Product Training

Experienced MicroPower installers can install cameras and equipment quickly and eciently, however due to

the highly ecient nature of the camera system, the MicroPower equipment setup diers from convenonal IP

surveillance devices. To quickly help System Integrator / Installers familiarize themselves with the MicroPower

product line best pracces and troubleshoong, MicroPower oers a variety of training opons. The quickest and

easiest are the short series of training videos that may be viewed on-line through the website “Partner Portal”. For

more informaon on the training resources available, please call the customer support line or visit our website.

How To Use This Guide

This guide is setup in the same sequenal order as a camera installaon would occur. This will cover in detail all

aspects of the installaon and conguraon of a MicroPower camera system. We highly recommend watching

our series of on-line training videos. These videos will provide a strong foundaon and understanding of how the

system works, and ulmately making this informaon easier to understand.

MicroPower System Overview

How It Works

MicroPower Technologies has developed an extreme, low power, camera and radio architecture that has been

designed from the ground up to be solar powered. When combined with the MicroPower Trust Linx™ wireless

protocol, reliable long-range digital CCTV video can be transmied while consuming less than 10% of the electrical

power that most convenonal wireless IP cameras consume. Ulizing this patented technology, the MicroPower

wireless video cameras can remain transming and fully operaonal for up to ve days in complete darkness,

relying on only the internal rechargeable baeries. Overcoming most weather condions without any performance

loss or need for maintenance. Addionally, the TrustLinx radio technology reliably coexists with other wireless

technologies such as tradional Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/a/n), while reliably transming high-quality digital video to

distances up to 1/2 mile with the standard antennas.

MicroPower’s technology eliminates the need for trenching and/or long cable runs to remote outdoor cameras,

thus signicantly reducing installaon me and labor costs, allowing cost eecve remote video coverage in

locaons where surveillance was never before possible.

A maximum of (4) wireless cameras

may be simultaneously linked to a

single hub (Cameras must be within

range, and have good Line of Sight

between the antennas). A total of

30fps are available to be shared

between all the cameras connected

to a given hub.

The Solveil Hub acts as the only

data connecon point to which a

Video Management System (VMS),

Network Video Recorder (NVR) or Hybrid Digital

Video Recorder (DVR) can communicate.

Just like any convenonal IP CCTV camera, the

standard Ethernet TCP/IP video data from the

hub may be transmied through virtually any

convenonal broadband or wired network technology

such as LAN, DSL modem, cable modem, cellular

modem, mesh network, wireless back-haul etc. to

reach your chosen VMS soluon.

The standard h.264 video streams generated by the

hub are available to the VMS via RTSP.

The MicroPower Solveil System operates on 2.4GHz, but is not using convenonal WiFi communicaons (though it

does use the same frequencies, and channel number designaons). The camera system uses two bands within a

selected 2.4GHz channel. First is the “Payload Band” also referred to as “Wide Band”. It will occupy channels 2, 6,

or 11 on the 2.4GHz spectrum. The wide band communicaon is used to deliver the video payload one-way, from

the camera to the hub. Next, the hub species a “Narrow Band” or “Command Band”, which is a small subdivision

of the channel used for the wide band communicaons. This is where the command level communicaons occur

between the hub and the camera(s). These terms “Wide Band” and “Narrow Band” are used throughout this

document.

Hub Connecon Method

RTSP Streaming

The hub communicates to your VMS using h.264 RTSP streaming. In order to operate correctly, an IP address will

be needed for the hub, plus, and addional IP address will be ulized to represent each camera on the hub.

To access the individual video streams, one will use the unique IP of the camera, while the trailing URL remains

consistent. (See illustraon on right)

In the event of a camera outage, the IP address represenng that camera can be disabled aer a user dened

period of me. This allows a VMS system to detect the camera loss (IP is no longer accessible, and can no longer be

pinged) and send the appropriate alerts or scripted acons.

Note that the individual cameras are never actually a part of a given computer network. The IP addresses are

operated and maintained 100% inside the hub, and only represent the camera video streams.

NOTE: When segn up a camera, you should enter the IP address of each Solveil camera at that me. Do not

leave the eld blank or use the same IP address that is assigned to the hub.

