What should I do if I fail to connect the camera for the first time or to a new WIFI/router?

If you are having trouble connecting your camera to Wi-Fi for the first time or to a new Wi-Fi network, follow these steps:

1. Check WIFI Compatibility:
- Ensure that your camera supports the WIFI frequency of your router. If your camera only supports 2.4GHz WIFI and your router is dual-band , Please temporarily disable the 5GHz WIFI during the setup process.
Open it again after the camera connection.
(If your camera supports 5GHz WIFI, please skip this step.)

2. Firewall Settings:
- If your router has a firewall enabled, temporarily disable it during the camera setup process. Once the camera is successfully connected, re-enable the firewall and add the camera's MAC to the whitelist for future connections.
