Connecting to a New Network

How to change the WiFi Network of the camera

If you need to change the WiFi network your device is connected to, delete the device from the Brookstone Smart App. Then start the setup process again as if you were adding a new device while connected to the new WiFi Network you want to connect your existing device to. Your device will then remember the new WiFi Network.

Once a WiFi Network has been successfully connected to your device, it will remember it even if you unplug it. So if you want to move it to a different part of your home, unplug it after you have set it up and then plug it in somewhere else in your home, and it will automatically connect to the WiFi.
