2. Turn on your phone’s WiFi and wait up to 7 mins for the
device to generate a WiFi signal. The WiFi Signal name will
match the UID on the sticker on the back of the device.
3. Once the device generates its WiFi signal, connect to it via the
WiFi settings on your phone.
oNOTE: Some Android devices may produce a warning
that the network has no internet access. If you see this,
choose to connect to the network anyway.
4. After connecting to the WiFi Signal with your mobile device,
open the P2PLiveCam App.
oNOTE: For iOS devices you must wait until the WiFi
Signal appears next to your Phone Carrier Name in the
status bar at the top of your phone screen.

the app.
6. Tap “Search (LAN)” and the app should show a “New Device”.

be filled in

and it will show “Online”. You may now tap on this camera
entry to test the video feed.
NOTE: You will be prompted to change the device password the first
time you view the camera video feed. We suggest that you do change
this to prevent any unauthorized viewing of your camera.
IMPORTANT: You must keep this password in a safe place. If you
ever need to access the camera from a different phone or reinstall
the camera app, this password will be required to re-add the
camera. If you forget the password, you must do a factory reset on
the device. See the troubleshooting section below for instructions.
