If you do not have a local Wi-Fi network, you can connect your Mevo camera to the Mevo app through the camera's Hotspot mode, then stream over your mobile device's 4G-LTE connection.
Mobile Data Usage!
Livestreaming can use a lot of data, so be careful if you have a limited data plan or you could be charged overages.
The Mevo Start and earlier generations have different form factors and LEDs but they are similar. You can click your model below to see what your Mevo LED should look like when attempting to use the Mevo Hotspot. If your lights do not match the examples then the Mevo is likely not yet in Mevo Hotspot mode.
After powering on a Mevo Start you will notice a white light then once the Mevo has established the Mevo Hotspot it will show a bluelight shown below.
For the Mevo Plus/First Gen, you should notice above the Wi-Fi indicator on the back of the camera that the LED ring light is pulsing blue. This means that the Mevo Wi-Fi hotspot is ready to connect.
