When it's time to setup your MobiCam, follow along with this video or the article below.
(Note: This setup process is specifically for MobiCam (70200) and MobiCam HDX V1 (70196), NOT MobiCam HDX V2 (70196-SK) The guide for the V2 is found here. )
What you will need to get started
- MobiCam

Step 1: Download the MobiCam app
Download the MobiCam app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Once you have downloaded the app, login or sign up for a new account.
To create a new MobiCam app account:
- Open the MobiCam app

Step 2: Plug in MobiCam and wait for it to startup
MobiCam must be plugged into a power source at all times of desired operation.
The LED indicator will display a solid color when the camera is first plugged in to signify it is receiving power. After a few moments, the LED indicator will begin to blink and your MobiCam will speak "Welcome to MobiCam". This voice prompt means the camera is now ready to receive the sound wave.
Please turn your volume up during the soundwave. The camera may connect before the soundwave is finished- this is normal behavior. (If you do not hear the voice prompt, a reset can always help.)
Once the MobiCam is connected, it will not immediately show in the MobiCam App. Please close the MobiCam App completely- your MobiCam will now appear, ready for use.
Restart the app, and enjoy your new MobiCam!
