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.
3 Metres

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.

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.
