How to Replace WiFi?
If you need to connect your baby monitor camera to a different WiFi network (for example, after changing routers or moving to a new location), you have two methods available:
Method 1: WiFi Switch in App (Recommended)
This is the quickest method that doesn't require re-pairing the camera.
- Open your baby monitor app
- Go to camera settings
- Find the "WiFi Switch" option
- Enter the new WiFi network credentials (name and password)
- Wait for the camera to reconnect to the new network
This method preserves all your camera settings, schedules, and preferences. Use this method when possible.
Method 2: Delete and Re-add Camera
This method requires complete re-pairing but works when Method 1 is not available or fails.
-
Delete the camera from the app
- Open your baby monitor app
- Find the camera in your device list
- Select delete/remove option
- Confirm deletion
-
Connect your phone to the new WiFi
- Make sure your phone is connected to the 2.4GHz network you want to use
- Verify the network name and password
-
Add the camera again
- Follow the standard camera setup process
- Scan the QR code or follow voice prompts
- The camera will connect to the new WiFi network
When using Method 2, you will need to reconfigure all camera settings, including:
- Motion detection zones
- Alert schedules
- Video quality preferences
- Shared user access
Tips for Success
- Use 2.4GHz network: Remember that most baby monitors only support 2.4GHz WiFi
- Strong signal: Ensure the camera location has good WiFi signal from the new network
- Correct credentials: Double-check the WiFi password before entering it
- Reset if needed: If the camera doesn't connect, try factory resetting it first
Troubleshooting
If you're unable to change the WiFi network:
- Try the alternative method
- Factory reset the camera and set it up from scratch
- Ensure the new WiFi network is 2.4GHz
- Check that the router is not blocking the device
