  • Updated

Quick Setup Overview

  • Enter pairing mode
  • Use the app to scan QR code
  • Final configuration

Connection Methods

Before proceeding to App Setup, note that there are two ways to add your bird feeder camera to the app:

  • Bluetooth Connection (Recommended) Automatically detects your camera via Bluetooth and sends the network info.
  • QR Code Connection (Alternative) Use this method when Bluetooth is not available, your phone doesn’t detect the camera, or pairing fails.

This article focuses on the QR code setup method.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Power on the camera

  • The power button is located on top of the camera body, under the silicone cover — not on the feeder base itself.
  • To turn on the bird feeder camera, press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds until you hear a startup sound and see the blue light come on.

2. Enter Pairing Mode

2.1 First-Time Pairing

  • When the camera is powered on for the first time, it will automatically enter pairing mode.
  • You’ll see the blue indicator light flashing and hear a repeated “Ding Dong Ding Dong” sound.

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:

  • After powering on the camera, quickly double-press the power button.
  • Once pairing mode is activated, the blue indicator light will start flashing and you’ll hear a repeated “Ding Dong Ding Dong” sound.

3. Connect via QR Code in the App

  • 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.”
  • 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” — tap “I heard the sound”, then tap “Next Step.”
  • On the “Choose your device” screen, if your camera is not listed, tap “Other connection methods.”
  • On the “Choose a device connection method” screen:
    • Select “Connect via Wi-Fi”, then tap “Continue”
  • On the “Select Wi-Fi for the device” screen:
    • Enter your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi name and password
    • Tap “Next Step”
  • A confirmation pop-up will appear
    • Tap “Confirm” if the Wi-Fi info is correct
  • You’ll see a QR code on screen. Hold your phone 15–25 cm in front of the camera lens.
  • When scanned successfully, you’ll hear a “beep”. The app will display “Connecting...” as it finalizes the setup.

4. Final Configuration

  • After the QR code is successfully scanned, then 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.
