Welcome to Scorpion Alert! Follow these steps to connect your Scorpion Detector and start keeping your home safe.

📱 Step 1 — Install the App

1. Download and install the Scorpion Alert mobile app from the App Store or Google Play.
2. Open the app and log in using your Google account (Apple Sign-In coming soon).

🔌 Step 2 — Power On Your Detector

1. Plug in one Scorpion Detector at a time. Use the lower plug on your electrical outlet. Optionally remove your electrical cover plate's existing center screw and secure your Scorpion Detector using the included electrical cover plate screw. It's the screw with the white head and is often used for child protection. If you'd like additional child protection, you may also insert the included white tab in the slot on the bottom of the Scorpion Detector and use the sheetrock screw to provide additional child protection.
2. Stay close to the detector while setting it up — within a few feet is ideal.

⚙️ Step 3 — Open the Setup Menu

1. In the Scorpion Alert app, tap the purple Menu arrow at the bottom of the screen.
2. Tap Settings → then tap Detectors.
3. Tap Setup to begin adding a new detector.

📶 Step 4 — Connect to the Detector’s Wi-Fi

1. The app will prompt you to switch Wi-Fi networks.
2. Go to your phone’s Wi-Fi settings and select the network named
3. Scorpion Detector.
4. Once connected, return to the Scorpion Alert app.

🏠 Step 5 — Enter Your Home Wi-Fi Details

1. In Step 2 of the app setup, enter your home Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password.
2. 💡 Tip: Make sure you enter your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network — Scorpion Detectors don’t support 5 GHz networks.

🏷 Step 6 — Name Your Detector

In Step 3, give your new detector a name that describes its location, such as:

• Front Door Right
• Playroom
• Garage Entrance

🌎 Step 7 — (Optional) Assign a Location

If you only monitor one place (like your home), you can skip Step 4.

If you manage multiple locations, choose the right one here.

💾 Step 8 — Save and Finish

1. Tap Save New Detector.
2. Your phone may automatically reconnect to your home Wi-Fi.
3. If not, go back to your Wi-Fi settings and reconnect manually.

✅ Step 9 — Confirm Your Detector

1. Return to the Scorpion Alert app — you should now see your new detector listed.
2. Tap on it to open the live view.
3. You’ll see the camera feed pointing at the floor — that means it’s online and monitoring.

🎉 You’re All Set!

Your Scorpion Detector is now connected and ready to alert you when it detects scorpion movement at night.

You can add more detectors later by repeating these steps for each one.
