To configure your Back Yard Preview device to access your local network, simply follow the below steps.
- Turn on your Back Yard Preview device.
- In your device manual, open the appendix and scan the ‘Enable Wifi’ barcode.
- Restart your device using the ‘Restart Device’ barcode.
- Scan the ‘Configure Network’ barcode. You should notice that your screen now displays login information for a mobile hotspot.
- Using a mobile device (phone, tablet, etc) login to the hotspot using the credentials on your screen.
- Once you are logged into the device, open a web browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc) and navigate to admin.byp.local/ (this trailing slash, “/”, is important).
- You should now see the Back Yard Preview device’s admin website. Click ‘Manage Wifi’.
- In the dropdown (labeled “Wifi Name (SSID)”) locate the wifi network you wish to join.
- In the textbox (labeled “Password”) enter the password for the selected wifi network.
- Click the button labeled “Connect to Wifi”. After a moment, you should receive a confirmation popup.
- Your Back Yard Preview device will notify you, on the device’s screen, that you are now connected, then redirect you back to the video player.
- For security, after approximately 1 minute, the device’s hotspot will turn off.
