What You'll Learn
Identify your camera model
To identify your Xfinity camera model, you can start by examining the camera itself. Look for any labels, stickers, or markings on the camera body that may indicate the model number or name. This information is usually located on a sticker or plaque attached to the camera, often near the base or the mounting area.
In some cases, the model number may be embossed or engraved directly on the camera housing. This could be located on the front, back, top, or sides of the camera, so be sure to inspect all surfaces carefully. The model number or name may consist of a combination of letters, numbers, and/or dashes, and it may be preceded by the brand name, such as "Xfinity" or "Comcast."
If you have the original box or packaging for your Xfinity camera, you can also refer to this for model information. The box may have the model name or number printed on it, along with other specifications and features of the camera. Look for any labels or stickers on the box, as well as on the sides or bottom, where product information is typically listed.
Another way to identify your Xfinity camera model is by checking your purchase history or receipts. If you still have the receipt or invoice from when you bought the camera, it should include the model name or number. This information may also be available in your online account or order history if you purchased the camera from an online retailer.
Finally, if you have an Xfinity mobile app or web portal associated with your camera, you may be able to find the model information there. Log in to your account and navigate to the device settings or camera information section. The model number or name should be listed, along with other relevant details about your camera.

Enter Master Keypad Code
To remove a scene from your Xfinity Camera, you must first understand the role of the master keypad code. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to navigate this process:
In order to make changes to your Xfinity Camera system, you will need access, which is granted by entering the correct Master Keypad Code. This code acts as a security measure, ensuring that only authorized individuals can make adjustments to your camera settings. It is usually a four-digit code that you created during the initial setup of your Xfinity system. If you haven't changed the default Master Code, it might be "1234" or "0000."
Now, to enter the code and access the camera settings:
Locate the Xfinity Home Touchscreen or the Xfinity Home app:
- If you have the Touchscreen: Proceed to the device and unlock it by entering your Master Code. This will grant you access to the system settings.
- If you're using the Xfinity Home app: Open the app on your mobile device and sign in with your Xfinity username and password. Then, navigate to the "Security" tab at the bottom of the screen.
Navigate to the "Cameras" section:
- On the Touchscreen: From the main menu, select "Cameras." This will display a list of all the cameras connected to your Xfinity system.
- On the Xfinity Home app: After accessing the "Security" tab, locate and select the camera for which you want to remove a scene.
Choose the camera you want to edit:
- If you're using the Touchscreen: Scroll through the list of cameras and select the one you want to modify by pressing the corresponding number on the keypad.
- On the app: You should see a list of scenes or clips associated with that camera.
Remove the scene:
- On the Touchscreen: After selecting the camera, you should see an overview of its settings. Locate and select the "Scenes" option, and then choose the scene you want to remove. Press the "Delete" button on the keypad, and then confirm your choice.
- On the app: Find the scene you wish to remove and long-press on it. This should bring up options, including "Delete." Tap on "Delete," and then confirm your action.
Remember that deleting a scene cannot be undone, so ensure you truly want to remove those specific camera settings before proceeding. Always ensure that you keep your Master Keypad Code secure and safely stored, as it is essential for making changes to your Xfinity Camera system.
