Processing Steps of Anran Camera and Wi-Fi connection failure

Please make sure you are using 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. In our experience, most users fail to connect the WI-Fl because of selecting 5GHz Wi-Fi and
adding the camera incorrectly.

Make sure you use the correct Wi-Fi password and a fast Wi-Fi network.(Note: It requires that the Wi-Fi password doesn’t have special characters such as (/l!@#$))
Make sure the QR code on the phone screen is normal and the distance between the phone and the camera lens is 10-15cm (3.9-5.9inch) during the scanning process.
If none of the above steps take effect, please try to re-download the APP, restore the product to factory settings, restart the router, and then add it again.
After multiple attempts have failed, please contact customer service
