INTRODUCTION
A UFODAS system consists of a number of hardware and software components
including cameras, cables, a PoE Injector and software. This document will guide you
through the initial physical and software setup of these components.
UFODAS camera may be provided mounted on a weatherproof junction box with a
sealed Ethernet connector for tripod mount or with mounting hardware appropriate for
permanent mounting to a building, pole or tower.
After setting up your hardware system componenents, please refer to the UFODAS
User Guide for help with installing and using the UFDOAS software, Optical Tracking
Data Acquisition Unit (OTDAU) and Mission Control (MC).
A successful installation of UFODAS components including cameras, MSDAUs, and
software involves the following considerations:
Site selection –Verification of usable viewing site lines to the intended field of
view.
Selection of the type of camera(s) for your situation -- Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) or
fixed, optical field width and, if PTZ, maximum zoom.
Equipment mounting methods –Using a tripod for temporary field studies or
when more permanent attachment of the equipment to a structure is not feasible.
Power source selection –Determining if AC power will be provided from a source
near the installation or if the system must be self-sustaining, using, for instance, a
solar/battery inverter power source.
Communication infrastructure –Availability of local or remote routers and internet
connections and whether the OTDAU or MC software will be run on one or more
computers and whether those computers are local or remote.
Communication interfaces –Cable runs, connections to routers or computers
whether by cable or WiFi and IP address setup, forwarding and additional
security measures. A camera could be hardwired to a local computer or router,
remotely connected to a computer or router via an RF range extender or
hardwired to a WiFi extender that communicates with a local router via WiFi.
Protection from lightening-induced voltage surges

A minimal system could be nothing more than OTDAU software running on a local
computer and using a USB webcam on a window sill.
The most complex installations may utilize a combination of up to six OTDAUs with a
total of up to 12 cameras and six MSDAUs. The six units may be widely separated with
OTDAU computers remote from their associated cameras and an MC at yet another
remote site. The internet connections that tie all of these elements together may involve
local or WiFi-connected routers and possibly a dedicated server.
This guide shows how to implement a UFODAS system for any combination of the
above selections.

SYSTEM POWER REQUIREMENTS AND SOURCES
Dahua cameras and the Multi-Sensor Data Acquisition Unit (MSDAU) both use Power
over Ethernet (PoE) for a power source as well as for the Ethernet signal to a computer
or router. The hardware required to do that is a PoE Injector or Injector/Switch. This is
a small device that is powered from a 115VAC, 50/60Hz source. An Ethernet cable
connects the computer or router to the Injector and another connects the Injector to the
camera or a MSDAU. When an MSDAU has an integrally-mounted camera, then
electronics within the MSDAU splits or shares the PoE power/signal cable to provide for
both the MSDAU electronics as well as the camera. Thus, only a single cable is used
with such a system.
115VAC power for an Injector and possibly a computer may simply be from a wall-outlet
in a fixed installation or from a portable source such as a DC-to-AC inverter powered by
an automotive 12VDC source or from a solar/battery system.
Sizing a power source for a remote UFODAS installation is based on the total power
required and run time until recharged if battery storage is included.
The approximate maximum power requirements for UFODAS components are:
50230UNI-A camera –23W max.
42212TNI camera –12W
NK8BR4 camera –12W
MSDAU –4W
PowerBeam Ethernet Bridge –8.5W (from a separate PoE Injector, included)
Thus, for example, the total system power required for a field installation that includes
the panoramic camera, a 50230 camera, an MSDAU and an RF bridge to a remote
router would be 47.5W. Thus this system could run continuously with a 100W solar
panel during the day and continue during the night using battery storage in the GoalZero
Portable Power Station, shown below. The Power Station provides a 396WH battery
and thus could sustain the 47.5W load for up to about 8 hours without recharging.
Additional 33Ah batteries could be added for longer run times.
The Power Station may be recharged by plugging it into an AC outlet or charged in the
field by means of a 100W (or larger) solar panel, as shown below.

TRIPOD INSTALLATIONS
DAHUA 50230 OR 42212 CAMERA SETUP
Your system may have one or more Dahua 50230 30x zoom or 42212 12x zoom
cameras. If so, then perform the following steps.
Collect the following components:
1. Dahua camera on junction box with tripod mount and Ethernet connector.
2. CST/Berger surveyor tripod
3. Planet POE171 single-output, 60W injector or a FSD-504HP four-output, 60W
PoE power injector with power supply and line cord as shown below. Note:
These cameras cannot be used with a POE164 Injector due to its lower, 30W
output power. The POE164 may be used with the N51BD22 camera.
4. Ethernet 6’cable
5. Ethernet 100’, 196’or 300’all-weather cables. Note: The maximum length for
a camera to injector cable is 100 meters or 328 feet.
6. Optional castor cups, set of 4
Setup Procedure:
1. Open the tripod in the selected location. Remove the protective cap on the tripod
threads.
2. Place the camera assembly on top of the tripod and using the knob under the
tripod, screw the tripod treads into the bottom of the camera assembly. The
assembly does not have to be precisely located at the center of the top of the
tripod.

3. The initial height of the camera may be adjusted by spreading the tripod legs and
by how far the legs are extended. To extend them, unlatch, extend/retract and
re-latch. For stability, it is better to spread the legs to a wider rather than
narrower stance and extend the legs if necessary to achieve a desired height.
4. To protect your carpet or flooring, optionally place a castor cup under each of the
three legs.

DAHUA N51BD22 CAMERA SETUP
If your system may has one or more Dahua N51BD22 bullet cameras perform the
following steps.
Collect the following components:
7. Dahua camera on junction box with tripod mount and Ethernet connector.
8. Standard camera tripod with 1/4-20 threaded mount
9. POE164 Injector. This camera may also be used with the Planet POE171
single-output, 60W injector or a FSD-504HP due to their higher, 60W outputs.
10.Ethernet 6’cable
11.Ethernet 100’, 196’or 300’all-weather cables. Note: The maximum length for
a camera to injector cable is 100 meters or 328 feet.
Setup Procedure:
1. Open the tripod in the selected location.
2. Place the camera assembly on top of the tripod and using the knob under the
tripod, screw the tripod treads into the bottom of the camera assembly.
