HD camera: setup and checks

Camera assembly and separate microSD card beside a power-off instruction.
Use the charging, card and reset steps for the same camera version.

1. HD: choose local recording or remote viewing

Do not kink the camera ribbon, bend it more than 90 degrees, pull it sharply or leave it dangling. Support the camera, not its cable.

Local mode records video and microphone audio to microSD while the camera is on. Remote mode uses an internet-connected router or phone hotspot; it does not require a microSD card.

2. HD: prepare local recording

  1. With the camera off, fit a microSD card up to 128 GB in FAT32 format.
  2. Hold ON for 5 seconds to start recording. If it will not start, charge for at least 1 hour.
  3. Check a test recording and the free card space before use.
  4. Use JXL Cam and the camera network CAMAxxxxxx to set focus if needed. Hold ON/OFF for 5 seconds to stop local recording.

3. HD: install the app and start setup

  1. Install JXL Cam from the Play Store on Android or App Store on iPhone, then open it and allow the permissions needed for camera connection. Use the app name for this camera version.
  2. Hold ON/OFF for at least 5 seconds and wait about 1 minute. Rapid blue flashing indicates configuration mode.
  3. Charge for at least 1 hour if it will not start. The camera may get warm in use; check actual operation in the app, rather than assuming a dark indicator means it is off.

Steady redCharging; red goes out at completion.

4. HD: connect locally and set the focus

  1. Connect the phone to CAMAxxxxxx in Wi-Fi settings. Choose to keep that connection if the phone reports no internet.
  2. Open JXL Cam and select the camera image in AP/Wi-Fi mode. If it is absent, temporarily disable mobile data to force Wi-Fi and reopen the app.
  3. AP mode is a nearby camera-to-phone connection; the guide lists about 10 metres, not a guaranteed remote-viewing range.
  4. Use Horizontal flip and Vertical flip if the HD image is reversed.
  5. Support the camera housing, not the ribbon. Turn the lens clockwise to focus farther away, or anticlockwise to focus nearer. If you turn past focus, turn back.
  6. Select the speaker icon to hear the camera microphone; unmute and adjust phone volume.

5. HD: add internet Wi-Fi

  1. Open the app’s main screen and select WIFI settings.
  2. Choose a nearby 2.4 GHz router/hotspot network, enter its password and select Settings.
  3. The camera then stops its own setup Wi-Fi and joins the chosen network. The phone needs to regain internet access through Wi-Fi or mobile data to finish checking the configuration.
  4. Wait for the timer or Next step. Steady blue indicates a successful connection; Camera configuration failed means you must check the network and retry setup.

6. HD: set the camera password

  1. At Next step, set the camera name and password. The documented initial camera password is admin; choose your own password, then select Next step.
  2. Keep the camera near its configured Wi-Fi. Remote viewing also needs internet on the viewing phone.
  3. Check Online/live view. Stability depends on both connections; image interruptions can occur.

7. HD: share access intentionally

  1. Select the settings cog > Share and save the QR code.
  2. Share the camera UID/QR and password only with the person who should have access. Keep the camera on.
  3. That person installs JXL Cam and grants the needed permissions.
  4. Select + > Add cameras manually, scan the QR or enter the UID, enter the camera password and select Next Step.
  5. Open the camera image to check the shared live view.

8. HD: recognise the app controls

JXL Cam lists motion alerts, sound, image/capture, video, full screen, resolution, horizontal/vertical flip, indicator-light toggle, night vision, playback, battery, settings, date and time.

Indicator-light controls can hide the lights while the camera remains on.

9. HD: position the camera without damaging the ribbon

Use compatible fixing pieces for clothing, sleeve or collar mounting. Do not pierce the ribbon when attaching or sewing the camera, and do not leave it hanging from the cable.

Set focus at the intended viewing distance. A remote viewer can use the app’s capture function to take a still image.

10. HD: finish use, charge or reset

  1. Hold ON/OFF for at least 5 seconds until blue goes out.
  2. Use the supplied charging parts or a supply no higher than 5 V / 1 A. Red means charging and goes out when complete; listed charging time is about 2–3 hours.
  3. The camera can operate while charging, but this is not recommended because it can reduce battery life.
  4. Reset only when you need to remove the current configuration: while on, hold Reset for 5 seconds, then wait at least 1 minute.

