camera on a smartphone or tablet using the
Lorex Baby Link app: cloud connection and
hotspot connection.
Cloud Connection
You can also connect to the camera over the
Internet from anywhere in the world. The camera
connects to your wireless router to send data
securely over the Internet.
Internet

view live video from the camera and configure
the camera’s settings online from anywhere in the
world. The camera must be within range
of your wireless router to create a cloud
connection.
Hotspot Connection

link between the camera and your smartphone or
tablet that does not require an Internet connection.
While connected to the camera’s hotspot, you can
view live video from the camera and configure the
camera’s settings, all without an Internet connection!
Only devices within range of the hotspot
(up to 328ft / 100m) may connect to it.
