    Question

    How do I update the Wi-Fi password on my Imou A1 camera after changing my modem?

    Answer

    To update the Wi-Fi password for your Imou A1 Security Camera after replacing your modem, you must reset the device and perform the setup process again. Follow these steps:

    • Reset the Camera: Locate the Reset/Pair Button on the camera (usually found by tilting the lens upward). Press and hold this button for 10 seconds until the LED indicator turns off or you hear a prompt.
    • Check LED Status: Wait for the LED indicator to flash green, which signifies the camera is in "Waiting for network" mode.
    • Re-configure in the App: Open the Imou Life App on your smartphone.
    • Tap the "+" icon to add a device or select your existing camera to re-link it.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to scan the QR code on the bottom of the camera.
    • When prompted for network details, select your new Wi-Fi name (SSID) and enter the new password.

    Note: Ensure your phone is connected to the 2.4GHz band of your new router, as many cameras do not support 5GHz Wi-Fi.

    Question

    Does the Imou A1 security camera need to be constantly plugged into a power source?

    Answer

    Yes, the Imou A1 Security Camera must remain plugged into a power source constantly to operate. It is not a battery-powered device.

    According to the user guide, the camera is powered via a DC 5V 2A connection. The package includes a specific Power Cable and Power Adapter for this purpose. You can find the power port located on the back of the camera base next to the Ethernet port.

    If the camera is disconnected from the power outlet, it will turn off and stop recording or monitoring.
