Logging In
URL: app.packcam.ai/login (opens in new tab)
- Enter your Team Name (saved automatically for future logins).
- Enter your Email and Password.
- Click Log In.
Only Admin accounts can log in to the admin panel. Employee accounts are only used on the devices and for QR code login.
First time? Register at app.packcam.ai/register (opens in new tab):
- Enter a Team Name (your company or warehouse name).
- Enter your Email and Password.
- Click Register — you will be taken to the login page.
Claiming a Device
Claiming links a physical PackCam device to your admin account so you can manage it, view its videos, and bind a packstation to it.
Where: Admin Panel → Orders → Devices section (top of page) → + Add Manually button
- Power on your PackCam device and wait for it to display its Serial Number (e.g.,
PC-1A2B3C). - In the Admin Panel go to Orders.
- At the top of the page find the Devices section.
- Click the + Add Manually button.
- Type in the Serial Number exactly as shown on the device screen.
- Click Claim.
The device will now appear in the Devices section. Click the edit icon to give it a custom name (e.g., “Station 1”, “Dock A”).
Discover devices: Click the Discover devices button — nearby unclaimed devices will appear automatically and can be claimed with one click.
Adding Employees
Employees are the packers who work at packing stations. Each employee gets a unique QR code they scan at the device to log in.
Where: Admin Panel → Employees → Add Employee button
- Navigate to the Employees page from the left sidebar.
- Click Add Employee.
- Enter the employee’s Email and a Password.
- Click Save.
The employee will appear in the employees list. Employees cannot log in to the admin panel — they use QR codes on the device.
Roles:
- Admin — full access to the admin panel.
- Employee (Packer) — can only log in on devices; no admin panel access.
Generating Login QR Codes
QR codes allow employees to log in to PackCam devices by scanning instead of typing credentials.
Where: Admin Panel → QR Codes button in the sidebar
A modal opens with two tabs:
Employee QR Codes
- Click the QR Codes button in the sidebar.
- Select the Employees tab.
- Find the employee you want.
- Click Download to save their QR code as a PNG image.
- Print it or display it so the employee can scan it at the device.
Each QR code contains the employee’s user ID and email — it acts as their login credential on the device.
Device / Station QR Codes
- Click QR Codes → Devices tab.
- Each claimed device has its own QR code (contains the device’s serial number and name).
- Click Download for a single device, or Download All to get a ZIP file with all device QR codes.
