- Find a good spot: Choose a place to put your camera where it can see what you want it to.
- Plug it in: Connect the power adapter to the camera and then plug it into a wall outlet.

Add Your Camera: In the app, tap the "+" icon or select "Add Device." Then, Scan the QR code: Your camera should have a QR code or select the model of your Camera.
Power On the Camera: Plug in your camera and wait for about 30 seconds. The camera's LED will start blinking red and green, indicating it's ready to connect.
Connect to the Camera's Wi-Fi: Go to your phone's Wi-Fi settings and look for a network that starts with "Tapo_Cam_XXXX." Connect to this network.
Return to the Tapo app, and it will start searching for the camera. Once found, select your Wi-Fi network from the list and enter the password. Please, connect to Wi-Fi Name: BOATER WIFI password: wireless

Choose a name: Give your camera a name like "Living Room Camera" or "Front Door Camera".
Select a location: Choose where the camera is located.
That's it! Your Tapo camera should now be connected to your Wi-Fi and visible in the Tapo app. You can watch live video, record clips, and set up motion detection.
