How to Set Up HDCameraPro
Setting up HDCameraPro with your Wi-Fi camera involves a few steps:
- Download HDCameraPro from the App Store or Google Play — it's completely free
- Power on your Wi-Fi camera and ensure it's in pairing mode (usually indicated by a flashing LED)

Both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store listings indicate that the developer does not collect any data from the app. On Android, the app declares that data is encrypted in transit and that no data is shared with third parties.
