### Allow access and start

Allow camera, motion and local-network access when requested by the feature. For live data, connect the iPhone and computer to the same network, then start the feature's **Send** or streaming control.

Opening a feature or seeing its camera preview does not always start network output. Tracking pages show which output to enable.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
You do not need Python to record in the App. To receive live data on a computer, follow the Python Quick Start below.

Open iOS **Settings → Apps → asMagic** and enable the access needed by the feature. Local-network permission can also be found under **Privacy & Security → Local Network**. Return to the App and start sending again.