4K camera: setup and checks

1. 4K: choose local recording or remote viewing

Do not kink the camera ribbon, bend it more than 90 degrees, pull it sharply or leave it dangling. Support the camera, not its cable.

2. 4K: prepare local recording

  1. With the camera off, fit a microSD card up to 128 GB in FAT32 format.
  2. Press ON to start recording. If it will not start, charge for at least 1 hour.
  3. Check a test recording and the free card space before use.
  4. Use HDCameraPro and the camera network HW-xxxx to set focus if needed. Hold ON/OFF for 5 seconds to stop local recording.

3. 4K: install the app and start setup

  1. Install HDCameraPro from the Play Store on Android or App Store on iPhone, then open it and allow the permissions needed for camera connection. Use the app name for this camera version.
  2. Press ON once. Blue lights first, then green should flash for configuration. If needed, hold the reset button for 5 seconds while on and wait about 15 seconds.
  3. Charge for at least 1 hour if it will not start. The camera may get warm in use; check actual operation in the app, rather than assuming a dark indicator means it is off.

Fix a failed check

No lights or charging appears to fail

Use the supplied parts or no more than 5 V / 1 A, switch off for charging and allow at least 1 hour before testing. The app’s indicator-light control can hide lights while the camera remains on.

If setup cannot be recovered, use the reset procedure for the selected model. Resetting removes its configuration. A unit that will not respond needs model support; do not repeatedly power it during the first charging period.

The camera Wi-Fi network is absent

Check charge and distance from the phone. A camera already configured for internet Wi-Fi normally stops its own setup network.

To start configuration again, switch on, wait at least 10 seconds, hold Reset for at least 5 seconds and allow the documented restart period. HD uses rapid blue flashing; 4K/Pro uses flashing green.

A phone hotspot or Wi-Fi is not listed

Use 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi; this is separate from the phone’s 4G/5G mobile service. On an iPhone, check Maximise Compatibility if available; on Android, check the hotspot band/compatibility setting.

Configure the camera from a different phone than the one supplying the hotspot. Check proximity, power-saving/automatic-disconnection settings and whether another device can see the network. Refresh the app’s list.

Internet Wi-Fi configuration fails

Check the selected network/password, charge, distance and 2.4 GHz support. After the camera stops its setup network, the configuring phone must regain internet through Wi-Fi or mobile data.

Restore mobile data if it was disabled for AP setup. A partial setup may require the model’s reset procedure before repeating the same setup path.

Local viewing works but remote viewing does not

A connection to CAMAxxxxxx (HD) or HW-xxxx (4K) is AP/local viewing, not proof of remote access. Finish internet Wi-Fi setup and keep the router/hotspot on and near the camera.

Check internet on the viewing phone. Reset/reconfigure only if the current camera network settings need to be replaced.

The image is delayed or unclear

Test the router/hotspot internet connection from another device. If a speed test is around or below 5–10 Mb/s, investigate the network or coverage; this is a troubleshooting clue, not a guaranteed video requirement.

For a smooth but blurred picture, support the camera housing and turn the lens: clockwise focuses farther, anticlockwise nearer. Never hold or twist the ribbon to focus.

The picture is reversed

Use the horizontal/vertical flip controls: icons 7/8 in JXL Cam, or 12/13 in HDCameraPro. App layouts can change; use the named controls.

Care and safety

Keep the device, cables and adapters dry. If they get wet, unplug safely and allow them to dry fully; do not use an external heat source such as a hairdryer or microwave.

Stop using damaged equipment. Use the supplied or specified power parts, keep cables/adapters indoors and do not handle connected equipment during a thunderstorm.

Use is discouraged with a pacemaker, hearing aid, other electronic medical device or a hearing condition. Seek suitable professional advice before use in those circumstances.

Follow local rules for use, privacy and disposal. This product is not a toy. Ask CooMax for the documentation and warranty terms that apply to your selected product and country.
