Connect Your Camera to WiFi

Scan one QR code, join the camera's network, and enter your WiFi — no app required.

WiFi network
CurrentSituation
open network — no WiFi password

1 Join the camera's setup network

  1. Plug in your camera controller and wait about 1 minute for it to start up. When it can't find WiFi, it creates a temporary setup network named CurrentSituation.
  2. Scan the QR code with your phone's camera — it will offer to join the CurrentSituation network. Tap to join.
No QR scanner? Open your phone's Settings → WiFi and tap CurrentSituation in the list.

2 The setup page opens automatically

Once your phone joins the CurrentSituation network, the WiFi setup page should pop up on its own. Your phone may call this “Sign in to network” or show a login banner — tap it if it doesn't open by itself.

Didn't open? Open your web browser and go to http://192.168.4.1. Make sure you're still connected to the CurrentSituation network first.

3 Enter your WiFi details

  1. Type the Setup Password — this is the Device ID / serial number printed on the controller's label and on the sheet that came in the box.
  2. Pick your venue's WiFi network from the list and enter its WiFi password.
  3. Tap Save. The controller restarts (about a minute), joins your WiFi, and the CurrentSituation setup network disappears.

Your camera will appear online in your dashboard within a couple of minutes.

Phone-specific tips
Android
  1. Open the Camera app (or Google Lens) and point it at the QR code, then tap Join network CurrentSituation.
  2. When your phone warns the network has no internet, choose to stay connected — that's expected during setup.
  3. Tap the “Sign in to network” notification to open the setup page.
  4. If nothing appears, open Chrome and go to 192.168.4.1.
Works in any browser — no app to install.
iPhone / iPad
No app needed anymore. The old Bluetooth method required a separate iPhone app — this WiFi method works straight from the Camera app and Safari.
  1. Open the Camera app, point it at the QR code, and tap Join “CurrentSituation” Network.
  2. The setup page usually opens by itself. If iOS asks to keep using a network with no internet, choose to stay connected.
  3. If the page doesn't open, open Safari and go to 192.168.4.1.
Setting up more than one camera? Do them one at a time. Every controller in setup mode uses the same CurrentSituation network name, so your phone can't tell two apart. Finish one — its setup network disappears once it joins your WiFi — then power on the next.
