Method 2: Manual Wi-Fi Configuration
If you have trouble connecting with WPS, or if your wireless router doesn’t support it, you can still connect the camera using the supplied
Ethernet cable. You can choose to use either the SwannEye HD app on your mobile device or the SwannEye HD Pro software on your computer
to manually configure the camera’s wireless settings.
Before you begin:
• Take note of the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password (security key) for your Wi-Fi network for quick reference. You will need these
details when setting up Wi-Fi connection for the camera on the mobile app/software.
• Ensure there is an unused network port (LAN) on your wireless router.
• Ensure the computer/mobile device that you are using to configure access to the camera is on the same Wi-Fi network.
A. Connect to Wi-Fi using SwannEye HD app
1. Connect the camera directly to your wireless router via the Ethernet cable.
2. Plug the camera into an electrical outlet. Wait 1-2 minutes for a connection to be established between the wireless router and the camera.
3. On your mobile device, locate the SwannEye HD app and tap the icon to run the app. Follow the instructions below to configure Wi-Fi
