Hub Installation
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 Installation
Remove the hub and mounting bracket from the box and locate a suitable place to install. This will typically be in
a network closet, however any location 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
tile ceilings, HVAC closets, Air vents, and many other locations depending on the situation.
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 splitter kit
with a and custom power cable (sold separately).
The mounting bracket will attach to the back of the hub, while the
other part will attach to the wall. The hub portion then ‘hangs’ on
the wall bracket, and is secured via the locking screws. (Installer
provides the hardware to attach to the wall). Note that the hub
may also simply be placed on a shelf or flat surface, mounting is not
required.
Note: Do not stand on sides or cover the ventilation ports in any way.
The hub location should have clearance for the cabling, power brick, network cable, etc. to attach without
making sharp bends. It is particularly important not to make sharp bends or “kinks” in the main
antenna cable(s) or it can result in significant RF signal difficulties.
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 active. The 2nd port is not used, and will
not function if connected. (This port is usually covered)
•
Do not stand the hub on the narrow side, or block the ventilation ports in any way.
Once the hub is mounted the antenna cable is routed to an exterior location on the building, where the antenna
may be mounted to achieve line of sight to the camera antennas. To avoid damaging the fragile connection cables
between the hub and diplexer, we will normally attach the antenna cable last, after the hub installation process has
been completed.
NOTE: Ethernet Port
(2) is NOT used.
