numeric only.
For other set-up problems, please see:
Trouble Shoot Guide #1.

Part B. Troubleshoot Guide
.
1. Set-up failure
99% of the reason for the failure is due to
inputting a wrong WiFi PW at step:#15.
Please reconnect your phone to the camera’s SSID
as step:#5 and try again.
- WiFi password and name can only support the
numbers, characters, symbols, etc. in the ASCII
code table. It only supports the characters and
symbols that can be typed on the English keyboard.
- 5GHz and WEP encryption is not supported.
- Your WiFi router must have internet service.
2. Camera is online only when the phone is in
the same network and offline when using
remotely.
.- Turn the camera OFF and ON so the camera can
reestablish the P2P connection.

3. Remote live view is slow
- Lower the video settings. (see: Using the App #6
and Troubleshoot #5)
- Internet connection may be slow.
- Camera out of range. Place the camera closer to
the router.
- Reboot the camera or unplug power and re-plug
to reestablish Wi-Fi connection.
3.1. Even at low resolution, remote live
remote view is slow and keeps disconnecting.
- Reboot your router to refresh wireless
connectivity.
4. Password error
- If you have changed the PW and can’t remember,
you must reset the camera and setup it up again.
Press-hold the reset button (small round white
button) for about 15 sec while the camera is ON,
and wait until the LED double blink.
- If you have not changed the PW, try the default
PW: admin

5. Poor resolution
- The camera default resolution is set to low (LD)
for a faster connection. Go to the live view and
change the resolution from (LD) to (HD). You can
further adjust the resolution at: Settings Explained.
.
6. Angle of the camera does not cover…
- All SCS WiFI cameras look through a hole for best
picture clarity. 90 deg is the maximum angle for a
pinhole lens. Place the camera near corner of a
room looking towards the center to cover the
whole room.
- Camera lens is permanently fixed and its angle
cannot be adjusted by a user. Please contact us if
you need any custom camera angle.

7. No audio
- As stated on our product description, all spy
cameras sold in Amazon are not equipped audio
function due to the Amazon Policy that is
accordance with the Federal Law. Please call us.
8. No night vision
- Only one model, WF-450IR, comes with built-in
night vision. However, our cameras are equipped
with 940nM filter and will be extremely sensitive
total invisible 940nM IR lamps such as:
Place above item in a room where the camera is
located, then night vision will be accomplished.

8. Android device problems
.
8.1. The App is not found in Google Play or
Play Store
Due to the many different Android system versions,
the app may not be found. Please download the
app file from: www.spycameras.com/iotliving.apk
and install the app manually. You must go to the
app setting and allow it to install an app from an
‘unknown source’.
8.2. Installation step #5 or #9 Fail
Android phones have WiFi setting that will
automatically choose the best internet hotspots
(SSID) for you. These settings will not let you
connect to WiFi Direct devices such as our cameras,
drones, self-cleaning robots etc..
When you choose our camera SSID on installation
step #5, it may seem to connect but in many cases,
will switch right back to your default WiFi network.

Therefore, you will need to go to your WiFi setting
and turn off any settings such as ‘auto WiFi
connect’, ‘avoid bad WiFi connection’ etc.
- If all fails you can still set-up the camera using a
Windows based laptop or a PC.
Please go to:
www.spycameras.com/pc-install.pdf
Then you can simply set your phone to the same
WiFi network and add the camera to the phone
app.You can also manually type in the UID number
and PW to add the camera.

Part C. Important Features
1. Adding camera to multiple devices
Once the set-up is complete, you will be able to
stream video remotely. You can add up to 5
devices (phones) and access the camera
simultaneously. Adding the camera to other
devices does not require a reset. Simply set the
device on the same network and start from
step:#6 through step:#14. You must use the same
camera PW because the PW resides in the camera,
not in the app. In other words, if you change the
camera PW with one device, all other devices
connected must follow the same PW.
.
You can also add the camera to a new device by
manually inputting the camera UID number
(UUUU-xxxxx-..). This method does not require the
device to be at the same network as the camera.

2. Moving and resetting the camera
When the camera is all set up, you can unplug the
camera and move to another room. As long as the
camera is placed within the same network, it will
automatically re-connect to the router.
- You will need to reset and repeat all above
installation steps only for the following:
a. Moving the camera to another network location.
b. When you change the router or router settings
such as WiFi PW, wireless encryption mode etc.
c. If you forget the camera PW.
d. Camera malfunctions.
3. Resetting: While the camera is ON, hold down
the reset button for about 15 sec. and release.
Wait about a minute. When LED starts to double
blink again, reset is complete.

4. LED Indicator Status
- Slow Double Blinking: The camera is in default
mode and ready to be set-up.
- Faint Solid: The camera is connected to a router
- Rapid Blinking: The camera has lost connection to
the router. You must reset the camera and set-up
again.
