In this video, I'm going to be showing you guys how to connect the Explore One Action
Camera to Wi-Fi using an iPhone and an Android.
So let's get started.
So a few of you have been having issues connecting
your Explore One action cameras to the Wi-Fi connection on iPhone and Android.
So first let's use the Explore One HD action camera version. To do that I'm
going to show you on the iPhone first and then we'll do the Explore One 4K version.
Okay, starting with the HD model first switch on the Wi-Fi button on the side here
and here you'll see the SSID and also the password.
Whatever is shown on your camera is the Wi-Fi connection that you need
on your iPhone or smartphone. So I'm going to show you using my iPhone first.
Click on Settings and in Wi-Fi and you're going to search for the Wi-Fi connection that
matches the one on your action camera. So I have SportsDV so I'm just going to search for that.
Okay, here it is, click on that and then enter the exact same password,
again that's shown on your camera. So for me one two three four five six seven eight.
Okay and then let that connect. So before you exit out of this I want you to just hold on
for a minute because sometimes what happens is the Wi-Fi refreshes and then the connection disappears
so you may need to do it a few times. So if I just... so here you can see that it's refreshing
something disappeared below but my SportsDV is still there. So it's still connected.
So now I can exit out of this and now I'm going to open the GoPlus
Cam app which I had already installed and here you go and just tap on the screen.
And now you can see that it's working.
So now if I exit out of this and go back into the Wi-Fi settings I'm just
going to show you the settings that I have on my smartphone.
So here you can see the IP address and just I'm just going to show you all the details so that
you guys can just see that it's the same as what I have. But it's all shown as automatic here.
Just double-check all the settings and then hopefully it should connect.
I haven't had any issues connecting it to my iPhone ever since I've had the camera.
You also want to go into the Settings and into the app settings. So in Settings go to GoPlus Cam
and down here at the bottom if I just show you here
the IP address just make sure that the address is the same or the gateway if you will.
So usually, a lot of people have this slightly different then just make sure
that this is the same hopefully it should connect.
Okay and if I just show you because my camera is almost three years old now
I have version 1.0. So other than that I really
don't know if they've done something different to the app or to the camera.
So for the Android, same thing. Install the app on your Android phone if you have.
Go into Settings into Wi-Fi select the Wi-Fi matching the one on the camera
you can just find it. I might need to refresh it a few times
Okay, there it is. Enter the same password that's shown on the action camera.
Okay here are all the settings that I have on my Wi-Fi connection.
Connect.
Okay now on this for some reason it shows 'no internet' I'm just going to click on
the wheel here and also show you the settings that I have here okay but everything's fine.
So come out of settings and now go into the GoPlus Cam app and
it should still work even though it says no internet, mine is still connecting on my Android.
So I really don't know why it says 'no internet'.
Moving on to the Explore One 4K version. You need the Live DV
app for this. So install that click on the Wi-Fi button on the side here.
Okay, the same thing whatever is shown on your screen. So I'm going to go
into my settings into Wi-Fi, find the Wi-Fi connection that matches the one on my screen.
Okay, enter the exact same password again. One two three four five six seven eight and here it
is and now you can see on my camera it's showing Wi-Fi connected and on my smartphone as well if I
see it there I'm just going to wait a few minutes to make sure that it doesn't disappear
and then once I'm happy that it's stable I'll come out of settings now I'll go into the app
and then if I click on that.
Okay, I have a little error message. See if I can come back out and go back in again.
Yeah okay and there it is it's all connected now
and just to show you guys, it's connected and now I can use my smartphone as well to record.
If I just go into Settings for the Live DV app and let's just go into Wi-Fi settings and again
I'll show you all the settings that I have just make sure that they are the same as mine
and hopefully you shouldn't have any problems connecting to the Wi-Fi.
Configure IP. The IP address. Just make sure that it's all the same and hopefully it should connect.
Okay and for the 4K version. Using the Live DV app on your Android phone, go into settings
go into Wi-Fi don't forget to press the Wi-Fi button on the action camera.
Enter the exact same Wi-Fi connection and enter the
same password that's shown on your action camera.
And again with the Android, it's showing no internet just like it did with the HD camera.
Okay, I'm just going to show you all the settings that I have here
if you guys want to just double-check everything.
Okay then exit this and go into the Live DV app to allow access. I'm
also showing Wi-Fi connected on the action camera.
Click on connect the camera and there you have it, now it should be connected.
So again, guys, you can see that it is working on my smartphones both of them,
unfortunately, the app is not very good I think.
Especially the GoPlus Cam app it's quite old and it doesn't get updated very often
and I think that's what's causing a lot of the issues, it's not the camera itself it's the app.
But I hope you found this video useful.
Please do drop us a comment if it worked or if you figured
anything else out that you can share with everybody else.
Thanks for watching and I hope to catch you in my next video.
