How to share your security camera with a family member
You can share camera access through the app. You don't need to give anyone your password. Most security camera apps have a 'Share' or 'Invite' button that lets you send a link or invite to a family member. They'll get a notification and can start watching right away.
Security cameras come with an app that only you can see at first. To let someone else watch, you send them an invite from the camera app. They accept it and get access. They can see the camera live and recordings, but they can't change settings or remove the camera. This is safer than sharing your password because you stay in control.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Typing the wrong email address in the invite. Ask them to read their email out loud to confirm before sending
- Not waiting long enough for the invite to arrive. It can take a few minutes, especially if the email goes to spam
- Assuming they have the app installed when they don't. Confirm they downloaded and installed the camera app first
