Before You Start
Ensure that the room is suitable for the RoboTRAK system, and that all the required elements of the
installation are present. This section covers the requirements for a successful installation.
Note
Copy the default hostname from the label on the bottom of the camera, and keep this information in a place
where it will be available to anyone who needs to work with the camera's web interface. This information is
required to access the camera for initial configuration, or after a factory reset.
Network Requirements
n
Network connections for both cameras
n
Hostname resolution
Additional Equipment
Side-by-side displays – The team or individual tuning the RoboTRAK system will need to see the IP stream
from the IR camera and the live video feed from the video camera at the same time. The display for the
IR camera is not needed after the system is configured and fine-tuned.
Tablet or other device with wifi access – If you do not have an assistant for the tuning process, you will
need to be able to work with the RoboTRAK IR camera's web interface while moving around the room.
Lighting and IR
Note
The RoboTRAK IR camera works best in an IR-sterile environment. Natural lighting and halogen lamps
produce enough stray IR to overwhelm the system.
n
If the room has windows, blackout curtains or blinds are required - standard
window blinds admit enough IR at the edges to keep the IR camera from
identifying the tracking lanyard.
n
Fluorescent or LED lighting is preferred.
