Use the JXLCAM app on Android to access the A9 WiFi Mini Camera through its local AP connection. The basic flow is to prepare the app, connect the phone to the camera's Wi-Fi network, then open the AP view inside JXLCAM.

Title: AP Mode Text: A local connection mode used to view the camera after the phone connects directly to the camera's Wi-Fi network. Title: Camera Wi-Fi Text: The local network is identified as B/xCCQ in the provided setup instructions. Title: Local Viewing Range Text: AP mode is intended for nearby use, with the provided instructions describing an effective distance of no more than about 10 m. [/reference]Before Using the Android App
Prepare the Android phone before opening the local camera view. JXLCAM needs access to the Android features required for its camera connection and viewing functions.
[checklist] * JXLCAM is installed on the Android phone * Required Android app permissions have been reviewed and allowed * Wi-Fi is enabled on the phone * The A9 camera's B/xCCQ Wi-Fi network is available in the phone's Wi-Fi list * The phone and camera are close enough for local AP viewing [/checklist] [warning] Review Android permission requests when they appear. If a permission required by JXLCAM is denied, the related app function may not operate as expected. [/warning]Install JXLCAM
The A9 setup information identifies JXLCAM as the Android app used for this connection method. Search for JXLCAM in Google Play and complete the normal Android installation process.
The provided app-selection reference can also be used to identify the app used by this setup flow.

Android Permission Access
During setup, Android may ask JXLCAM for access needed by its available functions. Review each request on screen and allow the permissions required for the camera connection or viewing function you intend to use.
- If a required permission prompt appears, read the Android description before choosing an option.
- If a needed permission was previously denied, its access can normally be reviewed from the Android app-permission settings for JXLCAM.
- Return to JXLCAM after the required permissions are ready.
Open Local AP Mode
Local mode connects the Android phone directly to the A9 camera's Wi-Fi network. This mode is useful when another Wi-Fi network is not available and only nearby camera viewing is needed.
[step] 1. Open the Wi-Fi settings on the Android phone. 2. Find the camera Wi-Fi network identified as B/xCCQ in the setup information. 3. Select that network and wait for the phone to connect. 4. Return to the JXLCAM app after the Wi-Fi connection is established. 5. Open the AP option in JXLCAM. 6. Use the AP view for local camera video. [/step]
What AP Mode Does
AP mode is a nearby viewing method rather than a normal internet-based connection. The phone first joins the camera's own Wi-Fi connection, and JXLCAM then uses that connection for the local camera view.
[compare] Local AP Mode | Connect the Android phone directly to the camera's B/xCCQ Wi-Fi network and open AP in JXLCAM for nearby viewing. Regular Wi-Fi Environment | A separate Wi-Fi network is not required for the local AP viewing method described here. [/compare]Using Local Mode Nearby
The provided A9 instructions describe local AP mode as effective within no more than about 10 m. Keep the phone and camera within the intended local range while using this connection.
[tip] If you are using AP mode specifically because no other Wi-Fi network is available, connect to the camera's B/xCCQ network before returning to JXLCAM and opening AP. [/tip]Android Control Flow
The essential Android controls for this local-viewing process are split between the phone's Wi-Fi settings and the JXLCAM app.
[reference] Title: Android Wi-Fi Settings Text: Used first to select and connect the phone to the camera's B/xCCQ network. Title: JXLCAM App Text: Open the app after the phone has connected to the camera network. Title: AP Option Text: Select AP inside JXLCAM to enter the local camera-viewing flow. [/reference]The connection order matters: connect the Android phone to the camera's Wi-Fi network first, then return to JXLCAM and open AP.
