Connect to Wi-Fi:

  • The app will guide you through connecting the camera to your Wi-Fi network. You’ll need to enter your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password.

Adjust Camera Settings:

  • In the app, configure the camera settings to suit your needs. This might include setting up motion detection, adjusting video quality, and enabling notifications.

Mount the Camera (Optional):

Optional: Set Up Cloud Storage:

  • Some wireless cameras offer cloud storage for recorded footage. If available, follow the instructions to set up cloud storage.

Install the Camera’s Mobile App:

  • This usually involves scanning a QR code on the camera or manually entering its serial number.

Position the Camera:

  • Place the camera in your desired location. Make sure it has a clear view of the area you want to monitor.

Test the Camera:

  • Ensure the camera is working correctly by testing it. You should be able to see a live feed from the camera in the app.
