1. Power on the camera by connecting the USB connector from the cable into the provided
indoor power supply and then plug into a compatible wall outlet.
2. Wait for the Status LED to turn solid green.
3. Take a supported iOS/iPadOS device — an iPhone/iPod touch with iOS 13.2 or later /
iPad with iPadOS 13.2 or later, and make sure it’s connected to your home’s 2.4 GHz
wireless network that you want to connect the camera to.
4. Launch the Apple Home app on the iOS/iPadOS device from the step above, and tap Add
accessory.
