Is it really impossible to set up my cameras again if I deleted from the app while offline? These are brand new. Is there a reset?
Unfortunately no. It’s a security feature to prevent people from stealing the cam and setting it up as their own, so if the cam was not connected to the base when deleted, it won’t let you add it back to the base.
I agree this was not thought through all that well, and needs more warnings in the app.
Since they are new, you can just return them and get a replacement.
Sorry!
Actually, I was able to connect the cameras to the base with the usb cord then wen through the connection/setup/add process and it worked. Thank goodness.
That is great to hear.
I believe the only requirement is that you would need to ensure you are setting it up on the same account as it is paired with it. If someone else tried, it would not be allowed.
Glad to see you have it worked out.
Can someone guide me thru the same , I removed the camera when it was offline and having trouble connecting
. The post from 2 years ago the poster said he it plugged the cam into the base USB port which as far as I know all that does is provide power to the cam, nothing magical.
You can try though. If you also deleted the base and the cam you will have to set both up again as new devices. On the app home page tap the plus sign top left, add device then find and do the base first as per the set up guide. All information is here on how to set up. Make sure you use the same 2.4GHz network name and password it was originally set up on and that your phone/device is on the same 2.4 network. I have no idea if it will work:
