your smartphone or tablet.
oAndroid:

oiPhone:
www.minigadgets.com/lcpios
2. This device can only make one Wi-Fi
pairing attempt and then the TUT signal
will disappear. If the pairing process is
unsuccessful the device will be required
to be sent in for a factory reset. Please
verify the name of your router’s Wi-Fi
signal and password, and follow the
steps on the next page to ensure your
device has the best chance possible of
pairing with your router.

6 Version 2.0
This device will only connect to routers
that produce a 2.4 GHz signal. Please
contact your internet service provider to
determine if your router is 2.4 or 5.8
GHz.
If your wireless network has a password
using any special characters, please
change it so it is using only
numbers/letters.
Turn off your phone’s mobile data prior
to connecting to the device’s wi-fi
signal. Some phones will ignore wi-fi
connections that do not have internet
access if mobile data is enabled.
Make sure you are within 10 feet of
your router when pairing the device
with wi-fi. If the device gets hardwired
for power, pair the unit by powering it
with the test plug prior to hardwiring it
in.

7 Version 2.0
Note: If you are using this anywhere other than
the US, you will need to purchase a converter in
order to use the device and avoid damaging the
product. Because different countries use
different voltages in their electrical wiring, you
will need a converter that adapts to the current
in your particular country.
IMPORTANT: You will need to contact a
professional electrician to install this device
correctly. We are not responsible for any
damages or incorrect installation. Minigadgets
cannot provide any instructions related to
hardwiring this device into an electrical
system.
IMPORTANT WARRANY INFORMATION:
If the warranty sticker on your device has been
removed or tampered with, your lifetime
warranty will be voided. You may be charged
fees or denied a return should this happen.

STEP ONE –ADDING THE DEVICE TO THE APP &
PAIRING WITH WI-FI FOR REMOTE VIEWING
Note: If you do not want to use your device for
remotely live streaming/video playback, you
can still use it as a DVR unit. You will be
required to connect your phone to the device’s
wi-fi signal in order to view the live stream, play
videos back via the app, or modify camera
settings. If you wish to use it as a DVR unit,
when you get to #5 and see ‘AP added device,
whether the network?’ choose ‘No’ and proceed
to Step Two.
CONNECTING TO YOUR DEVICE’S WI-FI SIGNAL
In order to first use your device and set it up,
you must first connect to its wi-fi signal.
1. Power the device on.
If your unit is capable of being
hardwired, either insert the test
plug that came attached with it
into an outlet, or have it

9 Version 2.0
professionally hardwired into
the existing electrical system
2. Turn on your phone’s Wi-Fi and wait up
to 5 minutes for the device to generate
a Wi-Fi signal (this will match the UID
on the sticker, ex: TUTxxxxxxx)
3. Once the device generates its Wi-Fi
signal, connect to it via the Wi-Fi
settings on your phone. It should display
as ‘Connected’ or ‘Current Network’.
Note: Some devices may produce a warning
that the network has no internet access and will
ask if you want to use mobile/cellular data
instead. Choose to stay connected to the wi-fi
connection.
Note: For iOS devices, you must wait until the
Wi-Fi signal appears next to your Phone Carrier
Name at the top of your phone screen.

10 Version 2.0
4. After connecting, open the LookCamPro
App.
5. The app will automatically detect the
camera, and display an “AP added
device, whether the network?”
message. Select “Sure”.
6. The app will take you to a new screen to
select the network you wish to pair the
device with.
7. Put in the password for the desired
network and press ‘Sure’. The camera
will reboot and should come online
within 5 minutes.
Note: Please follow the tips on
page 5 to ensure a proper
connection is formed between
your device and the router.
Note: You will be prompted to change the
device password the first time you view the
camera video feed. We suggest that you do

11 Version 2.0
change this to prevent any unauthorized
viewing of your camera. The default password
is 6666.
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,
a factory reset will be required. In order to
factory reset the device, it will most likely need
to be sent to us via an RMA (return
merchandise authorization). If you have any
questions regarding this, please call us at 770-
694-6921.
