About This OVOLAPTICS Camera Wi-Fi Setup Guide

This quick setup guide is for compatible OVOLAPTICS cameras using the LookCam app and supporting 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi. It covers initial camera setup, connecting to the camera hotspot, connecting the camera to a home Wi-Fi network, changing the default camera password, continuous SD card recording, and motion-triggered recording.

During setup, the camera creates its own Wi-Fi hotspot. Seeing “Unsecured Network” when connecting to this hotspot is normal. To connect the camera to your home network, open LookCam and follow the Wi-Fi setup prompt. If you want to remain in direct AP Mode instead, tap “Cancel” at the Wi-Fi setup prompt.
