What you’ll need
Let’s get started
Power up Oscar indoors
Add Oscar to the Clan at Home App
If you’re setting Oscar up for the first time, you will need to:
- Download the Clan at Home app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store
- Open the app and “register” to create an account
- Create a Home
- Then add Oscar
If you already have a Clan at Home account, simply press the “+” icon on the top right corner and follow the on-screen steps.
You will be asked to enter your Wi-Fi router password and use Oscar to scan the QR code created on your smartphone, then Oscar will connect to your W-Fi network.
If you need help with this, please refer to the Quick Start Guide included with Oscar 2.

Installing Oscar
Choose a good spot
Oscar 2 has an adjustable head and a wide field of view so you can position it
in any direction you want. We recommend that you mount Oscar at around 3
metres above the ground, this is the ideal position for Oscar to sense
movement, see faces and talk through the speaker and microphone.
Ensure that Oscar is mounted in a position that allows you to see over a large area of your home and surroundings with an unblocked, clear view.
Test the Wi-Fi signal
Before mounting Oscar, we recommend that you test the Wi-Fi strength in the
area that you’d like to place it. Ensure Oscar is still plugged in to a mains
power supply and take it outdoors.
Hold Oscar in the position that you would like to mount it and check that the live stream is working well in the app.
Working well? Great, continue to the next page.
Can’t see the live stream? Your Wi-Fi may not be strong enough in that area, you may need to find another spot or move your Wi-Fi router closer.
Live View
Once setup is complete, select Oscar 2 in the Clan at Home app
Motion and Sound Detection
To set up the Motion and Sound detection, follow the steps below:
Recording Playback
Oscar continuously records for you, so you don’t need to remember to press record. The loop-recording feature automatically removes the oldest videos to make room for new ones. You can access the recordings from the Clan at Home app.
Home Management
You will have created a “Home” when you registered a Clan at Home account. To manage the settings of your home, follow these steps:
Add a Family Member
You are able to add Family Members to your home, this gives them access to all Clan devices in that home automatically so you don’t have to share each device individually.
Sharing Oscar 2
You are able to add share Oscar with your family and friends so they can also view the camera.
Sharing the device will only give them access to live-view, to give full access to Oscar settings, please see “Add a Family Member” on Page 9
