Good to know:
Our Portable SmartCam is unable to connect to a WiFi network that has a login web page (EG: Hotel WiFi, public WiFi, Airplane WiFi)
If you are on a campus WiFi, you should ensure you only connect to one access point and forget all other access points
You should make sure your networks firewall is open for the Portable SmartCam. You can read about the required permissions here
Connection process:
Step 1: Open Portable SmartCam Setup menu and connect
Open the 'hamburger menu' in the top left and choose 'Portable SmartCam Setup
Choose the Portable SmartCam you are connecting from the list
Accept/give permission to any first-time-use requests that appear and then press 'OK'
Join your iOS device to the local network of the router by pressing 'Join'
Click on the 'Internet Settings' menu to open the cameras network preferences
You can now:
Select the network you wish to connect to
Enter any relevant password
The router will then configure and connect to this WiFi network
You are now connected to your WiFi network and ready to calibrate
Step 2: Run a speed test
Press 'New +'
Make sure you have selected the Portable SmartCam scene, then press 'Speed Test'
Press 'Start' to begin the speed test. You will get a rating of:
Good - Network strength is good for live upload
Suboptimal - You may encounter delays in upload and live playback
Bad - Will encounter delays in upload and live playback
