Please check the following before using your camera for the first time:

2.4GHz band, so it should work if you have a router with 5GHz WiFi support)
✓ Connect your smartphone to the target WiFi (the WiFi you want to connect the camera
to)
✓ Keep your smartphone and the camera close to your WiFi router, within 9 feet (3 meters)
during the installation process (you can move the camera further away after installation)
✓ Ensure you have the correct WiFi password for the network
2.2 Turn on the camera
✓Keep the front cover not attached to the camera.
✓Plug the camera into a power outlet. The status LED will light up, indicating that that the
camera is powered on.
✓Wait for 30 to 40 seconds, the Status LED will flash in red and blue.
✓If the status LED does not flash in red and blue, please try resetting the camera first (See
Chapter 3)
