Instructions for Curve Hero
MouthWatch cameras can be used with Curve Hero to capture intraoral photos and save them to the patient record.
Step 1 – Download the Button Capture Software
If setting up a MouthWatch Plus+, make sure to install the required driver by checking the box during installation.
- Once installed, right-click the MouthWatch Capture icon in the lower right corner of your screen.
- A menu will display. Left-click Curve Hero.
If you don’t see the MouthWatch Capture icon, click the ^ button to expand the System Tray. You can drag and drop the icon from the expanded System Tray down to your Taskbar.
Step 2 – Plug in the MouthWatch Camera
Make sure you plug the USB connector into a powered USB port. Sometimes, these are located on the front or back of the computer. If your monitor has USB ports, these may not be powered.
If setting up a MouthWatch Plus+, use a USB 3.0 port.
Step 3 – Confirm MouthWatch Capture Detects the Camera
Once the MouthWatch camera is plugged in, the MouthWatch Capture icon should turn blue in the system tray, indicating it sees the camera.
Step 4 – Configure Curve Hero and Capture Images
With a patient selected, navigate to Imaging and select Get an Image.
- Set Upload files from to Webcam.
- Set Webcam to USB Video Device.
After opening the camera, click once with your mouse on the white box under Captured Image. This enables the camera capture button to take photos.
If you receive a message that your webcam is blocked, you will need to allow camera access in your browser. Click the lock icon to the left of the website address, open Site Settings, find Camera, and set it to Allow.
Step 5 – All Set!
You are now ready to capture images in Curve Hero. With MouthWatch Capture running in the system tray, each press of the camera capture button will capture an image and save it to the patient record.
