6.3 SETTING UP WIFI
To enable your camera to connect to your network without the use of the Ethernet
cable, you will need to give it access to your router’s WiFi signal.
Clicking on the camera’s icon will take
you to that camera’s page where you
can configure sharing, change the
camera’s name, and select which WiFi
network it connects to.
Click on
WiFi
and

to begin
the wireless connection process.

It may take a few seconds for the WiFi
list to populate depending on your
connection speeds. Select the desired
network, remembering that you will
want to use the one with the best
signal in the area that your camera will
be operating in.
Enter the password for that network
and click
Submit
.
Wait at least half a minute before disconnecting the camera from the Ethernet
cable. The camera will then attempt to connect to the network via the WiFi. The
green connection LED on the back of the camera will flash until it obtains a con-
nection after which it will shine continuously.
You may now move the camera to its new location at this time. The camera will
again attempt to reconnect wirelessly once you’ve plugged its power cord back in.
6.4 USING YOUR CAMERA
With the exception of the direct links to share with social media (those are on your
computer, after all), the functions available on the mobile eView apps are repeated
on the web application. The computer-based program also allows you to view up
to four cameras at the same time - whether they’re yours or shared by someone
else.

IMPORTANT!
When you share a camera, you are letting someone else
see video from it. If you have turned on audio, they can hear what’s
going on as well. While they cannot use the microphone function, or
share access with other accounts, they can take screen shots and record video, so
discretion is strongly advised when placing and sharing a camera.
