Captive Portal

After flashing a fresh Thingino firmware image on a supported camera with a wireless module, the camera will not have any information about your wireless network and will not be able to connect to it automatically.

You can either provide your wireless network credentials on an SD card or use our versatile built-in portal.

After you turn on the camera without network credentials, it will set up a temporary access point and create a public network called THINGINO-XXXX, where XXXX is the last four characters of the camera's MAC address.

Connect to this network, either using a mobile device (smartphone or tablet) or from a PC, and navigate your browser to http://thingino.local/. You should see the form for entering initial settings for the camera:

portal1

Fill in the form with the current information and click the "Save Credentials" button at the bottom.

portal2

On the next page, review the information and correct it if you find an error. Otherwise, click the "Proceed with Reboot" button.

portal3

The camera will reboot and register with your wireless network using the information provided.

portal4

Check the DHCP leases on your router to find the IP address assigned to the camera.

Wireless Credentials on an SD Card

Create an uenv.txt file on a blank FAT formatted SD card with the following content

wlanssid=nameofyournetwork
wlanpass=yourwirelessnetworkpass

Reboot the camera with the card inserted. The information provided will be added to the environment and reused to log on to the wireless network.
