Set up the Camera on the App

Please follow the steps below to do initial setup for the battery-powered cameras via Reolink App.

Step 1. Power on the camera. Remember to turn on the power switch on the camera before initial setup except for Argus 2 and Argus Pro. After a startup sound, you will hear a repeated Ding sound or a voice prompt.

Note: The voice prompt you will hear may be "Welcome to Reolink, please install Reolink app and scan the QR code on the camera" in multilingual versions, or "please run Reolink app, add the camera and set it up".

Step 2. Tap the icon in the top right corner to start the initial setup.

Step 3. Scan the QR code on the back of the camera. You may tap Light to enable a flashlight when setting up the camera in a dark environment. If the phone doesn't respond, please tap Input UID/IP and then manually type in the UID (16-digit characters under the QR code of the camera). Then click Next.

Step 4. Select Wi-Fi Not Configured. If you hear a voice prompt played by the camera, please tick correspondingly and then tap Next.

Step 5. Enter the WiFi password of the selected WiFi network (you may tap the right eye icon to see and double-check the password) and tap Next.

Note: Argus Eco only supports the WiFi frequency of 2.4GHz.

Step 6. Tap Scan Now. Place the QR code on your phone in front of the camera's lens at a distance of about 30 cm (12 inches) and let the camera scan the QR code.

Tick correspondingly and tap Next.

Step 7. Wait around 60 seconds for the camera to connect to the router. After hearing "connection to the router succeeded", tick correspondingly and tap Next.

Step 8. Create a login password and then name your camera.
