USING THE APP

After you’ve set up your system, use the Uniden AppCam app (“Uniden 
AppCam”) to manage your AppCam operations and to take snapshots and 
remotely view live or recorded video on your smart phone or tablet device.  
You can have multiple independant AppCam cameras on the network.  Please 
follow these steps to use the app.

ACCESSING YOUR CAMERAS

1.  Run the Uniden AppCam app (“Uniden AppCam”).
2.  The 

Globe

 screen displays for each camera set up on the app. Review the 

names for each camera and tap the globe for the camera you want to view.

3.  The 

Snapshot

 screen displays for that camera. See page 23 for actions 

available from the 

Snapshot

 screen. Tap the screen image.

4.  Live video displays. See page 29 for actions available from the 

Live Video

 

screen. Tap 

 

to return to the 

Snapshot

 screen.

If only one camera is set up on your system, the app displays the Globe 
screen momentarily and then displays the Snapshot screen for your 
camera.

SNAPSHOT VS LIVE VIDEO SCREEN

The 

Snapshot

 and 

Live Video

 screens control operations. The 

Snapshot

 screen 

lets you add more cameras, configure advanced settings, access and manage 
recorded files, update the camera connection status and check app version. 
The 

Live Video

 screen lets you take snapshots and begin recording live video. 

You can also control the sound.
