method.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Power on the Camera
- Connect the power adapter to the camera and plug it into a wall outlet.
- The device will power on automatically.
2. Enter Pairing Mode
2.1 First-Time Pairing
- When powered on for the first time, the camera automatically enters pairing mode.
- You’ll hear “Ding Dong Ding Dong”, indicating it’s ready to be added in the app.
2.2 Re-Pairing (Previously Connected Device)
If the camera was previously paired, it won’t enter pairing mode automatically. To activate pairing mode manually:
- Hold the Reset button for 5–10 seconds.
- If the button is recessed, use the provided reset pin or a paperclip.
- When pairing mode starts, you’ll hear “Ding Dong Ding Dong”.
3. Connect via Bluetooth in the App
3.1 Enable Bluetooth
- Turn on Bluetooth in your phone’s settings.
- On Android, simply turn on Bluetooth in system settings.
- On iOS, turn on Bluetooth and make sure the app has Bluetooth permission in Settings.
3.2 Open the app
- If this is your first time adding a device, tap “Add Camera Now” on the home screen.
- If you’ve added devices before, tap the “+” icon in the upper-right corner and choose “Add a new device.”
3.3 Detect and Connect via Bluetooth
- On the “Turn on the device” screen, make sure the camera is powered on and in pairing mode.
- Once you hear the startup sound — a repeated “Ding Dong Ding Dong” — the app will begin scanning for nearby devices via Bluetooth.
If your camera is detected:
- → A “New device found” message with a red dot will appear.
- → Tap it to confirm the device model and SN.
- → Select your 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi, confirm the info, and proceed to the “Connecting...” screen.
If not detected:
- → Tap “I heard the sound” → “Next Step”, then manually select your camera model.
- → Choose a 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi network, confirm the details, and continue to “Connecting...”.
3.4 Use QR Code as Backup
- If your camera still doesn’t appear, tap “Other connection methods.”
- Select “Connect via QR code”, then tap “Continue”.
Use the QR code method if the Bluetooth connection fails or your camera isn't detected.
4. Final Configuration
- After the camera connects successfully, it will automatically jump to “Set a name and location for the device”.
- Enter a name and choose a location, then tap “Next Step”.
You’ll see “Device added successfully”, then:
- If you need to add more cameras, tap “Add another device” to repeat the setup process.
- If you tap “Let’s start” to go through the installation guide. On the next screen, the app will check signal quality:
- If signal is good, tap “Next Step”.
- Follow each step of the on-screen installation guidance.
- Tap “Finish” to complete setup.
You’ll then return to the Home screen, and the device is ready to use.
