Getting Started
Your camera needs a strong enough signal from
your WiFi router in order to send its video signal.
Here’s how to test it.
First, go to where you want to put the camera.
Make sure your smartphone or other portable
wireless device is connected to the WiFi network
you want to test.
Look at the WiFi icon on your
device screen to see the strength
of the connection. For example,
on iOS devices look in the upper
left-hand corner of the screen for
the WiFi icon (shown here).
For best results, look for a
location with at least 50% strength to use the
camera.
IMPORTANT: This camera works with 2.4GHz WiFi
signals. If you have a dual-band router with separate
2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, make sure your phone is
connected to the 2.4GHz one!
This WiFi Camera Caregiver System
makes it easy to care for your loved
one from virtually anywhere! This
guide takes you through the steps to
get started!
