HIPCAM Assist allows you to make a video call from your Hipcam to all the devices (mobile phones, tablets or Hipcam cameras) registered under the same user or to those users with which the camera has been shared.

The first thing is to be sure you set up a nickname in your HIPCAM user account. If you haven´t done it when first setting up your user account please see the following steps:

1. Open the HIPCAM App and press the user profile icon in the lower right part of the screen.
2. Press on your profile data to edit it.

4. Press the Save button.

Now, let's try to make your first video call through Hipcam Assist by following these instructions:

1. Talk to your HIPCAM cameras and say "Hello HIPCAM"
2. HIPCAM will answer: "How can I help you?" in the language that has been selected in the "Settings" of the camera (HIPCAM should not take more than 2 seconds to respond, if you do not get an answer, try speaking again paused).
3. Say "Call Mike" ("Mike" is your contact's nickname for this example).
4. HIPCAM will call Mike and automatically activate the video call.
5. To end the video call, press the red Cancel button.

If the camera is shared, you can call all the contacts with which you have shared the camera. You will have to know their nicknames.

EMERGENCY CALL: If someone in your home has an emergency, they can call all of the user devices that are logged into your HIPCAM camera (owned and shared) to get help following these steps:

1. Talk to your HIPCAM cameras and say "Hello HIPCAM"
2. HIPCAM will answer:  "How can I help you?"
3. Say "Emergency"
