If you prefer a classic plug-and-play wired connection, follow these simple steps:

Option 2: Setup via Wireless Dongle
Want to keep your conference table completely free of clutter? The wireless setup is the way to go:
Step 1: Power it up
Just like the wired method, connect the power cable to the camera and plug it into a power source. Wait for that yellow ring light to turn on to confirm it has power.
Step 2: Connect the dongle to your computer
Grab your wireless dongle (sold separately) and simply plug it into an available USB port on your computer.
Press and hold the Switch Mode button for 3 seconds. When you hear the connection prompt tone, pairing is complete and the green ring light will turn on.
Step 3: Position the camera
Place the Nearity 360 Alien right on your conference table. Its 360-degree design ensures everyone sitting around the table will be seen and heard clearly.
