Before you begin, if this CheckVideo device will be monitored by a
central station, please contact the central station for a username and
password on their existing CheckVideo account. The central station will
add the device to their account. If this device will be self-monitored,
you will be creating a CheckVideo account in Step Five.

Camera Placement
Fig. 1 -
MORE EFFECTIVE:
Cameras
are at a 15 to 45 degree downward
tilt and are mounted 8 to 20 feet high.
Fig. 2 -
LESS EFFECTIVE:
Cameras are
directly overhead (90 degrees) or
parallel to (0 degrees) the target
To optimize event detection, the cameras you use with CheckVideo
should be placed as follows:
• HEIGHT: Each camera must be installed 8 to 20 feet off the
ground.
• DISTANCE: The distance between camera and target depends
on your camera’s focal length. For example, for a 3.6 mm lens,
if you are mainly detecting people, the distance between the
camera and the people you wish to detect should be 10 to 40
feet. If you are primarily concerned with detecting vehicles, the
range is 20 to 60 feet. See the
CheckVideo Camera Placement
Guide
for more details and for additional guidelines on
improving your camera placement.

Step Three
Gateway Setup
1. Attach the antennas to the Franklin Module. The antenna with
the white stripe at the base should be on the left when looking
at the front of the device (Fig. 3).
2. Extend the tips of the antennas outward from the Module.
There should be a good distance between the tips, but not so
great that they are flat (Fig. 4).
3. Connect the USB cable between the USB port on the Gateway
back panel and the USB port on the front of the Franklin
Module (Fig. 5).
4. Connect each camera’s video cable to a camera port on the
back of the Gateway.
5. Plug in the power to the Franklin Module (12V DC, 1A).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the Gateway’s power supply (which
is larger) to power up the Franklin module. Doing so may
seriously damage the module.
6. Plug in the power to the Gateway (9V, 1.66A).
7. Wait a few minutes for the power light on the front of the
Gateway to flash rapidly.
8. When the flashing slows to one second per pulse, proceed to
the next step in the process (see reverse).
