  • Enter pairing mode
  • Use the app to connect via Bluetooth

Connection Methods

Before proceeding to setup, be aware that there are two ways to connect your light bulb camera:

  • Bluetooth Connection (Recommended) Detects your camera via Bluetooth and transfers 2.4G/5G wifi 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. Choose a Light Socket

  • Use a standard E27 or E26 socket (110V–240V)
  • Avoid dimmer-controlled sockets, as they may interfere with power supply
  • Choose a location near your 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi router for better signal

Note: Check the user manual for model-specific voltage or socket requirements

2. Power on the Camera

  • Turn off power to the socket before installation
  • Screw the light bulb camera into the socket securely
  • Turn the socket back on—the camera will automatically turn on

3. Enter Pairing Mode

3.1 First-Time Pairing

When powered on for the first time, the light bulb camera automatically enters pairing mode.

  • You’ll see a flashing blue light.
  • You’ll hear “Ding Dong Ding Dong”, indicating it’s ready to be added in the app.

3.2 Re-Pairing (Previously Connected Device)

If the light bulb camera has been paired before and you're reconnecting it again, it won’t enter pairing mode automatically.

To manually enter pairing mode:

  1. Press and hold the Reset button (located near the MicroSD card slot) for 5–7 seconds.
  2. Release when you hear the “Ding Dong Ding Dong” sound.
  3. The blue light will start flashing, confirming it’s ready to connect.

4. Connect via Bluetooth in the App

4.1 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.

4.2 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.”

4.3 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...”

4.4 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 Bluetooth fails or your camera isn't detected.

5. 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:
    • 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.
