- Download App: Search for and download the "CamHi" app from the Apple App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android).
- Add Device: Open the CamHi app and follow the on-screen instructions to add your camera. This typically involves scanning a QR code on the camera or manually entering its ID.
- Wi-Fi Setup (After LAN Connection): Once the camera is added and connected via LAN, navigate to the Wi-Fi settings within the CamHi app. Select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password. After successful configuration, the camera will reboot and connect wirelessly.
Note: This camera does not work with Mac OS.
