Things to note before getting started
--------------------------------------------------------
●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 floor); 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.
●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 did not change them
when you first installed the WiFi router, for example:
- WiFi/SSID Network Name: XXXX
- WiFi/SSID Network Password/Security Key: XXXXX
●Operating system requirements
- iOS 8.0 or above with iPhone 5 or above;
- Android 4.3 or above
●microSD card (no included; to be purchased separately)
- 32GB maximum
