Introduction
Wristcam is the first camera made for the Apple Watch. It is designed to take photos and videos as well as support live communication, as well as support for developers just like your phone's camera does, so more use cases will be added with time.
The Wristcam core which holds the electronics can be removed from the Silicone band. You can purchase replacement or different color bands for your Wristcam. It's easy to switch the Wristcam core from one band to another, however please make sure to follow the instructions to avoid damaging your silicone band (a sketch of the core removal and insertion action to come here).
Setting up: Charge the device
Before using Wristcam for the first time, it's important to fully charge it or have it charged for at least one hour. Connect the core to the Wristcam magnetic charging cable through a Wristcam approved wall adaptor. A Red light on the world-facing LED indicates that Wristcam is charging. The LED might turn off after the device is fully charged. When you connect your device for the first time, the LED will glow between red and purple, which indicates it's ready to pair. If it glows Blue, it means you are not connected to the charger.
Note: In some cases, when you first charge the Wristcam, or after not charging the device for more than a few weeks, you might need to disconnect and reconnect the device to the charger to start the charging process. 
Pairing Wristcam with your iPhone
While your Wristcam is connected to the charger, and the LED is glowing (red/purple), open the 'Settings' app on your iPhone, go to the Bluetooth settings section and click to pair your Wristcam. It might take up to 30 seconds for the Wristcam to be discovered by your iPhone.
Once the Wristcam is paired with your iPhone, the Wristcam app will take care of the connectivity with your Watch. The Wristcam only needs to be paired once, and connectivity is managed automatically. It is normal for the device to appear disconnected when in Standby mode. Should you need further assistance please contact support@wristcam.com
Install the App
Soon after pairing your iPhone might have suggested installing the application for the device. If you missed that notification, you can use the link or QR code to get it.
Open the Wristcam app on your iPhone and follow the onscreen instructions. If possible, allow all requested permissions throughout the process. Refer to our privacy policy for assurance the data is only used for your benefit. At this point you might take a test photo using the Wristcam button while still connected to the charger, but try to avoid taking the device off its charger until it is fully charged.
Apple Watch App install Open the Apple Watch App on your iPhone, and click on the My Watch tab. Scroll down to the Installed on Apple Watch section. If you don’t see Wristcam automatically installed, scroll further down to the Available Apps section to find it, and click Install.
Firmware Update.
Periodically, we publish updates to the Wristcam device firmware both for improvements and introduction and new features launches, It is important to keep your Wristcam up to date;and we have automated this process., In most cases, you will get a notification when new firmware is ready to be uploaded to your Wristcam and you will be able to initiate the update process with a single click within the Wristcam app on your iPhone.
Important Note: Wristcam must be connected to the charger and have at least 60% battery charge for the firmware update process to start. You should also make sure your iPhone is in proximity with the Wristcam to allow bluetooth connectivity all through the upgrade process..
To check for Firmware updates manually, open your Wristcam iPhone app and within settings, scroll to the Maintenance and Support section and click the “Check for Firmware update”. It is highly recommended to make sure your Wristcam is up to date with the latest Firmware before using it for the first time.
