Troubleshooting
If the camera does not connect to your WiFi:
- Try resetting it by pressing the reset button (attached to the power cable) and start again.
- Check that Bluetooth is turned on for smart phone/tablet - It wont be able to scan your camera without it.
- Try the QR setup or AP setup modes instead.
- If you have connected it to your internet router, but it shows the message 'Establishing encrypted channel' and doesn't load:
- Try closing the app and re-opening it.
- If that doesn't work, please check what version of app you are using (go to the 'Me' section of the app, then select Settings > About). You will not need to set the camera back up if you do this, it will remain connected to your Wi-Fi router.
