CP935ip will not connect, Wrong DID message Submitted on 7-1-2026 at 16:58

• AI answer: We understand you're experiencing an issue connecting your Smartwares C935IP WAPP camera and are receiving a "Wrong DID" message. This message typically indicates a problem with the camera's unique identifier (DID) or the network connection attempt. Here's a breakdown of what might be happening and how to troubleshoot it: * **DID Mismatch:** The "DID" (Device ID) is a unique identifier for your camera that the app uses to locate and connect to it. A "Wrong DID" message usually means that the DID you've entered into the app (or that the app is trying to use) doesn't match the actual DID of your camera. * **Double-check the DID:** Carefully verify the DID printed on the sticker on your camera itself (usually on the bottom or back). Make sure you are entering this exact sequence of letters and numbers into the camera's app. Even a single incorrect character can cause this error. * **Scan QR code (if applicable):** If your app allows it, try scanning the QR code on the camera. This is often the most reliable way to enter the correct DID. * **Network Connectivity Issues:** While the message specifically mentions DID, underlying network problems can sometimes manifest in ways that prevent the camera from being properly identified or connected. * **Camera Power:** Ensure your camera is properly powered on and that its indicator light (if it has one) shows it's in a ready or pairing state. Refer to your camera's specific instructions for what the light patterns indicate. * **Router Proximity:** Make sure your camera is within a reasonable range of your Wi-Fi router. Walls and other obstructions can weaken the signal. * **Wi-Fi Band:** Most Smartwares cameras operate on the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band. Ensure your phone/device is connected to the 2.4 GHz network of your router during the setup process, and that your router is configured to allow 2.4 GHz connections. * **Router Settings:** * **Firewall:** Temporarily disable any aggressive firewall settings on your router to see if it resolves the issue. Remember to re-enable them afterwards. * **MAC Filtering:** Check if your router has MAC address filtering enabled. If it does, you'll need to add your camera's MAC address to the allowed list. The MAC address is usually found on the same sticker as the DID. * **DHCP:** Ensure your router's DHCP server is enabled, as this is how the camera obtains an IP address. * **Router Reboot:** A simple reboot of your Wi-Fi router can often resolve temporary network glitches. Unplug it for 30 seconds, then plug it back in and wait for it to fully restart before attempting to connect the camera again. * **Camera Reset:** If you've tried everything else, a factory reset of the camera can sometimes resolve stubborn connection issues by returning it to its default state. Locate the reset button on your camera (often a small pinhole) and hold it down for the recommended duration (usually 10-15 seconds) until the camera's indicator light changes. **Be aware that a factory reset will erase all previous settings and you'll need to reconfigure the camera from scratch.** * **App Issues:** * **App Version:** Ensure you are using the latest version of the Smartwares camera app (WAPP app) from your device's app store. Updates often contain bug fixes and improvements. * **App Reinstallation:** Try uninstalling and then reinstalling the app on your phone or tablet. This can clear any corrupted data. **Step-by-step approach:** 1. **Power Cycle:** Turn off your camera, wait 10 seconds, and turn it back on. 2. **Verify DID:** Carefully check the physical DID on the camera and re-enter it into the app. 3. **Router Reboot:** Reboot your Wi-Fi router. 4. **Try Again:** Attempt to connect the camera following the app's instructions. 5. **Camera Reset (if previous steps fail):** Perform a factory reset on your camera and then try the setup process again from the beginning. If you continue to experience problems after trying these steps, please provide more details about your setup, such as: * What specific steps are you taking when you encounter the "Wrong DID" message? * Are there any other error messages? * What color is the indicator light on your camera? * What type of phone/tablet are you using?
