Enabling Direct Connect

1

Press and hold the 

Direct Connect

 button on the back of the camera for 

at least five seconds. The Cloud LED will start blinking blue, indicating 

the Direct Connect mode is enabled.

2

Connect your mobile device to the 

myBabyCam-xxxx

 Wi-Fi network. (XXXX 

is a 4-digit code, the last 4 digits of your camera’s MAC address.) Use the 

Wi-Fi password you created during the Setup Wizard installation process.

During the initial steps with the 

Setup Wizard

, you configured the camera to connect to your home Wi-Fi network.  If you want to take your camera 

with you, it's not a problem with the DCS-700L.* You can connect directly to your camera, which means there is no need for an Internet connection 

or a router. Follow the steps below to enable Direct Connect.

Note: 

Once you are connected to the camera, you will no longer have Internet 

access.

*You have the option of using a portable USB battery pack (not included) that supplies 5V/2A of power when you take the camera with you. Plug 

the USB battery pack into the Micro USB power port. The Power LED on the bottom of the camera will turn red when the camera is powered on.
