Method 2: Use Router Mode
You will first need to connect to the router that is available inside the uCare Cam, configure the WiFi settings
for your home router, then the uCare Cam will restart and connect to your home router.
Write down, or have handy, the SSID of your WiFi router and your WiFi password. For example, the
SSID may be something like “TP-Link-XXXXX” or “NETGEAR”. You will need both the SSID and the
password during this process.
1. Make sure the status LED on the uCare Cam is blinking red and
green. If the status LED is not blinking red and green, please
press and hold the WPS/REST button for 10 seconds to reset the
uCare Cam. Wait for 1-2 minutes for it to restart and the LED
should turn red and green.
2. Connect your iOS device to the router inside the uCare Cam. To
connect to the uCare Cam router, open up “Settings” , then
“Wi-Fi” and let it search for a network. The network will be
“wifi-cam-p2p”. Click on “wifi-cam-p2p” to connect.
3. Now, open the smartphone App “uCare Cam” and click on
the tab at the bottom of the screen that says “WiFi Connect”.
Click on “Router mode”, then “Next”. You will see live video.
4. Enter the WiFi router SSID and password for your home router.
Click on the “Next” button and again, on the next screen, the
“Next” button.
5. Please enter a Camera name (2 to 20 characters) and the default
password “0000”. You are encouraged to change the default
password after setup for security purposes. Then click “Finish”.
6. After the uCare Cam receives this information, it will restart.
Please wait for it to start up and connect to your home router.
When it successfully connects, the status LED colour will turn
orange. It may take up to 10 minutes. If the status LED colour
does not turn orange, please check your router and make sure the
uCare Cam is within the signal area of your WiFi router. Then try
setup again, starting from Step 2.
7. Your iOS device should have disconnected from “wifi-cam-p2p” and reconnected to your home router.
Please check that your iOS device has connected to your home router now, via “Settings” -> “Wi-Fi”. If
it has not, please connect your smartphone to your home router WiFi.
8. Open the “uCare Cam” smartphone App, and you can click on the camera name in the Camera List view
to connect.
