So you can’t simply open the app on your chosen device? There is a learning curve, mine has really been very intuitive to use. I have the Arken app loaded on my Ipad. A long press of the brightness button puts the Zulus into wifi mode. I then see the Zulus available in my wireless choices. I choose it and then have access to the Zulus recorded files through the app. I then download them to my Ipad and edit thereafter. Am going after rats again this coming weekend with mine. My Zulus has been great so far…Playing with mine, but haven't been able to get the app to work.
Be patient and proceed slowly. Initially I was on the fence, but have come to greatly appreciate it for what I purchased it for… Nighttime ratting, for me it has been outstanding in that role. When they present and I’m ready, they are done, I love the advantage it gives me over those nasty bastages…Using my android phone, and I can see the wifi come up but nothing connects. Will try another device and see what happens.
Then need to figure how to connect for the ballistics app. Would be nice to get the full use of the optic

Sweet that you got it to work for you. Was hoping @Solo1 got his working to his satisfaction. I am going after rats this coming weekend with mine… The rats don’t stand a chance if they present within 40 yards…Ok got it working! You need the services enabled, gps and others.


Are you using an additional illuminator on your rifle?I sold mine....awesome scope but too narrow of a view for me. So I ordered a 3-12 lol. Should be here this week. I really really like this scope. Fantastic for the price. Not sure it would replace my good glass scopes but I won't get rid of this one. Showed my BIL and his cousin and both now want the Thermal version.
Also if you have a LRF version checkout the DNT app and firmware update. Sounds like you can now have 5 ballistic setups directly in the scope so no longer need to have it connected to your phone.
I am not. I haven't used it a ton at night yet but the onboard one works great. I also don't use it a ton as I haven't had the time. So can't comment on the battery life. The nice part is though it can be left in auto mode for the IR light and adjusts itself when it's turned on.Are you using an additional illuminator on your rifle?
I usually just use my IR flood light on my feeder. I’ve found I like turning on the illuminator on my DS35 when I have time, the picture is better. I’m thinking of mounting a pressure switch illuminator so I don’t have to fidget with the scope. I also like the battery life without using the onboard.
Mine is on an Atomic XR dedicated to ratting, all the others wear optics… I love the little Zulus but don’t ever foresee it being my primary sighting device…you guy are deturmend to keep me broke.
Pic of Zoom lever please.I love mine not only as a scope but the sound and video are absolutely amazing. I did put a zoom lever on mine which was a big improvement.

Others - Arken Zulus Throw Lever
I put this Eagle Eye Switchview universal speedlever on my Zulus, and it seems to be working very well. They say it can stretch some, so I left room to tighten it some more if needed. It might be something some of you might like. They make throw levers for just about every scope out there.community.hardairmagazine.com
You could market those as Zip Levers in the Hard Air ClassifiedsI use a short and stout “zip tie” as my throw lever…View attachment 6580
