Setting up a wildlife camera in the app
To set up and access the wildlife camera from the app, you must be within 10 meters of the camera! Make sure to activate
the Bluetooth and WLAN functions on your smartphone.
Then open the app on your smartphone. After the start screen, the selection window for the camera(s) will appear. If a
camera has not yet been set up, click the plus sign on this screen to add a new wildlife camera to the app.
If cameras have already been added, the selection window will display icons for those cameras instead of the plus sign. If
you want to add another camera, select the “Add” option at the bottom of this selection screen.
The camera setup wizard will now open. Using the “Pair” option, the app will search for available wildlife cameras and will
display a list of all cameras in the area around you. Select the camera you wish to pair by tapping on its name. As long as no
name has been assigned to the camera, the camera will be displayed here as “WildCam-XXXX”, otherwise with the name of
the camera already assigned. Confirm your selection with “Next”. To establish the Bluetooth connection between the
camera and the smartphone, enter the Bluetooth password.
This is identical to the WiFi password. You can find the password in the “WiFi password” option in the camera's menu. The
factory default password is “12345678”. After entering the password, tap on “Connect”.
The Bluetooth connection between your smartphone and the camera is established and confirmed in the following screen.
Tap on “Next”.
The next step is to establish a WiFi connection to your camera. Tap on “Connect” in the new setup window and then tap on
“Device Settings” on the screen that follows.
The “Connection” menu on your phone will now open and show you all available WiFi networks. Select the “WildCam-
XXXX” network. If you have already assigned a new name to the camera via the menu, the camera's network will be
displayed with that name.
This procedure refers to setting up the camera with an iOS operating system. With an Android system, the smartphone
automatically connects to the camera's WiFi network.
When the WiFi connection between the wildlife camera and the smartphone has been established, please switch back to
the app. The connection is now confirmed by the app. Click on “Next”. The selection window of all connected cameras will
appear. To connect more cameras to the app, click “Add” on this page.
To access a desired camera, select the image representing the camera. The options screen will open and display the current
status of the camera. You will see the currently selected “Capture Mode”, current “Battery Status” and the remaining free
space on the memory card. You will also be offered the options “Overview”, “Media”, “Settings” and “Disconnect Camera”.
Overview
Tap on the “Overview” option in the options screen. The overview page will open. Here, you can see the current capture
settings of your wildlife camera, as well as information on the battery status, memory card, and the photo and video
resolution settings. You cannot change any settings here. This page is only used to provide you with a clear overview of this
information. To exit the “Overview” option, tap on “Back” in the top left corner.
Media
The “Media” option gives you access to the photos and videos that have been recorded by the camera. You can choose
from a selection of photos and videos that can be downloaded via WiFi from the camera to your phone.
Tap on “Media” in the Options screen. The media gallery will now open. At the bottom of the display, you can choose to
view your photos or Videos .
Using the symbol, you can choose between image preview and list. To select the files that you wish to download or
delete on your phone, tap on each file. Using the symbol, you can select or deselect all of the files you wish to download