Geng Started - First Steps

Site Survey

A well thought out plan for the locaon of the hub, hub antenna(s) and camera(s) is a crucial step to ensuring that

the enre system will provide reliable long-term service, and integrate eecvely with a new or preexisng video

management system.

RF Consideraons

Radio Frequency Line of Sight (RFLoS) diers from

visual line of sight. When dealing with RF, if you

imagine a laser beam between the two antennas, this

needs to be unobstructed, plus an addional space

around the beam. In most situaons, the addional

clearance needed is “football” shaped, and (at 1/2mile)

will ideally be at least 13 feet in diameter around at

the center point between the antennas. (100yrds

needs about 4.5’ min. clearance) This accommodates

the system’s Fresnel Zone requirements.

With unobstructed line-of-sight between the hub

and camera antennas, the standard Solveil system

will reliably transmit video up to 1/2 mile. Obstacles

such as trees, buildings, fences, and other objects

will greatly impact wireless performance in terms of

maximum transmission distance, data rate speeds, and

reliability. While a wall or tree may not cause any

signicant performance impact at very short ranges

(under 20yrds), it will likely completely block a signal

at longer distances. Addionally, for reliable extremely

short-range performance, the minimum distance

between the hub antenna and the Camera antenna

should be 25 feet with the RF output level set to the

lowest seng unless signal aenuators are installed.

It is also a good idea whenever possible to have an idea

of the ambient RF trac with regard to the installaon

locaon. Whenever possible, congested channels

should be avoided in favor of less ulized frequencies.

Use of RF scanning tools, such as the MetaGeek

“WiSpy” device, are strongly encouraged.

If obstrucons are present, the distance between the

antennas is too great, or area ambient RF condions too crowded, then the video streams may fail to establish a

link, experience dropouts and/or operate at a reduced frame rate.

Example of good, open RF line of sight.

Example of very challenging / poor RF line of site condions. Note the metal

surface low, and the buildings on the le and right side that can aenuate the

RF signal.

Solar Consideraons

Since the wireless camera is powered by solar energy, the crical impact of DIRECT sun direcon and shadows on

the solar panel cannot be overstated.

In the Northern hemisphere, when selecng a locaon for the wireless camera, the solar panel must be mounted

on the SOUTH side of a pole or structure, and be facing SOUTH.

In the Southern Hemisphere (below the equator), the direconal consideraons will be reversed.

The solar panels should also be installed at an opmum angle to capture the maximum amount of solar energy

possible. In general, the Southern US should angle the panel about 35-45 degrees from the pole, Mid US about 25

- 35 degrees from the pole, and with the Northern US / Canada, 10 - 20 degrees from the pole (solar glass almost

enrely facing the horizon)

Areas with insucient direct sunlight will eventually result in camera outages, though it may take from 5 days to

several weeks to occur. Examples of such areas might be:

• Mulple solar panels on a pole, spaced too close together, or with other equipment on the pole creang

shadows on the solar panel glass

• Panels mounted underneath a tree canopy or foliage which does not receive adequate sunlight

• Installaons next to a tall building that cast a shadow over the camera during the day. (Parcularly during the

most important mid-day charging period)

• Solar panel mounted under a roof or roof edge that does not allow enough direct sunlight

Keep in mind that the cameras include

a baery backup system capable

of operang the camera 24 hours a

day, for over ve days in complete

darkness. If the system is receiving

some light, but at levels that are

below the “break even” point, the

operaon me may be potenally

extended for weeks before a camera is

nally no longer capable of remaining

operaonal 24/7. Thus, it is important

to be aware that a camera may

appear to operate ne in poor lighng

condions, when in fact it is slowly

discharging over a long period of me.

As this is a solar powered camera, sucient dayme lighng is absolutely crical to the long-term successful

operaon of the system. Addionally, making sure there are no shadows cast on the panel during the day also

plays a crical role to success. Solar panels, by their nature, are sensive to and negavely impacted by shadows

(even very small ones) on the panel, these shadows may also come from other equipment mounted on a pole, such

as wiring, other solar panels, or mounng hardware. Some of the most common dicules that occur in the eld

can usually be aributed directly to solar panel shadowing.

Note: As an installer, the best way to idenfy the charging rate, baery levels, and signal performance, is to use our

the hub’s built-in HTML interface to determine if the system is performing well or not in a given installaon.

