I just bought a unit. It's always failed in QR code. Here's what I have done
Choose locale Mainland
Wifi is unifi 10mbps speed with WPA2 encryption
Choose dafang from the list
Press setup and entered wifi pass and scan QR
At around 60% it successes but then it also said failed
It always failed at around 60-70%

I had power off and on many times also.
I had delete mi home app and clear cache.

I am using iOS.

I am not sure firmware version. From mi home app, I click check for updates and it said no updates available.
So I guess I am on newer possible version firmware.

Guys. Any of you had similar problem ?

i had done the same
fail to scan QR code and it always fail at around 80-90% (connection time out)

i think so, give it a try.
i havent try it myself but logically it should work
i have two dafangs and one xiaofang, - you cant view them all at once but one at a time
*
i believe your 2 dafang and 1 xiafang was set-up using the same wifi line.


my case is different....2 different wifi, hopefully can work sweat.gif

The app can work using 3G/4G and other wifi network, so I dont see why in your situation it wont work. It wont know which wifi you paired it to after it is setup
Please report back  sweat.gif

hi guys, i just bought:
1 xiaofang on firmware 5.6.2.77
1 dafang on firmware 5.5.1.287

i've read a lot of comments, some say to update the firmware, some say not to update.

my question is, should i update the firmware for both cameras?
Thanks alot.
