Smile Testing your wifi camera for connectivity

Sorry for jumping in..

Make sure that you can ping your camera from a command prompt on your PC..

If you dont know the IP address of the camera, check your router logs to see what is connected.

If that doesnt help, using command prompt again, type ARP -a command.
Ping your network using a broadcast address, i.e. "ping 192.168.1.255". After that, perform "arp -a" to determine all the computing devices connected to the network.

On your wifi cam, you will see the MAC address on a label, just look for it in the tables that the commands above generate.

Then, just use a tool like IP Cam viewer (Google Store) to auto add the device and view/test.

Good luck
