That's easy: If you want to create a password: 1. Click CONFIRM (middle button to select it) 2. Enter a memorable number using the three buttons on the top. 3. Then click CONFIRM. NOTE: You don't need the password to use the device, just to access it remotely on your phone. And you can reset it at any time (like if you forget the password) within the device settings (the cog symbol) in the main menu. If you don't want to set a password just click CANCEL, or wait a moment. But it will ask you again when ever you switch the device on. I know it's a bit annoying but it's a new 2024 bit of legislation that applies to every new electronic device (from camera doorbells to mobile phones and internet connected fridges) to prevent anyone else access it remotely via the internet.
@@thomasjacksltd Hi there, I'm having the same issue. I switched the Wi-Fi on the in device and the hotspot link appears on my phone (with the model name). The manual tells me the password is 12345678 but that says incorrect. Also when I open the app, there is no prompt to enter anything, it just says connection failed. I went to reset the password in the device and it accepted 1-8 as the old password and confirmed a new password, but that also didn't connect when I tried to enter the new password. Any tips would be appreciated!
Thank you for your quick reply. Have managed it now and connected to phone. It was just knowing you have to press the middle button first, select a number and press again before moving on. Thank you.
@@kathrynsheridan8020 I've just tested it for you here to check I get this right. Try this On the device. Go into settings (cog) 1. Reset password- This will create the default PW of 12345678. 2. Turn Wifi ON On your mobile. 1. Go to wifi networks in settings and select the network that corresponds to your device (it'll be a long number that will include the model of your device) 2. Enter the PW: 12345678 3. Then open the Pixfra app 4. Enter the PW in the app: 12345678 and click confirm. I got in first time but persevere in case there's some wifi interference where you are.
@@thomasjacksltd Hi, thanks for getting back so quickly. Those were the steps I was following and it wasn't allowing me to connect to the network. However, I connected the camera to a pc with the cable and since doing that it appears to have connected to the app. Thanks for your help.
