How to Add Your Light Bulb Camera via QR Code

Quick Setup Overview

• Install the camera in a light socket
• Power on the camera
• Enter pairing mode
• Use the app to scan QR code
• Final configuration

Connection Methods

Before proceeding, note that there are two ways to add your camera to the app:

• Bluetooth Connection (Recommended): Automatically detects the camera and transfers Wi-Fi credentials via Bluetooth.
• QR Code Connection (Backup): Use this if Bluetooth fails or your phone doesn't support Bluetooth.

This article focuses on the QR code setup method.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Choose a Light Socket

• Use a standard E27 or E26 socket (110V–240V)
• Avoid dimmer-controlled sockets, as they may interfere with power supply
• Choose a location near your 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi router for better signal

Note: Check the user manual for model-specific voltage or socket requirements

2. Power on the Camera

• Turn off power to the socket before installation
• Screw the light bulb camera into the socket securely
• Turn the socket back on—the camera will automatically turn on

3. Enter Pairing Mode

3.1 First-Time Pairing

When powered on for the first time, the light bulb camera automatically enters pairing mode.

• You’ll see a flashing blue light.
• You’ll hear “Ding Dong Ding Dong”, indicating it’s ready to be added in the app.

3.2 Re-Pairing (Previously Connected Device)

If the light bulb camera has been paired before and you're reconnecting it again, it won’t enter pairing mode automatically.

To manually enter pairing mode:

1. Press and hold the Reset button (located near the MicroSD card slot) for 5–7 seconds.
2. Release when you hear the “Ding Dong Ding Dong” sound.
3. The blue light will start flashing, confirming it’s ready to connect.

4. Connect via QR Code in the App

• Open the app.
  • If this is your first time adding a device, tap “Add Camera Now” on the home screen.
  • If you’ve added devices before, tap the “+” icon in the upper-right corner and choose “Add a new device.”
• On the “Turn on the device” screen, make sure the camera is powered on and in pairing mode.
  Once you hear the startup sound — a repeated “Ding Dong Ding Dong” — tap “I heard the sound”, then tap “Next Step.”
• On the “Choose your device” screen, if your camera is not listed, tap “Other connection methods.”
• On the “Choose a device connection method” screen:
  • Select “Connect via Wi-Fi”, then tap “Continue”
• On the “Select Wi-Fi for the device” screen:
  • Enter your 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi name and password
  • Tap “Next Step”
• A confirmation pop-up will appear:
  • Tap “Confirm” if the Wi-Fi info is correct
• You’ll see a QR code on screen. Hold your phone 15–25 cm in front of the camera lens.
• When scanned successfully, you’ll hear a “beep”. The app will display “Connecting...” as it finalizes the setup.

5. Final Configuration

• After the QR code is successfully scanned, it will automatically jump to “Set a name and location for the device”
  • Enter a name and choose a location, then tap “Next Step”

You’ll see “Device added successfully”, then:

• If you need to add more cameras, tap “Add another device” to repeat the setup process.
• If you tap “Let’s start” to go through the installation guide. On the next screen, the app will check signal quality:
  • If signal is good, tap “Next Step”
  • Follow each step of the on-screen installation guidance
  • Tap “Finish” to complete setup

You’ll then return to the Home screen, and the device is ready to use.
