Device Pairing

Version: 20240627

1 Pairing mode

The Wi-Fi camera hardware supports the following pairing modes. The EZ mode and AP mode work the same way on the smart camera as on other smart devices.

Wi-Fi Easy Connect mode (a.k.a. EZ mode)
Wi-Fi access point mode (a.k.a. AP mode)
QR code scanning

It is recommended to choose QR code scanning for its ease of use. If the camera fails to scan the QR code, try using Wi-Fi EZ mode for pairing.

See Device Pairing in the Smart Life App SDK for more pairing modes.

2 Binding mode

There are three binding modes for associating a Tuya-enabled device with a home, each with varying unbinding processes.

Strong binding: A device can only be bound with another account after the previous user removes it from the app.
Medium binding: A device can be bound with another account without the previous user removing it from the app, but a push message will be sent to the home or default group admin of the previous account.
Weak binding: A device can be bound with another account without the previous user removing it from the app.

The smart camera defaults to strong binding mode due to its audio and video streaming and privacy features. Switching to a different binding mode is not allowed. If you do need to change the mode and have assessed the risk, submit a service ticket.
