It has become common practice for network providers to provide dual band networks for their customers. For example MyWiFiNetwork55-2G and MyWiFiNetwork55-5G.

Navigate to Google search from your mobile device, and type in speed test. Click run speed test, your results should display in no more than 30 seconds.

Reset MobiCam

Sometimes MobiCam just needs a quick RESET to get things functioning properly. Located on the right hand side, in the center groove that runs down the middle of MobiCam Multi-Purpose Monitoring System is a small hole labeled RESET. You will need a small pin or paperclip to push this RESET button. You will hear a loud BEEP, MobiCam should reintroduce itself and say "Welcome to MobiCam". If MobiCam does not reintroduce itself, please press the RESET button once more, this time unplug MobiCam for 10 seconds before plugging it back in. The LED light on the front of MobiCam may appears as a yellow color, this color indicates that MobiCam is still resetting. Give MobiCam a few moments to complete the RESET process, the light should begin flashing RED and MobiCam should once again reintroduce itself.

ReInstall MobiCam Application

Sometimes during the download from the app or play store the app can download with a small bug. We recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the app for a quick fix.

MobiCam Not Responding to Sound Wave

MobiCam HDX pairs with your phone by sending a sound wave to establish the wireless network connection. This sound wave should be heard loud and clear. Please ensure that your phone is NOT on silent and that your playback volume is turned up. We recommend locating your phone speakers and facing then directly towards MobiCam HDX, so MobiCam HDX can hear the sound wave clearly. When sending the sound wave avoiding having being in a loud area.
