How to Add Your Plug-in Camera via QR Code

Quick Setup Overview

• Power on the camera
• Enter pairing mode
• Use the app to scan QR code
• Complete final configuration

Connection Methods

There are two ways to add your plug-in camera to the app:

• Bluetooth Connection (Recommended): Automatically detects the camera and transfers 2.4GHz/5GHz 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. Power on the Camera

• Connect the power adapter to the camera and plug it into a wall outlet.
• The device will power on automatically.

2. Enter Pairing Mode

2.1 First-Time Pairing

• When powered on for the first time, the camera automatically enters pairing mode.
• You’ll hear “Ding Dong Ding Dong”, indicating it’s ready to be added in the app.

2.2 Re-Pairing (Previously Connected Device)

If the camera was previously paired, it won’t enter pairing mode automatically. To activate pairing mode manually:

• Hold the Reset button for 5–10 seconds.
• If the button is recessed, use the provided reset pin or a paperclip.
• When pairing mode starts, you’ll hear “Ding Dong Ding Dong”.

3. 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.

4. Final Configuration

After the QR code is successfully scanned, then 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.
