Step 2: Prepare for Installation

Before you install your indoor or outdoor security camera, it's important to make sure your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Symynelec security cameras are compatible with 2.4GHz networks, which offer a wider range and more stable connections, especially for smart home devices.

  1. Ensure your phone is connected to the correct Wi-Fi frequency.

  2. Once the camera is installed, turn on the light switch to power it up.

Step 4: Camera Ready for Pairing

After turning on the camera, you’ll need to wait for the camera to signal that it’s ready for pairing. Listen for the camera to beep every 15 seconds. This indicates the device is prepared to connect to your Wi-Fi network.

  • If the camera isn’t beeping, you may need to reset the camera. Press and hold the reset button for 8 seconds until you hear a sound indicating that the camera has been reset and is now ready for pairing.

Step 5: Connect the Camera to Wi-Fi

Next, you'll connect your camera to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. This step is essential for enabling the camera to function, allowing you to view real-time footage and receive notifications.

  1. Enter your Wi-Fi password to link the camera to your home network.
  2. The app will then generate a QR code containing the necessary Wi-Fi information.

Step 6: Scan the QR Code

This is one of the most crucial steps in the setup process, as it pairs your security camera with the app. Follow these tips to successfully scan the QR code:

  1. Hold the QR code approximately 8 to 12 inches away from the camera lens.
  2. Ensure you’re in a well-lit environment to improve the camera’s ability to read the code.
  3. Listen for the camera and wait for a beeping prompt, which indicates that the code has been read correctly.
  4. If scanning fails, adjust your phone’s position or tilt the screen slightly to avoid glare, reflections, or high-contrast backgrounds that could interfere with scanning.

Step 7: Finalizing the Connection

After the camera reads the QR code successfully, follow the app’s instructions to complete the setup:

  1. Press the “I heard a prompt” button in the app after the camera beeps.
  2. The pairing process should now finalize, and your camera will be successfully connected to the Wi-Fi.

Troubleshooting Tips for QR Code Scanning

  • Ensure good lighting for the QR scanning process.
  • Maintain a stable distance of 8-12 inches between the camera and your phone when scanning the QR code.
  • If the scanning process continues to fail, try resetting the camera or restarting the app.
