This spherical shape Qubo camera is cuter than the oblong one I had reviewed previously. There is the moving camera which is the black portion and it is housed in a white case or shell. Now although it is called a 360 camera, it doesn’t cover the entire 360-degree field of view. It has some blind spots, but I reckon from the corner of a room (where it’s most likely to be fixed/placed), its tilt and pan movement should cover a broad view.

Also, in the black area, at the bottom of the camera lies a microphone and a micro-SD card slot (for offline storage of up to 256GB). You can manually move the black sphere in order to find this slit.

Now this motorized component is fixed on a frustum. The Qubo branding is present on the front and beneath it lies an LED indicant of its activity state. The green color denotes it’s on and active while Red means it’s on but not active.

For it to be on, you must plug it into a power source using the bundled microSD to USB-A cable. The use of a dated interface like this is a bit off-putting. But since we would mostly connect it and leave it, I can give this choice a pass. Anyhoo, it inserts into the back of the frustum wherein you’d also find the machine’s power switch. This button isn’t very clicky.

Qubo Smart Cam 360 Installation
Well, it is simple. You seat it somewhere plugged into an electrical socket. The rest of the setup takes place through the Qubo app. Open the app and go to Devices, then click on the hamburger icon, followed by Add Device. Choose either the device type (Cam 360 in this case) or press on the plus sign. It would scan and show the device in range that is ready to pair. Ensure your phone is in a 2.4GHz WiFi network since 5Hz won’t work. A bit weird weakness. Nevertheless if so far things are done right, you should be able to tether both devices. I was offered the promotional Gold subscription plan free for a month as a trial period within which I did all my testing. You might also get this trial period. The prime benefit of it is that you can store the data in the cloud which was convenient for my review. But if you want to store the data in a memory card, insert that in the slot.
