Connecting to a New Network

How to change the WiFi Network of the camera

If you need to change the Wi-Fi network the device is connected to, first delete the device from the Brookstone Smart App. Then, restart the setup process as if adding a new device, ensuring your phone is connected to the new Wi-Fi network you intend to connect the camera to. The device will then remember the new Wi-Fi Network.

Once successfully connected to a Wi-Fi Network, the device will remember it even if unplugged. You can move the camera to a different part of your home; after plugging it in, it will automatically reconnect to the Wi-Fi.
