Download and install Watch

Use with AI

Install Watch on the computer that will connect to the cameras. The download page lists the build, hardware requirements, filename, signing notes, and SHA-256 checksum for each platform.

Choose your platform and download

1. Verify the file before opening it

Find the SHA-256 for your exact filename on the download page. Compute the checksum in your downloads folder using that page’s instructions. If it differs, stop, discard the file, and download it again from that page.

macOS: open Terminal in the downloads folder and replace FILE.dmg with the downloaded filename.

shasum -a 256 "FILE.dmg"

Windows: open PowerShell in the downloads folder and replace FILE.exe with the downloaded filename.

Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 -LiteralPath ".\FILE.exe"

Linux: open a terminal in the downloads folder and replace FILE.AppImage with the downloaded filename.

sha256sum "FILE.AppImage"

2. Install Watch

macOS — Use the .dmg for Apple Silicon. Open it, drag Watch into Applications, and launch it from there.
Windows — Run the .exe and follow the installer. Open Watch from the Start menu.
Linux — Mark the .AppImage executable in its file permissions, then open it.

If your system blocks launch, check the signing and pilot restrictions for that build on the download page. Use your organization’s approved process for a pilot, or request a build that meets its policy for production.

After installation, open Watch. If neither the activation window nor the main screen appears, note the system error and see installation troubleshooting.

3. Activate Watch

Connect to the internet, open Watch, and enter the license key from Account in its activation window. When the main screen opens, continue to your first camera.
