anyone can help please?
I managed to get the camera to say connection successful using the smart home app.

However, it prompts an error, make sure the camera are in the same router.
Are there any firewall settings to be configured?


Ignore top. managed to get it connected via another AP using the original wifi app. The smart home app cannot work for this access point. Weird.

Once connected, i can now view using wifi or 4g.


I have the same problem, app prompts an error to make sure the camera is in the same router/network. No alternate AP to use. I managed to "trick" 1 phone to recognise the network by getting another phone as mobile hotspot with same network name and pw, but not another phone. Any solution for this? Is it a camera issue or a router configuration issue?


Also, once connected, how to view using 4g? The live feed seems to disconnect when I switch off wifi on the phone.

use a pin to press and hold the reset button at the back. It should blink after a while.

Phone able to connect to the camera without wifi? Quite meaningless if outside on data/4g cannot work.

yes, can use data plan 3g/4g to access via the app. but might incur quite some data cost!
