Important Security Considerations
To ensure smooth operation, please coordinate with your IT team to:
- Whitelist the PathCam camera and its SD card to prevent security restrictions.
- Whitelist PathCam.com to enable access to software licenses, updates, training materials, and support resources.
The PathCam Imaging System operates within a closed-loop environment, preventing external access to captured images and video files. For compliance, the host facility is responsible for managing user credentials, auditing usage, and ensuring proper access controls.
Workstation/PC Requirements
To ensure optimal performance, please review the following specifications:
- Minimum Specs (for basic operation):
- Windows 10 OS or higher, 16 GB RAM, USB 2.0 Port.
- Designed for image capture and annotation only, with long-term storage handled via network folders.
- Recommended Specs (for advanced use with multiple applications running concurrently):
- Windows 10, 11, or Enterprise OS, 32 GB RAM, Intel Core i7 (11th Gen) processor, 1 TB hard disk.
- USB 3.2, USB-C, Ethernet port, Iris XE or greater graphics card, DDR4 or greater.
- Powered USB Hub (10-16 ports) to ensure consistent power for peripherals.
Other Required Devices
- Monitor: 21” or larger touchscreen with VESA compatibility and HID compliance (drivers not required).
- Keyboard and Mouse: Washable, medical-grade devices designed for sterility and easy cleaning.

Enhance Your PathCam Experience with Add-On Options
While exploring the 60-day PathCam Trial, you have free access to review the Voice Command feature under Settings. However, this feature will only remain available beyond the trial if purchased separately. For optimal performance, pair a headset through Settings > Mic Tab to experience its precision. If enabled without a paired headset, it may respond to background noise, triggering snapshots unexpectedly.
For additional hands-free functionality, consider the Foot Pedal Command Add-On, which can be used alone or alongside Voice Command. When ordered, a four-pedal device will be shipped, preprogrammed for easy pairing, with commands assignable under Settings > Foot Pedal.
