Adding Cameras; Setting Up Wifi - Q-See EasyView QN6401X User Manual

5.2 ADDING CAMERAS

Once you have logged into your account and installed the needed software, you
may add cameras for viewing.
Click on the Add New Cameras button
to begin. Your camera must be con-
nected to your network and online as
described in Chapter 3.
Since you cannot scan the QR code on
the back of the camera into the web
application, you will need to enter the
ID number printed below it into the area
marked Camera ID. While you can pick
a generic name, if you plan on adding
more cameras or sharing this one, a
unique name will help you - or those
you're sharing with - easily select the
right camera. Camera names may only
consist of letters, numbers and the
underscore "_" character.
Click Submit to enter your information and return to the MyCameras window.
To begin viewing your camera's video, simply click on it. There will be a brief delay
while the computer, network and camera communicate to deliver the video feed to
your desktop.
Cameras with names shown in green are online and available for viewing. Those
with names in red are offline and cannot be accessed.
If you wish to operate your camera using WiFi, please proceed to the next section.
Operating instructions for the camera are in the next chapter.

5.2 SETTING UP WIFI

To enable your camera to connect to your network without the use of the Ethernet
cable, you will need to give it access to your router's WiFi signal.
Clicking on the camera's icon will take
you to that camera's page where you
can configure sharing, change the
camera's name, and select which WiFi
network it connects to.
Click on WiFi and Firmware to begin the
wireless connection process.
It may take a few seconds for the WiFi
list to populate depending on your
connection speeds. Select the desired
network, remembering that you will
want to use the one with the best
signal in the area that your camera will
be operating in.
Enter the password for that network
and click Submit.
Wait at least half a minute before disconnecting the camera from the Ethernet
cable. The camera will then attempt to connect to the network via the WiFi. The
green connection LED on the back of the camera will flash until it obtains a con-
nection after which it will shine continuously.
You may now move the camera to its new location at this time. The camera will
again attempt to reconnect wirelessly once you've plugged its power cord back in.
Operating instructions are in the next chapter.
