Setting up Ooma Butterfleye
Firmware Updates
Ooma is continuously working to enhance the Ooma Butterfleye with new software features and more
efficient operation. When an update becomes available, a circle with a 1 inside will appear on the gear
icon in the Ooma Butterfleye app. Tap the gear icon and scroll to the bottom of the camera details page.
Tap "Update Camera Software" to begin the firmware update.
App Updates
The Butterfleye Security Camera app will update automatically whenever a new version is released
provided that your phone is configured to accept automatic updates.
Finding the Best Location for Your Ooma Butterfleye
You should set up your Ooma Butterfleye camera in an indoor location with a clear, unobstructed field of
view for the area you want to monitor. The camera should be within range of your Wi-Fi network.
The field of view is the area in which the camera can detect motion. Your Ooma Butterfleye camera has a
120-degree viewing angle.
Do not block the camera's field of view. Make sure that no walls, tables, or objects are too close to the
camera. If an object is within 2.5 inches of the sides or front of your camera, it can reflect light back into
the camera lens and cause glare or hazy video.
For optimal facial recognition results, place the camera at eye level.
Using Your Ooma Butterfleye Unplugged and Offline
Ooma Butterfleye has a built-in battery and onboard storage that allows the camera to record even when
it is disconnected from AC power and Wi-Fi.
The camera is designed to be usable in locations without electrical outlets. Under typical circumstances,
a fully-charged camera will operate for two to four weeks when it is unplugged. The camera only needs
to be plugged in for about four to six hours to fully recharge. While the camera is unplugged, the Instant
Video Capture feature does not function and video clips are limited to 10 seconds in length instead of
20 seconds.
Ooma Butterfleye can also operate without a Wi-Fi connection. Video clips are stored in the camera's
onboard memory and are uploaded to the user's account when the camera is reconnected to Wi-Fi. The
power button will blink amber when the camera is operating without a Wi-Fi connection. This is normal.
