If the QR and ID code are no longer legible, you can connect your Netvue Vigil camera to an Android device using the Smart Link method:
1. Press and hold the button at the end of the camera’s cable until you hear a sound and see the green light flashing. 2. In the Netvue App, select "Smart Link." 3. Wait for the device to play a chime, indicating successful connection. 4. If there is no chime after two minutes, check if you are using a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network, entered the wrong Wi-Fi password, or if the router is too far. 5. Try switching to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network or use a personal hotspot to connect. 6. Once you hear cheerful music, indicating a successful connection, click the green button in the app. 7. Name your device, and it will appear in the Netvue App.

Please add the Vigil Camera onto your Netvue account through Netvue App before mounting it outside. There are two ways of adding Vigil Camera onto Netvue App: Wireless Connection and Wired Connection. Wireless connection Wireless connection uses Wi-Fi to connect the camera to the App. It is the easiest way if the installation spot is close to your router and have a strong Wi-Fi signal.

If the Wi-Fi signal strength is weak at your installation spot, the Ethernet cable connection might be your solution. An Ethernet cable is required for this connection method. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into Vigil Cam, and the other end into the LAN port on your router. Then follow the in-app instruction to complete the following set up process.
