Fail to add the Indoor Cam? Find a solution here.

There are some possible issues that can cause the SwitchBot Indoor Cam fail to be added to the SwitchBot account. Please refer to the situations below and find a proper solution.

Check the network 

1. The network signal may be weak, try moving the SwitchBot Indoor Cam and your phone closer to the router.

2. The SwitchBot Indoor Cam supports 2.4GHz network only. It does not support 5GHz network. (We can log in to the router management page to check this out or consult the router's vendor for support. )

3. The network may be unstable. Please check the network status. (We can visit ​bandwidthplace.com to test the network status. It is stable when download and upload speeds are greater than 1Mbps.)

Check the QR code

1. When scanning the QR code, please make sure the screen is clean and clear. Nothing should be blocking the way between the QR code and the camera.

2. Please adjust the screen brightness to the fullest to have the camera better recognize the QR code.
