This article is applicable to plug-in cameras that support Wireless Wi-Fi Connection. For those that also support Wired Ethernet Connection, see Ethernet Connection for Plug-in Cameras.
Choose Installation Location
1.Before setup, select a suitable location for your camera, ensuring a strong Wi-Fi signal and optimal viewing angle. Keep in mind that the camera requires a power outlet connection for operation, so ensure an outlet is within reach.
Power on and Enter Pairing Mode
2.Connect your camera to the power outlet using the provided cable. Once plugged in, the camera will automatically power on with a startup sound.
3.Wait for the camera to enter pairing mode automatically: After powering on, the camera will perform a pan-tilt calibration. Following this, it will enter pairing mode automatically, indicated by a continuous ‘Ding Dong Ding Dong’ sound.
Note: During the first-time setup, the camera should enter pairing mode automatically. If not, either press and hold the reset button or use the provided pin to poke the reset hole, both located near the MicroSD card slot.
