⚠️ Note of Caution
Avoid using excessive force when adjusting the tightening mechanism.

3. Check Camera

a) Make sure the Headcam sits on your head at an angle that allows the camera to capture your entire face.

For optimal performance, the camera should be level with your nose tip and pointing horizontally at your face.
(It should not point up your nose.)

If not, carefully adjust the focus by rotating the camera lens.

  • Android phones

  • Computers

Use the Headcam as a video source in any application that accepts external camera input.

b) The Headcam features dimmable LEDs for fill light.

  • Three different light intensities can be toggled by tapping on the rear side of the camera.

  • If capturing in an environment with poor lighting, brighter LEDs are recommended.
