Wi-Fi can be set up on your HomeMonitor camera in two ways:

• When you first set up your camera
• After your camera has been added to your account

Before you begin, please ensure that your camera is connected by Ethernet cable to the router and that it is showing a green status light (indicating connection to the internet).

When you first set up your camera:

When you first add your camera to your account, you will have the option to connect it to a Wi-Fi network. Following the onscreen steps allows Automatic Setup of your Wi-Fi. These steps are outlined below:

1. Your HomeMonitor will begin by searching for all Wi-Fi networks in the area
2. All detected Wi-Fi networks will appear in a list
3. Select the Wi-Fi network you would like HomeMonitor to connect to
4. Type in the Wi-Fi password for that network in the Wi-Fi password field
5. Click Connect to Wi-Fi
6. Wait for the Wi-Fi verification to be completed (up to 2 minutes)
7. Remove the Ethernet cable when prompted

After your camera has been added to your account:

If you chose to connect by Ethernet cable when you first set up your camera, you can always connect to Wi-Fi later by heading to Camera Manager and then choosing the Wi-Fi Settings button.
