Viewing Live Video at the Camera for Focus and Adjustment
Since the camera is 100% digital, but not actually on the computer network, video from the camera must always
be viewed through the hub. However, with the new Solveil generation of cameras, a USB port has been added that
can be connected to a Windows based computer. The camera will be detected by your computer as a generic USB
web cam, allowing an installer to use a tablet or small laptop to focus the camera live on the pole.
There are (4) main methods for viewing video when setting up a Solveil camera system.
Direct at the Camera via USB:
The Solveil cameras are equipped with an internal USB port that allows almost any computer running a full version
of Windows 7 or Windows 8, to view the live video as a generic web cam. While this won’t provide signal strength
feedback, it does allow the camera to be adjusted easily in the field. All you need to do is power on the camera,
and plug your computer’s USB port into the USB port located on the top of the interior main board.
Using a standard Micro USB cord, connect your
computer to the main board of the camera as
shown above. Your computer should take a
few moments to load the driver for the web
cam. You can then use any application that can
show a web cam video feed, such as VLC Player to view
the resulting video from the camera.
[Launch VLC player, select “Open Capture
Device”, select “Direct Show”, and choose
“MicroPower” as the camera]
When the adjustments are made, carefully
remove the cable and securely close the camera
housing, and lock the camera latch.
