Installation Guide

Quick Installation Guide
Note:
To set up your Foscam camera, only one of the two options above
need to be followed (wired or wireless connection). If your router
supports WPS functionality, we recommend using the second
option to set up your camera wirelessly. If your router does not
support WPS or if your WPS connection fails, please refer to the
“Wireless Settings” section in the FI9831P user manual located on
your installation CD to set up your camera wirelessly.
Model:FI9831P

has the latest firmware installed for your specific camera
model.
Foscam cameras require good security practices to
safeguard your privacy. You can help protect your camera
by changing the default username and/or password.

IP camera using the official Foscam app. Once the camera is
connected to your smartphone, we recommend modifying
the user name and password.
④ Next, press the WPS button on your wireless router within 60
seconds. This is usually located on the back of the router. Consult
your router’s user manual for detailed information on this feature.

that the green LED indicator will flash at a slower rate once WPS

automatically populate with your camera’s unique UID. This
value can also be entered manually, as the UID serial is located
under the QR code on the bottom of your camera.
You must also input a Device Name (of your choice), Username
