Set Up
Camera Set Up
The XFINITY® camera can be placed on top of your TV screen or on a flat surface
(like a TV console). The recommended viewing distance is 5’ - 12’. The camera should
not be used near strong magnetic fields.
TV Top
a) Place the front of the camera on top of your TV, with the bottom lip resting just below the
top of the screen.
b) Push the clip down until it touches the back of the TV and the camera is secure.
c) Pivot the angle of the camera and adjust to capture your preferred viewing area.
TV Top
Back of TV
Flat Surface
a) Hold the camera with the lens facing towards you and adjust the clip’s rubber bottom, as shown.
b) Place the camera on a flat surface with the lens facing the viewing area. Hold the rubber bottom in place
while pivoting the angle of the camera to capture your preferred viewing area.
Flat Surface

Set Up
Helpful Hints for Set Up
• The camera’s broad angle will give you the ability to relax across the room while enjoying
conversation. Run the Camera Test (during the TV activation or go to Settings > System
Settings > Video Settings at any time) to see what area will be captured during a video call.
• Position table/standing lamps in front of you to avoid appearing silhouetted.
• Turn down overhead lights and position a secondary table or standing lamp in front of you to
avoid having to turn overhead lights all the way up.
Important Note for Wall-Mounted TVs
• Make sure the combined weight of the camera (8.81 oz.) and TV does not exceed the maximum
rating for your wall mount. Check the wall mount manufacturer’s manual for the maximum
rating. The camera clip is not compatible with all TV wall mounts. For wall-mounted TVs that
have been installed flush with the wall, camera placement on your TV is not recommended due
to space constraints which may result in damage to your TV or the camera.
Important Note for Fireplace-Mounted TVs
• The camera is not intended for use in high-temperature locations, such as above fireplaces.

XFINITY® Adapter
a) Plug the provided HDMI cable to your set-top box and the other end to the HDMI Cable In
port on your adaptor box.
b) Plug a second HDMI cable (not provided) to the HDMI TV Out port on your adaptor box and the other end
to one of the available HDMI ports on your TV.
c) Plug the camera cable into the Camera port. If the camera cable is not long enough to reach the
Camera port, connect a USB extension cable (not provided) to the camera cable.
d) Decide if you want to connect to your home network using a wired Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
• Ethernet connection: Plug a CAT-6 Ethernet cable (not provided) to the Ethernet port on your adaptor
box and the other end to an available port on your modem and/or router.
    • WiFi connection: Skip this step and follow the instructions when you activate on your TV.
e) If you’re using an audio receiver, disconnect the SPDIF (Optical Digital Audio) cable going to your set-top
box and plug it into the Audio port on the adaptor box instead.
f) Connect the power adaptor to the power adaptor cable
Plug the power adaptor into the Power port on the adaptor box and the power adaptor cable to an
electrical outlet. There is no actual power button on your adaptor box so this power cable is the only way
to turn the system on and off.
g) Using your TV remote, select the same HDMI input to which you connected the adaptor box.

Power Up
If you need help with set up, please call 855-417-9342.
a) Plug the Power adaptor into the Power port on the power adaptor cable to an electrical outlet. There is
no actual power button on your adaptor box so this power cable is the only way to turn the system on
and off.
b) Turn on your TV, set-top box and audio receiver (if you have one).
c) After turning on your devices, you’ll see a black screen.
d) In a few minutes (up to 15), you’ll be greeted with a Welcome screen.

the adaptor box before you see this
screen. If you do unplug or reset before
activation is complete, the system
will restart from the beginning of the
setup process.
Helpful Hints for Powering Up
• The power adaptor is made up of two pieces that join together. There is no actual power button
on your adaptor box so this power cable is the only way to power the system on and off.
• If needed, use a USB extension cable (not provided) to add length to your camera cable.
• Use the HDMI cables to connect your set-top-box and adaptor box to your TV.
• The HDMI cable must be connected directly to the TV and not sent through a video receiver.

System Check
After you’re connected to the Internet, you’ll have the option of running some short tests to ensure everything
is working properly. These are quick diagnostic tests that will check your hardware and uncover any
problems or issues.
These tests are optional and can be run later by choosing SKIP TESTS. Go to Settings > System to run them
at any time.
