Product Information
Full details
The Ferret Pro Wireless Inspection Camera is for professionals and DIYers needing to inspect confined or hard-to-reach spaces. Its key benefit is streaming high-definition video directly to your smartphone via WiFi, allowing for detailed visual checks without disassembly. A potential caveat is the reliance on a stable WiFi connection and the limited battery life for extended use.

FAQs
How do I reset the WiFi connection?
To reset the WiFi, typically you just need to power the camera off and then back on. If issues persist, consult the app or manufacturer's support for a specific reset procedure.
What is the IP67 rating?
IP67 means the camera is protected against dust ingress and can withstand submersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
Can I use the camera with a computer?
This model is designed for smartphone and tablet use via the dedicated app. Direct computer connectivity may not be supported without additional software or hardware.
How long does the battery last?
The rechargeable battery provides up to 90 minutes of run time on a full charge.
What is the benefit of the Ferret Always Up feature?
This feature automatically corrects the video orientation, so the image appears upright on your screen regardless of how the camera is positioned.
Does it record video and take pictures?
Yes, the Ferret app allows you to capture both still images and record video footage directly from the live feed.
How far can the WiFi signal reach?
The camera offers up to 30 metres (100 feet) of line-of-sight WiFi range.
Troubleshooting
Camera not powering on
Ensure the camera is adequately charged. Connect to a power source using the provided charging cable and allow time for charging.
Cannot connect to WiFi
Verify the camera's WiFi is enabled. Restart both the camera and your smartphone. Ensure you are within range and that no other strong WiFi signals are interfering. Try forgetting the Ferret network on your phone and reconnecting.
No video feed in the app
Confirm you are connected to the Ferret camera's WiFi network on your phone. Close and reopen the Ferret app. Ensure the app has necessary permissions (like camera access) on your device.
Image is blurry
Adjust the variable focus lens on the camera. Ensure the lens is clean. Check the distance to the subject; the variable focus is optimized for specific ranges.
Short battery life
Ensure the camera is fully charged before use. Reduce the brightness of the LED if not needed. Extended use in cold temperatures can also affect battery performance.
