user name / password keeps getting messed up

Post by kentkallsen »

I have IP2M-841B that I was able to initially get connected using my iphone and my home wifi router. During the process, I changed the password away from admin as requested. After connecting via iphone app I also tried to connect via PC and the IP config tool found the camera but when I tried to login using the new password I set up, it would not let me in and eventually locked me out.

I then did a reset and was able to get relogged in via iphone app. Then while simply exploring the the app, the connection was lost, indicated my user name / password was incorrect and again locked me out.

So far the out of box experience as been lousy. I hope that someone can share a fix to the password issue, because resetting the unit constantly isn't going to cut it.

Anyone?

Thanks, K

Hello,
If you are changing the default password through the phone app, it might be the problem. Please try resetting the cam and then set up the cam on a PC.

Also if you use the phone app, use a password that is not more than six characters and see if that helps.

I went to a 5 character simple password on my iphone app and that seams to have worked.

Hey kentkalisen,

That's great to hear, we're experiencing some reports regarding passwords longer than 6 characters are not being registered on the app, we've submitted a new app to both Android and iOS this past week to fix this issue. The Android app has already been released through a new update, the iOS app should be released sometime this week that will correct this problem.

Hello benzion ,

Go to the device manager from the app menu and click edit and ensure that the you have the correct password for the camera in the app.
