IPC360 Home For PC

IPC360 Home doesn’t have a PC version and can only be used on mobile phones; however, you can access it on your computer using alternative methods.

You can install BlueStacks on your computer and then use the IPC360 Home app to install it

How to Use BlueStacks on Your PC and Install IPC360 Home Apps

Step 1: Download and Install BlueStacks

1.Visit the Official BlueStacks Website: Open your web browser and go to www.bluestacks.com.
2.Download the Installer: On the homepage, you’ll see a prominent “Download BlueStacks” button. Click it to download the latest version of the installer.
3.Run the Installer: Once the download is complete, locate the BlueStacksInstaller.exe (for Windows) or BlueStacksInstaller.dmg (for macOS) file and double-click it to run.
4.Follow the Installation Wizard: The installer will guide you through the process. Typically, you just need to click “Install” or “Next” and agree to the license agreement. You can choose a custom installation path, but the default is fine for most users.
5.Launch BlueStacks: After installation, BlueStacks will either launch automatically, or you can find its shortcut on your desktop and double-click it to start.

.

Step 2: First Launch and Setup

The first time you launch BlueStacks, it might take a moment to load and will prompt you for some initial setup, similar to setting up a new Android phone:

1.Sign In with Google Account: To access the Google Play Store and sync your app data, you’ll need to sign in with your Google Account (Gmail account). If you don’t have one, you can create it.
2.Complete Basic Settings: Follow the on-screen instructions to complete some basic settings like choosing your language, time zone, etc.

.

Step 3: Install Apps

There are a couple of main ways to install apps within BlueStacks:

1. Install via Google Play Store (Recommended)

This is the most common and recommended method, just like installing apps on your Android phone:

1.Open Google Play Store: On the BlueStacks home screen, you’ll see a “System apps” folder. Click on it, then find and click the “Play Store” icon.
2.Search for the App: In the Google Play Store, use the search bar at the top to type the name of the app you want to install (e.g., “IPC360 Home”).
3.Install the App: Once you find your app, click on its icon to go to the detail page, then click the “Install” button. The app will automatically download and install within BlueStacks.
4.Run the App: After installation, you can find and click the app icon on the BlueStacks home screen or in the “My Games” tab to launch it.

2. Install via APK File

If you have an APK file (Android Package Kit) for an app, you can manually install it:

1.Download the APK File: Download the IPC360 Home APK file of the app you want to install from a trusted third-party website to your computer.
2.Drag and Drop Installation: Simply drag and drop the downloaded APK file directly into the BlueStacks window. BlueStacks will automatically recognize it and prompt you to install.
3.Use the APK Installer: On the right-hand toolbar of the BlueStacks interface, there’s usually an “Install APK” or similar icon (a square icon with a downward arrow). Click it, then browse and select your downloaded APK file, and BlueStacks will install it automatically.

How can family and friends access the camera?

When your friends need to access the camera, you need to go to the camera interface and share the camera with your friends. Your friends need to download the app on their phones and register a new account.

Can one camera be added to two accounts?

No, a camera can only be added to one account. However, you can use the “Share” feature to allow multiple accounts to view the same camera feed.

Can an account be logged in on multiple phones at the same time?

To ensure the privacy and security of your account, an account cannot be logged in on multiple mobile devices at the same time. If you want to share the camera view with friends and family, please use the “Share” feature.

What should I do if the email or phone number used to register the account is no longer in use?

You can still use the abandoned email address or phone number along with its password to continue logging into the App. If you cannot remember the original login email and password, please register a new account.

I forgot my account login password.

Please click the “Forgot Password” button on the App login page and follow the steps to reset your password.

Why can’t the camera detect moving objects?

• Check that all motion detection settings are enabled in the application.
• It is not recommended to install cameras in small rooms as this will greatly reduce the motion detection area.
• The motion detection range is limited. Moving objects beyond the maximum distance are difficult to detect successfully.
• Please do not install cameras with PIR (Passive Infrared) close to glass windows as this may affect the PIR functionality of the camera.
It is recommended that you create specific motion zones for the areas you wish to monitor.
Motion detection is optimised to detect movement when objects cross the field of view horizontally, rather than moving directly towards or away from the camera.

Why can’t I receive alerts on my phone?

