This quick start guide will help you configure your Beam for
initial use. For detailed instructions and troubleshooting, please

Before you begin:
Place your Beam within range of your wireless router.
Make sure that you have a strong WiFi connection.
Plug Beam into a power outlet, and wait for the LED to
blink green.
Make sure you know the SSID (WiFi network name) and
password of the
2.4GHz WPA/WPA2 WiFi network
that
you want your Beam to extend. Your network cannot be
hidden.
Note:
Beam cannot connect to an SSID with any
space(s) in it. You can replace the space by entering your
router’s settings. For example, “My Router” is not allowed,
but “My_Router” is allowed.
Download and install the “Zmodo” app from Google
Play
TM
or the App Store
TM
. Launch the app and sign up
for a free Zmodo account. All of your devices will be
bound to this account.

If this app interface appears, please
press “Tap here to select WiFi”.
Select the WiFi network that your
Beam will connect to, and connect
to it. Return to the Zmodo app
once your mobile device is connected
to the WiFi network.
The app will automatically search for
your Beam and connect it to the
WiFi network. This may take a few
minutes.
√
Return to the Zmodo app page and
enter the name and password of
the WiFi network that you want your
Beam to connect to. Note: the WiFi
name and password are case-
sensitive.
Tap to proceed.
If you see this screen, the app will
connect your Beam to your WiFi network.
This may take a few minutes. Once it’s
completed, please skip to step 10.
If you do not see this screen, please
proceed to step 7.
√
Your Beam has been successfully
configured! Your Beam will share the
same WiFi network name (SSID)
and WiFi password as your wireless
router. If you change your WiFi
router SSID and password, you will
need to reconfigure your Beam.
Refer to the following pages to see
what your Beam can do.
Name your Beam and set a
password for it. Tap to
proceed.
Note: The password provides an additional
layer of security for your Beam. You will not
need to use this password when accessing
your Beam from the Zmodo app. It is not
required, but it is highly recommended.

Placement Suggestions
The following tips will help you to optimize your Beam’s
performance.
Selecting a location for your Beam:

router.
Place Beam about halfway between your WiFi router
and the farthest point where you would like to extend
the WiFi signal.
Place Beam in a walkway or corridor to utilize the night
light feature.
Avoid a location with electronic appliances that
generate strong magnetic or electric fields, such as
microwave ovens or refrigerators.

heater or candle.
