INVIZD Setup Guide
 

Version 2.0 - August 2026

1. Welcome
This guide explains how to set up and use your INVIZD.
The fastest and easiest way to set up your device is through the INVIZD app.
The app provides a clear step-by-step guided experience, and is always the most current method.

This document is a complete reference for if you prefer to read the full process first, or need instructions for advanced features.

Support Email: support@Invizd.com
You can also contact support directly inside the INVIZD app.

2. Important Notes Before You Begin
•  A device can only be paired to one INVIZD at a time.
If you previously set up an INVIZD or joined another ecosystem and want to start fresh, uninstall the app and reinstall the INVIZD app first.
•  INVIZD requires a normal home Wi-Fi network for initial setup.
University dorms, corporate networks, or other restricted networks may cause issues. Contact support@Invizd.com if needed.
•  Supported platforms
    •  iOS (iPhone & iPad) - fully supported
    •  macOS - supported
    •  Windows & Android - currently in alpha


3.  Standard vs Custom Configurations
Standard INVIZD • Network: Wi-Fi only • Ethernet port: None • USB port on the box: None • Cost & Delivery: Standard
Custom Option • Network: Dedicated Ethernet port (in addition to Wi-Fi) • USB port on the box: None • Cost & Delivery: Higher cost + longer delivery time

On custom units that include Ethernet, Wi-Fi can still be fully disabled in settings.

 4. What You Need
•  Your INVIZD box (powered on)
•  iPhone or iPad
•  Your home Wi-Fi network name and password
•  The INVIZD app (free from the App Store)

Optional
•  Proprietary backup disk (included with your INVIZD)
•  Your own external hard drive (must be self-powered) if you want expandable backup storage

5. Primary Setup Method (Recommended)
1.   Download the INVIZD app from the App Store.
2.  Power on your INVIZD box.
3.  Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions.
The app will guide you through connecting to your INVIZD, joining your Wi-Fi network, setting up the secure connection, registering your fingerprint, and creating your account.
Most people finish in under 10 minutes.
