FAQs I can’t connect or see the camera when I search on Bluetooth? The Ferret camera has a built in WiFi hotspot. No other network is needed, and the camera does not connect via Bluetooth. Can I use the camera underground, underwater or inside a conduit? No, it will not work underground, underwater or inside a metallic conduit as these scenarios will block the WiFi signal.
FAQs I can connect to the WiFi, but it won’t show an image in the App. Go to Settings -> Data usage -> Cellular data usage and scroll down to find and select the Ferret App. Turn off Background data to prevent the App trying to use cellular data. When I try to download the App it asks for a password - why? The Ferret App is free – it will never ask for a password or a code. Your phone sometimes will ask for a password due to your App Store not having a payment method.
