Mounting the Head Unit
The Head Unit of the OrCam device contains the video camera and must be
mounted on your eyeglasses. A small mount, or clamp, can be permanently
attached to the frame of your eyeglasses. The camera then can be snapped on
and off the mount as needed.
The mounts, along with the mount kit containing the spacers and an Allen key, are
included in the accessories box. These include: 2 mounts, 8 rubber spacers (2 each
of four sizes) and an Allen key.
Two mounts are provided so you can use the OrCam device with more than one
pair of glasses, such as your regular eyeglasses and reading glasses or sunglasses.
Four pairs of rubber spacers of different sizes are provided, to enable you to select
the size that best fits your eyeglass frames. The thinner the temple of your frames,
the larger the spacer should be.
It is recommended to select eyeglasses with thicker frames for mounting the
OrCam camera. Very thin frames, such as many wire-frames, may cause the mount
to come loose, even if attached tightly using the largest spacer, after you snap the
camera on and off a few times.
If the mount comes off of the glasses frame and becomes stuck inside the Head
Unit, it is possible to remove it with a small screwdriver.
Attaching the Mount to Eyeglasses
The Head Unit of the OrCam device is designed to be mounted on the right side of
your eyeglasses. Therefore, the mount must be placed on the right side of the
frame.
