Activate xcam3 without the app

@XfinityAntoine​ Hello, to clarify, we no longer have service with Xfinity. The xcam was bought when we had service.

I saw a response from a different agent that stated, "We may be able to do it through our systems and that's why the other agents asked to send us a direct message. Another thing to mention though is without the app, you would only be able to view the camera content through your TV box if you have that service." Is this not true? This was under a post from another Xfinity customer who did not have the service.

Gotcha! You can definitely use those cameras without xfinity services in a DIY project or like a baby monitor. You need to factory reset them and you need a special Y-adapter cable to be able to connect to them and configure them directly. I have 4 of those cameras that are left over from former XH security system and I have repurposed them for my own system. Look up how to reset icam1000 or icam2, the procedure is very similar except that you have to reset the camera and the XW3 "power adapter" as well with paper clip through the pin hole. You may get lucky and be able to connect to it via WPS without Y-cable, I have not tried that though. 

Thank you very much for your response. I have a question - where exactly would I connect the Y-adapter to? The only place in my xcam3 that is connectable is the charging port, which seems smaller than most Y-adapter cables. I have attached a picture for reference.
