Welcome to your XGRIDS PortalCam

Three steps and the camera is ready.

1. 1.1
   Unpack

   Remove the silicone lens cover.
2. 1.2
   Mount

   Attach the MagSafe phone mount to the device.
3. 1.3
   Power on

   Hold the battery button for 2 seconds. Boot takes about 25 seconds: slow-flashing blue, then solid green = standby (solid yellow = not yet activated).

Your activation code is on the card inside the box. Use it to activate LCC Studio.

1. 2.1
   Find your code

   The activation code is printed on the card inside your PortalCam box.
2. 2.2
   Install LCC Studio

   Download and install LCC Studio on your processing PC, then create an account via the in-app sign-in.
3. 2.3
   Activate

   Enter the activation code from your box to activate LCC Studio (a free version is included).

The phone app drives the camera — start/stop, modes and live preview.

1. 3.1
   Install LCC Scan

   Install LCC Scan on your phone or tablet.
2. 3.2
   Connect

   Open the app, tap the PortalCam icon and join the device Wi-Fi to connect.
3. 3.3
   Enter preview

   Tap the PortalCam icon again to open the scan preview screen.

Pick a scene mode, initialise, then walk slowly and steadily.

1. 4.1
   Select a scene

   Choose the mode — NIGHT, INDOOR, NATURE or PORTRAIT. Start with INDOOR; use NIGHT when moving between bright and dim areas.
2. 4.2
   Initialise

   Place the camera on the tripod or a flat surface, then double-click the device button (or press-and-hold Record in LCC Scan). Keep it still until the light goes from fast- to slow-flashing green (about 6–8 s).
3. 4.3
   Scan

   Walk slowly at under 0.5 m/s — 0.3 m/s in dim areas, doorways and corners (the app shows a live speed readout). Keep at least 0.5 m from surfaces, vary angle and height, use a serpentine path, and keep each map under 30 minutes.
4. 4.4
   Finish

   Return to where you started, stand still for a few seconds, then stop. Wait for solid green — the fast-flashing green means the file is still being saved.

Offload to your PC and build the 3DGS model locally, or upload to the cloud.

1. 5.1
   Enter USB mode

   Connect via USB-C. Tap USB Mode in the app, or press the power button once (white LED ring) then again (solid blue). Copy the project folder to your PC.
2. 5.2
   Create the project

   Launch LCC Studio → Create. Name the project and use "+" to select the copied project folder.

   Configure & process

   Choose Fast / Standard / Slow reconstruction, tune Portability / Low-Memory / Loop Closure for your hardware, then click Start to build the 3DGS model.

   Upload the project folder directly to LCC Cloud for reconstruction.
