Equine Eye connects to a custom app, available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

We've created a step-by-step video to help you connect your camera to the custom app.

Connecting the app to your camera takes seconds and is as easy as:

1. Turn the camera on and wait for 20 seconds until you hear the words ‘welcome to use’.

2. Open the Equine Eye app.

3. Please allow the app to access your location. This is necessary for it to link to your mobile.
4. Press the + button at the bottom center of the screen to add the camera.

5. Select ‘click to configure’ If your camera is turned on, the blue light should be flashing so click ‘next’.

6. To connect the camera to your mobile phone, select the bottom option as indicated.

You will be taken to your phone’s wifi settings. Select the ‘HOW-xx’ network and input password ‘168168168’. Your phone is now connected to the camera’s hotspot.

7. Go back into the app, and return to the ‘Connect your device’ screen.

8. Select ‘Lan Search’ at the bottom of the screen.

9. Select the ‘add’ button.

Your camera should now be live.

You can make the video full screen, and adjust your settings as you desire.

Note: you will be asked to change your password for security reasons.

If you've forgotten your password, you're going to need to reset your camera and select a new password. Resetting your camera is easy:

On your phone -
1. Please delete the existing camera from your app. (trash can symbol under the video screen).
2. Make sure you have the latest version of the app installed.
On the camera -
1. Hold down the 'record' button (next to the power button) so 20 seconds or so until you hear the camera announce it has reset.
2. Turn the camera off.
3. Turn on the camera and go through the pairing process again.

This functionality varies from phone to phone, but on an iPhone with the latest iOS14 update, the app will ask you if you would like wifi enabled at the same time as using the camera connection. If you allow the wifi to remain active, then it will enable functions on your phone requiring internet connectivity (apps like maps) to continue in the background.

On android phones it depends on the model being used as to whether this functionality is enabled.

The battery life of the camera is stated as a range, as a range of factors impact battery life including the amount of activity the camera is processing (ie amount of movement), along with distance the camera is transmitting to your mobile phone, and even the temperature. The cameras have been tested to +8 hours in the best conditions.

There are a number of really simple fixes to most connection issues. Please log a technical support ticket so that we can assist you. The most common issues include:

1. Not allowing the app to access the phone's location during set up, or not having location services turned on. As stated in the user guide, it is critical that the app can access your phone's location - the link is how the two devices communicate.

2. Not having the most up to date operating system installed on your phone. Please ensure both the phone's operating system is current, and the app you are using is the latest version.

3. Trying to use the camera in an gooseneck / truck or extended float. The camera is designed for use in as standard float and unfortunately cannot transmit through the infrastructure of a gooseneck or similar. For this type of set-up you will require a hardwired camera.

4. The wifi link reverting to a home network. Often people test their Equine Eye in their home, which means their phone may auto revert to the preferred network (home) rather than maintain the connection with the Equine Eye. Ask your phone to 'forget' your home network to solve this problem.
