Cause 2: Using a 5GHz Wi-Fi Network

GRAN EYE only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.

It cannot connect to 5GHz networks.

How to check?

If the SSID contains 5G, it is likely a 5GHz network.

Cause 3: Using a Guest Wi-Fi Network

Some routers have guest SSIDs.

e.g. Network Guest


Guest networks often restrict device-to-device communication, which prevents the camera from connecting to the app.


Avoid using guest network, and use your main Wi-Fi network.


Once you find any mistake

  1. Correct them

  2. Re-generate the QR code

  3. Re-scan the QR code

*Always reset the camera's Wi-Fi information when re-scanning the QR code.
