2. Resetting the Camera
To reset the camera, remove the rubber cover to access the reset button. Press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds. The camera will beep 3 times to indicate a successful reset. This is useful for putting the camera into pairing mode, after changing WiFi password or router, or if the camera indicator is not correct.
3. Mounting the Camera
The camera offers flexible installation options, including wall mounting, ceiling mounting, or placement on a table. For wall mounting, use the metal mounting plate to mark screw holes, then drill three holes. Pass a screw through the plastic mounting bracket and the metal plate, ensuring correct orientation. Mount the three screws to the wall, leaving a small gap between the metal plate and the wall. Pass the power cable through the metal plate, adjust the cable length, and tighten all screws. Snap the magnetic mount onto the mounting bracket and screw it clockwise to seal. Finally, attach the camera to the magnetic mount.

Troubleshooting
QR Code Scanning Issues
