Quick answer

Install the V380 Pro app, power the camera, and wait for its voice prompt. In the app, tap Add device, scan the QR code on the camera, then choose your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and enter the password. If it fails, reset the camera, connect your phone to the camera's own hotspot (named like MV + numbers) and add it from there. Finally, set a strong camera password and format the memory card.

04Frequently asked questions

Why won't my V380 camera connect to Wi-Fi?

Usually 5 GHz Wi-Fi, a wrong password, or weak signal. Use 2.4 GHz and move closer to the router.

How do I reset a V380 camera?

Hold the reset button until you hear the reset voice prompt, then add it again.

Can V380 work without internet?

It can record to the SD card; phone viewing over the internet needs Wi-Fi.
