Set up the camera

• Click the “Add device” in the APP or click on the + sign in the upper right corner, and select add new camera.

*Long press the power button for more than 3s to power on the device. You can continue to add your camera until you heard Ding Dong Ding Dong sound. If you do not hear the Ding Dong tone, please double click the power button.

• Enter the Wi-Fi network name and password that you want the camera to connect.

Before you start the Wi-Fi configuration, please note below: ® The Battery camera works with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, but not with 5 GHz Wi-Fi.

@ Avoid using special characters or symbols like (@~!#$°%o^A&* …, in your Wi-Fi name or password.

® Perform the configuration near your Wi-Fi router.

After completion, click “Next Step” to generate the QR code for pairing the camera.

• Target the camera at the QR code of the mobile APP, with a distance of about 20cm (about 7 inches) until the camera emits a “Di” sound, which represents the scanning is succeeded and the pairing is started.

• After a while, the camera will give out a prompt sound of a successful connection. At this moment, please set the name for the device on the APP and select the location you want to place the device. Click “Done” to complete the pairing.

o Possible problems with binding:

When you hear the “Wi-Fi Password Error”, please check whether the Wi-Fi password you entered in the App is correct.

• When you hear the “Authentication error”, please ensure that your Wi-Fi network is not an enterprise-level network, and the device supports only the network with the security level below WPA-2.
• When you hear the “Wi-Fi not found”, please check whether you select or enter the correct Wi-Fi name, and place the device near the Wi-Fi router and ensure that the router is powered on. Please note that 5Ghz Wi-Fi can’t be searched by the device.
• When you hear the “Retrieving IP timeout”, it indicates that the number of devices connected to the router in your home is too many to connect more devices. Please remove some of the connected devices that are not commonly used or restart the router to clear the unconnected devices. You may need to contact the router administrator.
• When you hear the “Cloud service connection fail”, please check whether your router is connected properly to the external network. When you hear this error prompt, it is common on the condition of network disconnection or that the selected router in your home is a local area network server. Please ensure that the network connection is normal, and try to temporarily turn off the firewall to connect again.
