Step-by-Step Instructions

• Via Reolink App

  Before you start, scan the QR code to download and install the latest version of the Reolink App.

  

  For initial setup, please power on this camera with a DC adapter and also connect the camera to your router LAN port with an Ethernet cable, and then follow the steps to set up your camera. Make sure that your camera and your phone are on the same network.

  Step 1. Tap the icon in the top right corner to start the initial setup.

  

  Note: If you've enabled the Add Device Automatically option on the App's settings page, you can tap this device on the Home page and turn to Step 3 directly.

  Step 2. Scan the QR code on the back of the camera. Alternatively, tap Manual Input and manually type in the UID (the 16‑digit characters under the QR code on the camera). Then tap Next.

   

  Step 3. Create a login password and then name your camera. 

   

  Step 4. Tap the WiFi network you want to join and enter the password of the WiFi network. Then tap Save to save the network configuration.

   

  Step 5. Done! The initialization of your camera is finished.

  

  Note:

  After completing the WiFi setup, please disconnect the Ethernet cable from the camera to verify whether the WiFi connection is working properly.
  If the cable remains connected, the camera will continue to use the wired (LAN) connection instead of switching to WiFi.
  Only after unplugging the cable will the camera rely on the WiFi connection you just configured.

  You can verify the Wi-Fi connection through the camera settings: check the Wi-Fi icon below the device name or the "Wi-Fi" section on the Settings page of the camera.
