Use the agreed location
Keep the camera indoors, dry, stable, and clear of fabric or objects that could block ventilation. Do not move it to an unagreed room or outdoor location.
Camera setup and support
Set up your PanOptiCozy camera.
This public guide is the same for every loan camera. It explains safe everyday use; it does not identify, claim, or configure your camera.
Power and startup
Power it, then wait for green.
-
Place the camera first
Use the supplied stable mount in the agreed indoor location. Keep the camera dry and leave every ventilation opening clear.
-
Connect the supplied power adapter
Use stable line power. A slow amber pulse is normal while the camera boots, is offline, or is waiting for commissioning.
-
Wait for solid green
Solid green means the camera is healthy and connected. The loan camera is prepared before delivery; there is no pairing, claim code, or Wi-Fi entry on this page.
The one-light vocabulary
What every light means.
Treat the camera as recording whenever it is powered. This prototype does not yet provide a production-grade privacy indicator.
- Slow amber pulse
- Booting, offline, or awaiting commissioning.
- Solid green
- Healthy and connected.
- Solid blue
- Camera capture or live-view session active.
- Fast red
- Fault requiring attention.
- Accelerating red/amber
- Reset hold countdown.
- Brief green after release
- Reset cancelled.
- Brief white at threshold
- Reset accepted.
Placement and recording
Keep the view agreed, visible, and ventilated.
Respect private spaces
Tell people who enter the camera's view. Do not place it in a bedroom, bathroom, or anywhere people reasonably expect privacy.
Detection happens locally
The camera examines detector-facing frames on the device. Local detection decides whether a moment should become an event.
Selected events upload
Selected event metadata and encoded video fragments can be uploaded for review. Continuous 24/7 upload is not the normal path.
Operator access is part of the prototype
An authenticated operator can review and download uploaded event media and publish runtime or tuning changes remotely.
Live view and cleanup stay explicit
Live viewing is used only when it is part of the agreed test. Uploaded media has a default seven-day cleanup, but that prototype cleanup is not a deletion guarantee.
Tester-safe reset
Hold RESET only when support asks.
A power-cycle pattern is not a reset trigger. Use the recessed RESET control only for the documented user reset.
- Press and hold RESET for approximately eight seconds. The light accelerates red and amber while you hold it.
- Release before the threshold to cancel. A brief green light confirms cancellation, and no state changes.
- A brief white light means the reset was accepted. Stop and contact support for Wi-Fi recommissioning.
Reset removes
Wi-Fi, published configuration and state, local logs, and local media.
Reset preserves
Provisioning, enrolled identity, installed runtime, and remote-update capability. It does not erase event media already uploaded.
Offline, fault, support, and return
Report it, then follow support.
Offline
Slow amber stays on
Note the time and light state, then contact support. When support asks, disconnect power for 10 seconds, reconnect it once, and report what the light does.
Fault
Fast red appears
Note the time and light state, then contact support and quote the adjacent device id. Restart only when support asks; if fast red returns, stop troubleshooting.
Return
Unplug and pack the full kit
Return the camera, supplied power adapter, and accessories using the agreed packing instructions. Returning a prototype for recovery is not tester error.
The stable Android tester-app page always shows current availability and, when a release is selected, its exact install guidance. Use only that page; do not substitute a developer install path.
