When it comes to home security, the Symynelec indoor security camera offers a powerful and convenient solution. In this guide, we'll walk you through everything from unboxing to setting up and using your camera, ensuring you’re fully equipped to secure your home.

Unboxing the Symynelec C5 Indoor Camera

The Symynelec C5 Indoor Camera arrives securely packaged, ready to use right out of the box. Inside, you’ll find the camera, a USB cable, and a power adapter. Once unpacked, the next step is setting up the camera to start monitoring your home.

Step-by-Step Camera Setup

1.Powering on the Camera
Begin by inserting the provided USB cable into the camera and connect the power adapter. Once powered on, wait about a minute as the camera rotates and emits a startup sound. At this point, the indicator light should begin flashing red, which means the camera is ready for pairing with your mobile device.


2.Installing the Symynelec App
To start, download the Symynelec app from either the App Store or Google Play. Once installed, create an account by registering with your email address. After verifying your email, you’ll be able to log into the app.


3.Pairing the Camera with Your Phone
The pairing process is simple and quick. Start by pressing the option to add a new device within the app. If your camera’s indicator light is not flashing red, press and hold the reset button for 8 seconds until you hear three short beeps, then try pairing again.

4.Connecting to Wi-Fi
Next, you'll be prompted to enter your Wi-Fi password. The app will generate a QR code, which contains your Wi-Fi details. Hold your phone 6-8 inches away from the camera lens so it can scan the code. Once successfully scanned, you’ll hear a voice prompt confirming the connection.

If the camera doesn't immediately scan the QR code, try adjusting the position of your phone or tilting the screen slightly. Ensure there’s no glare or background interference that could distort the code. Once paired, the camera will automatically connect to your Wi-Fi network.