What You Will Need

Equipment

Computer / Soware

• Computer: Windows™ 7 or Windows 8 tablet, or small laptop is helpful for focusing.

• A web browser (Firefox, or Chrome work best)

• Oponal: Laptop with wireless internet access (local WiFi or Cellular WiFi) that can be le temporarally

connected to the hub for live performance monitoring via a internet enabled smart phone.

Hand Tools

• Baery Powered Screwdriver or Impact Driver

• 1/4” and 10mm socket wrench (easiest if aached to baery powered driver)

• Zip Ties

• Pliers

• Magnec compass and Protractor (a smart phone with a compass and angle detecon will also work)

Means To Access Camera Locaon and Hub Locaon

• Ladder / Bucket Truck / Manli “cherry picker”

• Safety Harness, etc.

• Roof Access to get the hub antenna outside and elevated to achieve LOS (Line of Sight) to the cameras

Method to Mount the Camera and Hub to Desired Locaon

MicroPower supplies a camera bracket, a solar panel bracket, and an antenna bracket that can be mounted to

a pole. Given the variety of mounng possibilies and locaons, the hardware to aach these brackets to the

desired surfaces are not included. This means the installer will need to supply:

• Screws (oponal to aach hub to wall, and/or camera, antenna and solar panel bracket to pole / surface)

• Stainless Steel hose clamps (to aach solar panel and camera to pole)

• Antenna mast or surface to mount/aach the hub antenna to.

Network Access

The hub is an IP device and will require both power and LAN/Network access in order for the video to stream to

an NVR and/or remote locaon. Generally this is done via a house LAN, but may also be some other method of

network access such as a back haul radio, cellular device, or other IP Ethernet network technology.

VMS (Video Management System)

The hub generally communicates on the LAN to a local NVR (Network Video Recorder) for recording and archiving

of video. The NVR will then typically communicate via the Internet or LAN/WAN for remote viewing and

monitoring. However the actual network conguraon tends to vary greatly from site to site.

The VMS used, needs to be capable of recording a basic RTSP h.264 video streams from the hub in order to be

compable.

A complete list of compable VMS plaorms with integraon instrucons are available on the MicroPower website.

Hub Installaon

At the center of the MicroPower camera system is the Helios Hub. This is the “brain” of the system that

communicates with the video cameras, and produces the video data streams that the VMS system will record and

display.

Hub Assembly and Installaon

Remove the hub and mounng bracket from the box and locate a suitable place to install. This will typically be in

a network closet, however any locaon that is semi-climate controlled with access to Ethernet networking, power,

and where the antenna cable can be routed outside, will be suitable. Customers have mounted hubs inside drop

le ceilings, HVAC closets, Air vents, and many other locaons depending on the situaon.

It is also possible to power the hub via high power PoE (802.3at)

however doing so requires the use of an 802.3at PoE splier kit

with a and custom power cable (sold separately).

The mounng bracket will aach to the back of the hub, while the

other part will aach to the wall. The hub poron then ‘hangs’ on

the wall bracket, and is secured via the locking screws. (Installer

provides the hardware to aach to the wall). Note that the hub

may also simply be placed on a shelf or at surface, mounng is not

required.

Note: Do not stand on sides or cover the venlaon ports in any way.

The hub locaon should have clearance for the cabling, power brick, network cable, etc. to aach without

making sharp bends. It is parcularly important not to make sharp bends or “kinks” in the main

antenna cable(s) or it can result in signicant RF signal dicules.

Important:

• The antenna will connect via a small black strain relief cable. Please use this to prevent stress

damage to the antenna cable or the SMA antenna port on the hub.

• The Ethernet network port closest to the power plug is acve. The 2nd port is not used, and will

not funcon if connected. (This port is usually covered)

• Do not stand the hub on the narrow side, or block the venlaon ports in any way.

Once the hub is mounted the antenna cable is routed to an exterior locaon on the building, where the antenna

may be mounted to achieve line of sight to the camera antennas. To avoid damaging the fragile connecon cables

between the hub and diplexer, we will normally aach the antenna cable last, aer the hub installaon process has

been completed.

NOTE: Ethernet Port

(2) is NOT used.
