How do I set up my Hive View or Hive View Outdoor in the Hive app?


If you are buying multiple Hive View or Hive View Outdoor cameras then you will need to set up them up one at a time.  Make sure you fully install each one before starting to set up the next. 

If you are new to Hive follow the steps below:

1. Download the Hive app from the iTunes App Store or Google Play Store
2. Log in to the Hive app using your Hive username and password
2. Once logged in, select “Camera” from the screen of devices
3. Follow the on-screen instructions. When prompted plug your Hive View Hive View Outdoor in and switch the mains power socket on. It will start flashing blue to show it's ready for install
4. Once your Hive View Hive View Outdoor is installed you can change your settings preferences

If you are an existing user with Hive products already installed then follow the steps below:

1. Head to your Hive app and log in if required using your Hive username and password
2. Once logged in, go to Menu, select “Install devices”, then “Camera”
3. Follow the on-screen instructions. When prompted plug your Hive View Hive View Outdoor in and switch the mains power socket on. It will start flashing blue to show it's ready for install
4. Once your Hive View Hive View Outdoor is installed you can change your settings preferences

You will need the bluetooth on your phone to be on during install. Bluetooth is required for initial setup only. Once the camera is installed the camera uses Wi-Fi.
