Tap "Next" and enter your WiFi password on the next screen. Once you 

click "Next", wait for around 2 minutes to give the camera time to connect 

to your WiFi network. If the camera does not connect, we recommend 

using the desktop setup method as outlined on pages 4 & 5.

If you are logging in for the first time, you will be prompted to create a new 

password. Please select a password that is at least 8 characters long, and 

one that uses a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and 

numbers. Note that once the password is changed here, it will take effect 

immediately. If you forget your password, you can always reset your camera 

by touching the green and white reset wires together for 1 minute.
