- Open the app and tap the camera added on the SAFY Direct app.
- Read the on-screen information that follows. You will be asked to allow access and connect to the Wi-Fi.
- On your phone's settings, look for the SAFY Direct app to check permissions. Allow permission to Photos, Local Network, and Wireless (Cellular) Data.
- Press the back button and go to the Wi-Fi.
- Locate the WiFi SSID of the SAFY dashcam and enter the default password 12345678.
- Once connected, go back to the SAFY Direct app.
- You will see a "Connected successfully" text at the bottom of the camera name (WiFi SSID). Click on that area to proceed to the next step.
- Tap the Settings button located at the upper right corner of the screen to reveal the menu.
- Select Advanced Settings > Set Wi-Fi Password.
- Enter the existing password and set the new password. Press OK to confirm the changes.
There are two options to confirm the new password.
OPTION 1: After saving the new password, you can tap the Wi-Fi Info option under Settings to see the new password.
OPTION 2: You can check it from the dashcam. Press the right-most button to display the menu. Go to Systems Settings > Wi-Fi hotspot to see the new password.
NOTE: Changing the password will require re-authorization to the camera when connecting to it again for the first after Wi-Fi password change.
The left screen will appear on the app and you have to press the right-most button of the dashcam to confirm the re-authorization. The app will then connect to the camera and display the live view screen.
