A:Answer Thanks for sharing with us your experience setting up the WI-FI Camera, and I am really sorry for the inconvenience this has been for you. As it is true, you need an account for the setup. However, if the camera was previously setup to an account, the only way to erase the information from it, will be by performing a factory reset on the camera. That way, you will be able to link your camera to your account. Feel free to get in contact with any of our support agents, so we can help you with all your inquiries and with some troubleshooting steps at 1-877-467-4289 from 8am to 9pm CST.
