FAQ
1.Q:Camera permission management: How to invite family and friends to use my camera together?

2.Q:Why doesn’t the Wi-Fi name appear when I connect to Wi-Fi?
A: On Apple devices with 10513 and above, you need to turn on the “location permission” for the app in the system settings and change it to “allow when using.”
3.Q:Will the camera show red lights when night vision is activated?
A: The built-in infrared lamp beads make the camera only show some dim red lights when night vision is activated, but the image quality is still clear under no light environment.
4.Q:What are the requirements for Wi-Fi?
A: Please use a 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless network. Meanwhile, please set the Wi-Fi authentication method to WPA2-PSK or other lower level of security method. A password is required.
