  2. From the Home tab select the image of the device to go to the Live Stream.
  3. Tap the Settings icon SettingsGear.pngon the top left to enter into the Camera Settings
  4. Navigate down and select the Device Info tab.
  5. Under Network you will see the name of the WiFi network that the Wyze Cam is connected to. 
  6. Write down or remember the network name.
