My experience using QR code method with the Pro5 is broken from how well it works for the Pro4 and others.  The Pro5 is an abomination in all kinds of ways.

 

I could not get it to work until I changed my DHCP server settings to set the DNS server to be the same as the network gateway.  Not sure why that matters as everything else I have using DHCP works fine and other cameras, not the Pro5.  I see it getting a DHCP address form the logs, but just kept cycling itself every 15 secs or so.  changing the DNS server seemed to have fixed that.

 

If your router supports that, try it.
