4. Network Connection (Wi-Fi Setup)
The camera supports 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz Wi-Fi bands (5GHz Wi-Fi is not supported) and Ethernet connectivity. For wireless setup, follow these steps:
- Download the App: Search for the official TENVIS app on your smartphone's app store (available for iOS and Android).
- Account Registration: Open the app and register for a new account or log in if you already have one.
- Add Device: Follow the in-app instructions to add a new device. The camera utilizes 'Sound Wave Smart Connection' for easy Wi-Fi configuration.
- Listen for Beep: During the setup process, the camera will emit a series of beeps. Wait for a distinct, longer beep that signals the camera is ready for Wi-Fi connection. Attempting to connect before this specific beep may result in an error.
- Complete Setup: Once the camera is connected, you can name it and begin monitoring.
For advanced users or PC setup, you can find the camera's IP address on your router's connected devices list (look for 'IPCAM'). Access the camera's web interface by typing its IP address into a web browser. The default login credentials are 'admin' for both username and password. It is highly recommended to change these default credentials immediately after initial setup for security purposes.
