CAMERA INSTALLATION
Selecting site:
•
Make sure you have mobile reception.
•
Ensure the Solar Panel can receive ideally 6 hours of
direct sun, with the Camera pointing South and the
Solar Panel facing North.
•
If monitoring a trough, place the camera between 5-
8 meters away to get an overall image.
Installation:
Once you have selected your site, we recommend mounting
your camera on a standard 2” p
ipe. After the pipe has been
fitted you will need the following tools to mount your Camera.
•
12mm Spanner for Mounting Clamps
•
Spanner for M5 Bolts
•
Phillips screwdriver
•
Cable ties and heavy-duty tape (recommended)
1.
Mount the Solar Panel on the top of the post, facing North using
1 x 2” clamp
.
2.
Attach the mounting plate on the back of the Camera mount with the three M5 bolts. Ensure that these bolts are tight.
3.
Mount the Camera on the post using the clamps supplied.
4.
Screw the Antenna into the hole in the Solar Panel bracket. If the Antenna is a directional type (a Yagi), align it now.
5.
Connect the Antenna cable to the Camera cable. Tape up the connection to protect it from the weather and dirt.
6.
To turn the Camera on, plug the other Camera cable into the Solar Panel.
7.
Cover all cables with the spiral wrap
8.
Tidy up any loose cables with cable ties/tape and ensure that everything is secure. If using cable ties, we recommend not
trimming them as this will help discourage birds from landing and chewing the cables.
9.
To check that the Camera has been installed correctly and pointing in the right direction, log onto your uSee Dashboard using
the website or app.

•
Clean the Solar Panel so the battery can fully charge.
•
Clean the front of the Camera with a soft cloth so images are clear.

Inspect all cables for any possible damage or chew marks from birds.
•
Ensure the unit and mount are secure and won’t move in any unpredictable weather
.
