Precision Rifle Gear Trigger cam won't connect

[Mxracer532]

So I got a trigger cam from a buddy (don't wanna bother him on VDay)
I installed app and turned it all on and wifi to connect. I typed in the code and all and it says No internet connection.
I'm at a loss. Anyone got one and know what to do??

If your phone is connected to your WiFi on 5 Ghz disconnect/disable it and make sure you are on 2.4 Ghz only.

Common issue with many IoT devices.

Also make sure you enabled Location on the phone and for the app.

Ok. On your tablet / phone, you connect to the triggercam wifi. TC itself doesnt "need" internet.

So go into wifi settings, and look for the TC wifi signal, connect to that.

Is this what you want to know ?

So disconnect from my house WiFi. I disconnected from it and connected the TC. But it says no internet connection.
Also says to connect to camera on the app.

Did that. That's not what my issue is.

The camera should act as a wifi access point, it won't have internet so your phone is going to bark about that.

It is sounding like the app needs the right permissions set for it. Look under the application settings and enable all that it needs, likely: location and storage.

If phone is being really stupid about it enable airplane mode then turn on WiFi and try to connect to the camera.

I have one. So with the trigger cam on, you can select it under your wifi correct? it will say no internet connection but should connect through the app. Are you not able to see it in the app?

Didn't work.

Is showing you are connected to the trigger cam's radio for your network. Are the permissions for the app enabled?

 

[Dhbiker02]

Is it a trigger cam 2.1? I know there is a different app for just the trigger cam.

All permissions are enabled. I have installed and removed a few times.

I have tried both apps. This isn't the 2.1 cam. The other app I see is the BSP app. Bow, shotgun pistol app. But I tried it as well with the same results.

There is an apk for the V1 from the maker:

https://triggercam.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/TriggerCam-1.0.0.1.apk

Since it is a non-store install you likely will have to disable a security setting to allow un-trusted sources for apps to install it.
Be sure to turn the setting back on once are done installing that.

No, never even seen that app as an option. (Android)

Think that's the app you will need for the original Trigger Cam

Dang...I'm starting to run out of ideas. Thought for sure that would do it.

This says there is a reset button on the device but doesn't show it. Perhaps try that then reconnect to its WiFi.

I noticed that as well. I have zero idea where the reset button is and I have searched everywhere online and can't find anything.
I have the guide. No help.

5 months newer version with more pics. If I had to venture a guess the larger hole near the USB port is for a paperclip to reset, see if there is any labeling in that opening.

My iphone 11 doesn’t see the trigger cam wifi half of the time. Having issues as well. Somtimes it does see the wifi not sure if it’s a transmission issue from the trigger cam 2.1 or a receiving issue on the iPhone 11.

Or is it an interference issue ? I’m in the country and would not assume it would be that

Very frustrating as you cant focus the video without a connection
