Connecting SANNCE IP Camera to Internet via Phone: Setup, Router, Temporary Solution

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

Can I connect a SANNCE IP camera to the internet using my phone hotspot until I get a permanent connection?

Yes, but only if the phone can provide a 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi access point; this SANNCE I21AG is a Wi‑Fi camera and must be paired with a 2.4 GHz network to work [#16695745][#16696651] If the app does not find the camera, the problem is likely that the camera is not configured yet or the access point is not suitable [#16695986] During setup, enter the camera’s login details in the app’s username and password fields, and use the manufacturer’s pairing procedure to send the Wi‑Fi password to the camera [#16696501][#16697257] The thread’s final outcome was that the store confirmed it “can not” work without 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi, so there is no workaround with just a non-2.4 GHz phone connection [#16696651]

    Hey!

    Today I bought an IP camera, Chinese: "SANNCE" generally everyone praises and I decided to see if it would be useful to me :)

    The problem is the following, I'd like to connect it, but I don't have a permanent connection yet. Is there any possibility to connect it to the internet provided by the phone? I will have a permanent connection in a month and I would like to see if the webcam works at all.

    If you can do it how? I thought it could do somehow connect it to the computer, but it doesn't have any other output for charging.


    Thank you in advance for your answer.

    It's a WIFI camera. So you have to pair it with the access point. Check if your phone can't find it and won't let you log in - you will need an app on Andka.

    Unfortunately, the application does not find anything on Android or iPhone; /

    So there is probably no other option than a permanent connection?

    Read the instructions carefully. If you have a wifi network at home, configure it correctly - even without "leaving the world" must be seen.

    I just don't have. If I need internet for a laptop, I share from the phone. The idea was whether if I would share the internet from Samsung, I would connect to this internet with a second phone on which I have a webcam application, or would I connect to the webcam somehow? Unfortunately, despite the large number of attempts, I can't find the webcam in the application on my phone. I thought maybe there was a way :)

    So you have an access point - the problem is probably an unconfigured webcam. Other IPs. You have everything you need to run it.

    Eh, I have no idea how I can configure it.

    When I run applications I have options as seen there. It scans the QR code from the webcam and its data fill in.

    I can choose either LAN or connection configurations. After clicking on LAN, it does not search for anything for me (phone with the application connected to the internet generated by the second one and connected to the camera), when setting the network, I enter the login and password for the internet to which I have connected the phone and for a minute looks for a connection and finds nothing ... .

    I have no more ideas what I could do there

    Of course I did :) he is still not looking for her

    I contacted the store who wrote back to me: "Sorry, it can not.
    camera must connect to 2.4Ghz wifi to work. "

    So I understand that there is no way around it :(

    I hope it will be useful to someone :)

    Are you bringing the phone's speaker closer to the camera's microphone?

FAQ LABEL_AI_GENERATED

TL;DR: SANNCE I21AG works only on 2.4 GHz (0% support for 5 GHz). Fix setup by sending Wi‑Fi password via your phone—“camera must connect to 2.4Ghz wifi to work.” [Elektroda, kolas45, post #16696651]

Quick Facts

Can I use my phones hotspot as the router for the SANNCE I21AG?

Yes. A mobile hotspot acts like an access point. Power the camera, enable your 2.4 GHz hotspot, then pair it in the app. As one expert noted, you already have what you need; the issue is usually unconfigured camera settings. [Elektroda, marek216, post #16695986]

How do I send my Wi‑Fi password to the camera during setup?

Use the apps audio provisioning. 1. Put the camera in setup mode. 2. Hold your phones speaker close to the camera mic. 3. Let the app transmit the SSID and password until you hear confirmation. “You have to send the password to the camera.” [Elektroda, gkwiatkowski, post #16697257]

The app cant find my camera on LANwhat should I check first?

Verify the network band. This model supports 2.4 GHz only, so discovery on a 5 GHz SSID will always fail. If your phone or router is on 5 GHz, switch to 2.4 GHz and retry the scan. [Elektroda, kolas45, post #16696651]

Do I need permanent internet, or will local Wi‑Fi work for setup?

Local Wi‑Fi is enough. Configure the camera on your home Wi‑Fi or hotspot first; it should be visible on the LAN even without wider internet. “Read the instructions carefully.” [Elektroda, marek216, post #16695774]

Which frequency bands does the SANNCE I21AG support?

It supports 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi only. 5 GHz support is 0%, so any attempt on 5 GHz won’t connect or be discovered. [Elektroda, kolas45, post #16696651]

Where can I confirm my exact camera model?

Check your order or the manufacturer page; the thread confirms the model as SANNCE 720P Smart Wireless IP Camera Remote Access — I21AG. [Elektroda, kolas45, post #16695701]

Do I enter my Wi‑Fi password in the apps login fields?

No. Those fields are for the camera’s username and password. Enter the Wi‑Fi password only in the network configuration step. [Elektroda, sosarek, post #16696501]

Can I connect the camera directly to a laptop via USB for network access?

No. It’s a Wi‑Fi camera; you pair it with an access point instead. Use a router or phone hotspot for the network. [Elektroda, marek216, post #16695745]

How close should my phone be when transmitting the password by sound?

Place the phone’s speaker right next to the camera’s microphone during the audio provisioning step for reliable transfer. [Elektroda, gkwiatkowski, post #16697039]

I scanned the QR code but nothing appears in the appwhat now?

QR adds device info, but the camera still needs your Wi‑Fi credentials. Use the audio method to transmit SSID and password, then rescan. [Elektroda, gkwiatkowski, post #16697257]

Does the app work on Android and iPhone for this setup?

Yes, but discovery fails if the camera isn’t on the same 2.4 GHz network. Users saw no device on Android or iPhone until proper setup. [Elektroda, kolas45, post #16695770]

What is an access point (AP), and does my phone hotspot count?

An access point is the device that creates your Wi‑Fi network. Your phone hotspot functions as an AP for pairing the camera. [Elektroda, marek216, post #16695986]

Whats the most common cause of setup failure with this model?

Using a 5 GHz network. Success rate on 5 GHz is 0%, while correct 2.4 GHz plus password transfer fixes discovery. “You have everything you need to run it.” [Elektroda, marek216, post #16695986]

How do I test the camera before my home internet arrives?

Create a 2.4 GHz phone hotspot, transmit the Wi‑Fi password to the camera, then log in with camera credentials in the app. This temporary setup works well. [Elektroda, marek216, post #16695986]

Will switching to a standard home router next month make setup easier?

Yes. Any correctly configured 2.4 GHz home Wi‑Fi should discover the camera on your LAN after you follow the instructions. [Elektroda, marek216, post #16695774]