• Make sure the application has permission to receive notifications on your phone (go to your phone settings, search for the IPC360 Home app and make sure notification permissions are enabled).
• Make sure the push notification option is turned on (go to the app, click on “My Settings” and then “Message Push” to make sure the notification option is turned on).

How do I adjust the alarm frequency to avoid false alarms?

• Please login to the app and go to the device settings page to check the setting frequency.
• If you are a cloud service subscriber, you can enable the Smart AI Detection option, which can distinguish between people, vehicles, pets and other movements, reducing most false alarms.

What should I do if the quality of the night vision image deteriorates?

There are several factors that can affect the quality of night vision images, such as obstacles in front of the camera causing the night vision image to be too bright, or defects in the infrared sensor causing the image to be too dark. We have summarised the factors that lead to poor night vision image quality and their solutions, please check them:

• Clean the camera lens regularly. If the camera is installed outdoors, it can easily collect cobwebs, dust or water spots, all of which can cause the video image to become blurred. Please use a brush or small towel to clean the camera lens regularly.
• Avoid placing the camera too close to walls or lights. Installing the camera too close to walls or light sources can cause night light to be reflected and affect video image quality. You can move the camera away from these objects or turn off the infrared light.
• Image quality depends on the installation location. Typically, a camera’s night vision range is up to 9 metres at night. The camera will not be able to detect objects further than 9 metres from the camera.
If the above instructions do not resolve the night vision problem, please contact us (click the feedback button below) for assistance.

What should I do if the night vision display is bright white?

If the camera is close to obstacles, such as walls, shelves, door frames, or a lamp next to the camera lens, it will reflect the camera’s infrared light back to the camera, causing only nearby objects to be visible while the rest of the image will be very dark.

To solve this problem, try adjusting the camera’s angle and direction so that nearby surfaces or objects are not within its field of view, or move objects near the camera that might reflect infrared light; alternatively, you can turn off the infrared light in the application.

Why are night vision images so dark?

If the environment is too dark or there is no light, we recommend setting the night vision to black and white mode to get a clearer image.

What should I do if the SD card is not recognized?

Make sure the SD card is properly inserted into the camera. Check if the SD card slot is correctly aligned and ensure there is no resistance when inserting it.

Check if the SD card is damaged. You can try inserting the SD card into another device (such as a computer or another camera) to see if it can be recognized correctly.

If other devices also cannot recognize the SD card, it might be an issue with the SD card itself.

You may consider replacing it with a new one. The capacity of the SD card should be between 32GB and 256GB.

How to delete videos saved on the memory card?v

The videos stored on the memory card cannot be deleted.

Once the memory card is full, new recordings will automatically replace the old ones.

Can I watch videos in the app when my phone is not connected to Wi-Fi?

You can watch videos in the app when you have mobile data. If there is no Wi-Fi and no mobile data, you will not be able to watch videos on your phone.

There is a black spot in my video that I cannot remove.

• Please check if there is any dust or dirt on the camera lens. It is recommended that you wipe it with a clean cloth.
• If the black spot remains after wiping, it may be due to dust on the camera’s internal sensor. If the position of the black spot does not affect the monitored area or the area is small, it will not affect normal use of the product. If the area of the black spot is large, it is recommended that you contact us (click the feedback button below) for support or replacement.

If the camera is installed upside down, how can you rotate the video?

Due to various installation requirements, you may have mounted the camera on the ceiling or in other locations that require downward installation. If this is the case, the video image will be upside down. To rotate the video image back to its original orientation, you can adjust it in the application.

• Open the device list settings in the application.
• Click Image Settings, then click Image Flip.
• Select “Flip”.

Why can’t I see my camera video in the app?

• Check that your camera is online.
• If you have recently moved your router or camera, check the signal strength to make sure the new location has a strong enough signal. If there is no signal or the signal is weak, move the router closer to the camera.
• Scroll down the camera list in the application and update the camera status.
• Disconnect the camera from the application, then press the Reset button on the bottom of the camera to reconnect the camera.

Why can’t the camera hear the sound coming from the phone?

• Make sure the application has access to the phone’s microphone. (You can go to the phone settings, search for application permissions, find IPC360 Home and enable microphone permissions).
• Go to the device settings for sound within IPC360 Home and make sure that the “Intercom Volume” is turned on.
