Angelcam Onboarding: How to Set Up Your AngelCamera One in Minutes

With the growing need for smarter, more connected security systems, Angelcam offers a versatile solution with its AngelCamera One, a 'plug-and-play' security camera, designed to easily unify and connect IP cameras from other brands under a single and reliable cloud-based monitoring platform, delivering smart monitoring with a focus on simplicity, security, and scalability.

Whether you're managing security for a small business or a multi-location company, here’s how to get your AngelCamera One up and running—and why it could be the key to elevating your security strategy.

Unboxing and Setup: Simplicity at Its Core

Angelcam’s AngelCamera One arrives ready for action. Inside the box, you'll find the camera itself, a power adapter, mounting hardware, and essential accessories to ensure both indoor and outdoor functionality. Designed for quick deployment, the setup process is straightforward:

1. Choose Your Power and Connectivity Method

  • Option 1 - Power over Ethernet (PoE) Switch (recommended): Using a PoE switch, connect the camera with two Ethernet cables to provide both power and network connectivity. Ideal for larger setups, this method reduces cabling complexity and costs.
  • Option 2 - Power Adapter and Ethernet Cable: Use the included 12V DC power adapter for electricity and an Ethernet cable for internet access. This option is perfect for simpler installations.

2. Mount and Position the Camera

Secure the camera to a wall or ceiling using the supplied screws and bolts, and adjust the angle with the included Allen wrench for optimal coverage. For outdoor setups, use the provided plastic cover to ensure a rain-proof installation.

3. Connect to the Angelcam Platform

Before connecting the camera, make sure you've created your Angelcam account, activated the Essentials Plan, and downloaded the Angelcam app on your smartphone. Then, proceed as follows:

  • Power on the camera and connect it to your local network.
  • Open the Angelcam app, go to "My Cameras," and tap the "+" sign.
  • Select "AngelCamera," create a unique username and password, and follow the prompts to detect the stream.
  • Name your camera and check the "Add this camera to the cloud" option.
  • Hit "Add selected camera to Angelcam," and you’re set.

Pro Tip: Complete the setup within the first 20 minutes after powering on your AngelCamera One. If the initial configuration isn't finished within this time frame, the device will automatically require a restart to ensure its secure connection protocols are maintained. This safeguard helps prevent unauthorized access and ensures your setup process remains secure.
