Setup fails at the WiFi step
Sounds like: “WiFi connection failed” or “SSID failed”
Try this
- Choose your 2.4GHz network, and keep your phone on that same network during setup.
- Do the first pairing indoors near your router. Move the camera out to the coop once it's connected.
- Charge the camera until the light is green before you start.
- Retype your WiFi password carefully. “SSID failed” usually means the password didn't match.
- Double-tap the power button to restart pairing mode, then run setup again in the app.
💡 Good to know: Have 5G home internet? Your provider's app or router settings usually let you turn on a separate 2.4GHz network. Your phone and laptop can stay on 5GHz; only the cameras need 2.4GHz.
