help!!!!!!! What am I doing wrong? I can’t get past the Wrong Password screen. I assume this is the password to my WiFi? I enter it but it just spins.

I look for the access id on the iPhone wireless page and once it's there click on it to put the phone on the caboose wireless, then I go to the app. Wait for the caboose to show up on the app. I don't change or deal with the password. Just skip that. Then the camera picture comes up and you can just view it from that point. Later I just rename the caboose from CAB to whatever road name it is under the Modify Device window.
Thinking more about your question, the password for the caboose is blank...no password. Don't enter anything. When the apps talk about it, it's not the password of your wifi.

I would also agree with this
I just received my UP camera caboose today from Charles Ro.
I set it up pretty quickly. I used “settings” in the camera app and put in default 8888 but changed the password as recommended not to continue to use the default. I did not use my house wi-fi password. The caboose generates its own wi-fi signal, so house wi-fi not needed. I did not connect on my IPad to the house wi-fi; I went into “settings” on my IPad and went to “wi-fi” connections and scrolled down to the long name like “CM32EA-1D7f........” as shown on page 6 of the enclosed manual.
The camera clarity looks very good to me on the IPad.
Hope this helps!!

I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab A and it works just fine. BTW it has a 10.1" screen.

Arnold,
I think any device with iOS (Apple) or Windows or other tablet or PC’s / Mac’s (?) with a wi-fi way to connect to the caboose wi-fi signal should be able to work ok.

Yes just about anything can watch the video. I use iOS devices so in the video an iPad is used and is the same format as the iPhone. I don’t know about Mac support but the software that comes for windows I think is very good too.
I've watched on the Windows desktop. It works very well...big screen.
Below is a screenshot of the Wi-Fi setting on an iPhone 7 Plus. Nothing is going to work until you have a connection to of the Camera App to your device. Step 1: Go to settings Step 2: Go to “Wi-Fi” Step 3: Make sure you see this long number with the red arrow. You will have to check this every time you use the “CupolaCam™”
Hope this helps and good luck: Gary
