Important: If setting up a MouthWatch Plus+ make sure to install the required driver by checking the box at this step:

Quick Tip: If you don’t see the MouthWatch Capture icon, click the ^ button (indicated by the red arrow in the photo below) 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 that 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 – Windows Recognizes the Camera
Once the MouthWatch camera is plugged in, you should see a small alert on the bottom saying that New Hardware USB Video Device was recognized.
Step 4 – Install the Third Party Video Card Software
Kodak may not have been installed with the Third Party Video Card/Kodak 1000 Intraoral Camera function enabled.

Step 7 – Capture Images
As long as the MouthWatch Button Capture program is running and set to Kodak, clicking the capture button will take a photo. Once done, exit the capture window and assign images to the patient record.
