Why is the AirTouch Beam app asking for camera access?

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

1. 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.

2. 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.
