Hotspot connection user guide (UBox)

The hotspot connection mode only works for B/E series cameras produced before 2025. It does not work for the F series or the latest B/E series.

Even for older devices, we strongly recommend connecting them to a stable 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network instead of using this hotspot connection mode. These cameras are designed to function as Wi-Fi security cameras for reliable performance.

For devices that support this function, you can use it when Wi-Fi is not available, but it is not intended for long-term use.

  1. Please insert a micro SD card (up to 128GB) into the camera when it's powered off. The micro SD card is necessary to store videos without Wi-Fi.

  2. Turn on the camera and wait for 30 seconds (booting up). If the camera keeps flashing blue, it's in the Wi-Fi connection mode and needs to be reset into the hotspot connection mode.

  3. If the camera's indicator flashes red (indicating the hotspot connection mode), please skip this step.

    Reset to the hotspot connection mode:

    • Press and hold the reset button for about 8 seconds.

    • When the indicator light turns purple for the first time (both blue and red lights on), the camera is reset into Wi-Fi mode.

    • When the light turns purple for the second time, the camera is reset into hotspot mode.

    • Release the button immediately when you see the purple light for the second time.

  4. Set up the camera with a hotspot connection:

    • After the reset, the light will flash red, and the camera will create a hotspot starting with “UBox_”.

    • Make sure the UBox app is closed on your phone. Open your phone’s Wi-Fi list and connect to the “UBox_” network using the password 12345678.

    • Once connected, open the UBox app to access the camera.

  5. The hotspot connection has a very short range. If your phone moves more than 1 meter away from the camera, the connection will be lost.
