1. Things to Note before Getting Started
1.1 High-speed WiFi Internet Connection
- One critical factor affecting the performance of your UFO camera is the relative
positions of your home WiFi router and the UFO. Set up your UFO in an open
space (DO NOT place it directly on the oor); the closer the camera is to the
router, the stronger the WiFi signal will be, and the better the footage on your
smartphone will be.
- A slow network speed will also affect the performance of your UFO camera. It
is recommended that you have an upload speed of at least 1Mbps or higher per
camera.
- Only 2.4GHz WiFi is supported.
1.2 SSID and Password
- Have your WiFi network name and password handy. The WiFi network name is
normally referred to as the SSID. The password or security ID is normally the next
line or two down from the WiFi/SSID network name.
These can be easily found on your WiFi router if you do not change them when
you rst install the WiFi router, for example:
- WiFi/SSID Network Name: XXXX
- WiFi/SSID Network Password/Security Key: XXXXX
1.3 Operating System Requirements
- iOS 8.0 or above with iPhone 5 or above;
- Android 4.4 or above
