Camera Overview

Supported models: SC2 (for business), X, V and Z1

  • The back of the camera is indicated by the small WiFi screen.
  • One side of the camera has 4 buttons:
    • Top button — power button.
    • The second button — Wi-Fi button (used when pairing with your device or to refresh the connection).
    • We do not use the bottom two buttons.

How to Pair Your Device and Camera

  • Press the power button. The button will light up and icons will display on the Wi-Fi screen (if the Wi-Fi signal is flashing, it indicates the camera is NOT connected to your device).
  • Go to the Wi-Fi settings on your device and look for the Wi-Fi hotspot for the camera.
  • Click on the hotspot that begins with "THETA."
  • The password will be the 8-digit serial number that follows the letters ("YP" in the screenshot below) after the Wi-Fi name:

The password can be confirmed by looking at the bottom of the camera:

  • Once the connection is established between the camera and your device, the WiFi signal on the camera should remain solid. 
  • Your device is going to indicate there is no internet connection. This is fine. This is merely pairing your camera with your device. 
  • Camera is NOT connected to the internet. The camera and device have a connection. 
  • Your device may be indicating it cannot connect to the camera. This error message can be ignored.
  • Note that only one device can pair with the camera at a time.

The next time you turn your camera on, it will automatically pair with your device (there is no need to enter your password every time).

Note: If you get a new device or reinstall the DocuSketch app, you will need to follow this process again.
