Identifying Your Cameras for Reactivation:
If you have multiple cameras and need to identify a specific one for reactivation, you can use the following methods to match your physical camera to its listing in the app:
Method 1: Using the QR Code
- Locate the QR code sticker on your physical camera.
- Use your smartphone's camera app to scan the QR code. This will typically display the camera's IMEI-ICCID number.
- In the REVEAL app, find the corresponding IMEI-ICCID by following these steps:
- Tap the Camera icon at the bottom of the Home screen.
- Tap the name of the Camera Location.
- Tap the battery icon or signal icon next to the camera name you want to identify.
- Scroll down and select Device Info.
- Compare the IMEI-ICCID displayed here with the one you obtained from scanning the QR code.
Method 2: Using the SIM Card Number
- Carefully remove the SIM card from the physical camera you want to identify.
- Note the last five digits of the SIM card number.
- In the REVEAL app, access the camera's details by following the same steps as in Method 1 (steps 3.1 through 3.4).
- In the Device Info, locate the ICCID number.
- Compare the last five digits of the SIM card you removed with the last five digits of the ICCID displayed in the app to identify the correct camera.
