Important notes:
1. If the seal labels on the packing box were opened or deformed before
opening, please contact us: (email: [e-mail]).
2. The camera has no built-in battery. Connect camera to a power bank
to run on the go, or connect to USB power adapter for 24/7 running.
3. Make sure to handle the front cap of the camera with care as it is made
of fragile glass. Avoid dropping it on the floor or causing any impact that
could result in breakage.

- 4 -wiwacam.com/support
4. Before using the camera, please perform the Setup Camera as
described in Chapter 2 of this manual.
5. WiFi performance of each camera has been tested before delivery.
However, the WiFi antenna may get impacted during shipping. If you
have any weak WiFi performance problem on the camera you receive,
please contact us for a replacement.
6. In night vision mode, be careful not to have objects too close to the
lens. Objects closed to lens will block the infrared rays or reflect the
infrared rays to the lens. The blocking or reflection will severely
degrade night vision image quality.
7. To achieve better image quality and better night vision, please place
the MW3N Pro camera closer to the edge of the table. If it is positioned
too far away from the table edge, a significant portion of the image may
be occupied by the table itself, and degrade night vision image quality.
We recommend keeping a distance of LESS than 1 inch from the camera
to the table edge for optimal results.
8. The camera uses external surfaces for heat dissipation. So if the
camera feels hot, it is not a cause for concern. The surface material is
heat resistant up to 248°F, so it is safe. Furthermore, the material used
is flame retardant.
9. To improve heat dissipation during operation, make sure that the
side of the main control box without any labels is exposed to the air, not
covered by a table or any other surface.
10. The MW3N Pro prevents rapid switching back and forth between
day mode and night mode. If the camera switches modes frequently
within 1 minute, it will stay in night mode for 30 minutes. Afterward, it
resumes attempting to detect the lighting conditions automatically. If
you see the camera still in night mode when the room is well-lit, simply
wait a few minutes for it to switch back to auto light detection mode.

1 Product Brief
There are two modes of using the camera. Just choose the mode that suits
your needs best.
⚫With the Front Cap Equipped for Better Hiding: By default, the
camera comes with a front cap that is attached to hide the camera lens and
IR LED. This makes the camera less noticeable to people, such as
intruders. However, please note that the night vision quality may be
slightly reduced due to the glass on the cap limiting the amount of light
entering the camera lens.
⚫Front Cap Removed for Better Night Vision: If you require better night
vision quality, you have the option to remove the front cap from the
camera. This will enhance the camera's night vision capabilities.

2. Set up Camera and Connect to WiFi
2.1 Preparation
Please check the following before using your camera for the first time:
✓Your router has a 2.4GHz WiFi (Most 5GHz routers also have a 2.4GHz
WiFi network simultaneously. Therefore, if you have a 5GHz WiFi
network, it should most likely work with the camera as well.)
✓ Connect your smartphone to the target WiFi (the one you want the
camera to connect to).
✓ Put your smartphone and camera close to your WiFi router, within a
radius of max. 9 feet (3 meters) during the installation process (once installation
completed; you can move the camera further away)
✓ You have the correct WiFi password of this WiFi
2.2 Turning on the camera
✓ Connect the camera to the power by standard USB adapter (5V 1A or 5V
2A). Put the Power button to ON.
✓Wait for 40 to 60 seconds, you will see the status LED will flash in red
and blue.
✓If the status LED does not flash in red and blue, please try resetting the

your own password to the camera.

Now, the camera has been added into the app. You can watch the live video.
Tip: You can change the camera settings once the camera is added.
Note1: After the camera has been connected to your WiFi, if the camera has
been powered off, you only need to powered it on (there is no need to set it
up again). After powering on, the camera will automatically reconnect to
your WiFi. This process takes around 1 minute.
Note2: After camera setup, as long as your phone has internet (either via
WiFi or mobile data), you can access the camera video via the app, no
