Focusing the cameras:
Cameras are already focused at 2.5 m distance.
To focus cameras at a different distance, onsite manual focus is need-
ed. You should focus the cameras in the field, but you can also focus
them in the office, if you know the exact distance between the iME
-
TOS CropVIEW® and the object of interest. The quality of the images
captured by the camera depends on the precision of focus. Use the
application PI CropView Focus and follow the process described below:
1. Install Pessl Instruments
CropVIEW Focus application
(download it
here:
docs.metos.at/iMetosDownload
).
2. Connect iMETOS CropVIEW® to
the PC: unplug the control unit con-
nector (red circle), connect iMETOS
CropVIEW® to your PC with USB cable
(yellow circle) and place the jumper in
position J1 (blue circle).
3. Run and configure CropVIEW
Focus application.
4. Use Focus tab in CropVIEW Focus application to focus the cameras
to your object.
Detailed description on how to focus cameras can be found on
