Weak Wi-Fi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poor Wi-Fi or a wireless network that has dozens of different devices using it at once will make it difficult to connect your security camera to your phone. Try moving the camera so it is closer to the router and disconnecting\/disabling unused devices. For weak Wi-Fi, reducing quality settings will be necessary to view live feeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Brightness causing issues with QR code scanning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Direct sunlight or other sources of light can make it difficult to scan QR codes to connect security cameras to phones. Experiment with lighting in real life as well on the phone itself, reducing or increasing brightness as necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. The phone is connected to a different wireless network<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many security cameras will only pair to a phone that is on the same wireless network as it is. If that\u2019s the case, make sure they are both connected to the same router when pairing, and double check that the phone isn\u2019t using mobile data instead of Wi-Fi to connect to the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span><strong>FAQ<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>How do I connect my video camera to my phone?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Connect a video camera to a phone by downloading the camera manufacturer\u2019s app from the App Store or Google Play Store. If there isn\u2019t one, it may be possible to use a third party app so long as the camera has internet-enabled features. But it\u2019s always recommended to use official applications, as it could prove risky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>How do you pair a security camera?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pairing a security camera to an app usually happens by scanning a QR code with the camera\u2019s lens, or by connecting to it as a wireless network on the phone. It might also pair via Bluetooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>How can I view my security cameras online?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Download the camera\u2019s app from the App Store or Google Play Store, sign up for an account, and tap \u2018add device\u2019.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow onscreen instructions to pair the device.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure the camera is connected to a wireless network and that the phone is also connected to it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-bb78e604fedae0ff84239f9c8ac9e79d\">Connecting a security camera to a phone gives you easy automation, push notifications, and 24\/7 access to your camera feeds from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-10983605e43e01ec2ce448e76c4b07fb\">Looking for a new <a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/wireless-security-cameras\/\">wireless security camera<\/a> ready to connect to your phone?
