Welcome

Thanks for choosing the XCAM Pro

This guide takes you from unboxing to watching live on your phone, then covers motion alerts, recording, sharing and the settings you are most likely to need.

Before you start, you'll need

• A smartphone (iPhone or Android).
• A 2.4GHz WiFi network and its password. 5GHz, hidden and enterprise (work login) networks are not supported.
• Optional: a microSD card up to 128GB so the camera can record by itself. Cards are sold separately.

What the lights mean

Charging

• Use the USB-C cable supplied and a standard 5V / 1A USB charger. Do not use a charger that outputs more than 5V.
• The 1200mAh battery gives about 6 hours of continuous recording. A full charge takes 7 to 8 hours.
• The camera keeps working while it charges, so you can leave it on USB power permanently.
• It is normal for the camera to feel warm while it is running.

Motion alerts

The XCAM Pro detects changes in the picture. It does not tell people apart from pets, and moving curtains, shadows, sunlight or headlights can also set it off.

• Reposition first. Keep windows, TVs, plants and pet routes out of the frame.
• If there is a lot of normal movement where the camera is, you can switch motion detection off and use it as a live-view camera.
• Every alert uses battery. For an alert camera, keep it on USB power.

Turn alerts on or off

• During setup, the camera's settings page offers Notification push and Motion Detection switches.
• Later, open the camera's ⚙ Settings and use Notification Settings and Monitoring Function.
• Allow notifications for O-KAM Pro in your phone's settings, or the alerts won't appear.
• Tap the bell (Silence) on the camera's card to pause alerts for a while.

See what happened

Tap an alert to open the camera. Past recordings are under Playback on the camera's card and in Messages.

Section 8

Recording, storage & night vision

microSD card

• Supports cards up to 128GB. Cards are sold separately.
• Insert the card into the camera's card slot with the camera switched off.
• Choose how the camera records to the card in ⚙ Settings → TF Record Settings.
• Watch recordings with Playback on the camera's card.
• If the camera doesn't recognise the card, format it from TF Record Settings or try a different card.

Cloud storage (optional)

O-KAM Pro offers paid cloud storage, and the app may show a free trial and upgrade prompts. You don't need it: the camera records to the microSD card with no subscription.

Night vision

Night vision switches on automatically when the room goes dark, and back to colour when the light returns.

Section 9

Mounting, sharing & listening

Mounting

Clip the camera into its snap-on bracket, or screw it onto any standard 1/4-inch tripod or mount. Set the angle, then tighten.

Listening

The camera has a built-in microphone, so you can hear the room in the live view. It has no speaker, so you can't talk through it.

Specifications, care & safety

Care & safety

• Charge only with a 5V USB charger. Don't use damaged cables, and don't use a charger that outputs more than 5V.
• For indoor use. Keep the camera away from water, rain, high humidity and direct heat.
• Don't open the camera or try to replace the built-in battery.
• Keep small parts away from young children.
• Recycle the camera and its battery responsibly. Don't put them in household waste.

Using a camera responsibly

Monitoring your own home, property or business is legal in most countries. Recording people where they reasonably expect privacy is not, and audio recording carries extra restrictions in many places. Check the rules where you live before you place the camera, and tell guests, tenants or staff where cameras are in use.
