The AirTouch Beam app may request access to your device’s camera during setup to enable certain features, particularly related to device pairing and smart home integrations.
Purpose of Camera Access
-
Scan QR Codes During Setup
-
Camera access is required to scan QR codes on your AirTouch Beam device or packaging.
-
This is especially necessary when setting up Matter integration with voice assistants like Apple HomeKit, Google Home, or Amazon Alexa.
-
-
Secure and Efficient Pairing
-
Scanning the QR code allows for a quicker and more secure pairing process, reducing the need for manual input.
-
What If I Don’t Want to Grant Camera Access?
You can still complete the setup process without enabling the camera:
-
Tap the “Enter Code Manually” option within the app.
This alternative allows you to maintain control over your privacy preferences without compromising functionality.
