Page 2: How To Use This Guide
Experienced MicroPower installers can install cameras and equipment quickly and efficiently, however due to the highly efficient nature of the camera system, the MicroPower equipment setup differs from conventional IP surveillance devices. To quickly help System Integrator / Installers familiarize themselves with the MicroPower product line best practices and troubleshooting, MicroPower offers a variety of training options. -

Page 5: Micropower System Overview
MicroPower Technologies has developed an extreme, low power, camera and radio architecture that has been designed from the ground up to be solar powered. When combined with the MicroPower Trust Linx™ wireless protocol, reliable long-range digital CCTV video can be transmitted while consuming less than 10% of the electrical power that most conventional wireless IP cameras consume. -

NOTE: When settign up a camera, you should enter the IP address of each Solveil camera at that time. Do not leave the field blank or use the same IP address that is assigned to the hub.

Page 7: Getting Started - First Steps
Getting Started - First Steps Site Survey A well thought out plan for the location of the hub, hub antenna(s) and camera(s) is a crucial step to ensuring that the entire system will provide reliable long-term service, and integrate effectively with a new or preexisting video management system. -
Page 8: Solar Considerations
Note: As an installer, the best way to identify the charging rate, battery levels, and signal performance, is to use our the hub’s built-in HTML interface to determine if the system is performing well or not in a given installation. MicroPower Technologies 1-877-536-0128 | micropower.com... -
Page 9: What You Will Need
Method to Mount the Camera and Hub to Desired Location MicroPower supplies a camera bracket, a solar panel bracket, and an antenna bracket that can be mounted to a pole. Given the variety of mounting possibilities and locations, the hardware to attach these brackets to the desired surfaces are not included. -
Page 10: Hub Installation
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. -
Page 12: Hub Antenna Assembly And Installation
If the antennas are not mounted identically, they will be polarized off-axis, and thus be prevented from effectively communicating with each other. Off-axis antennas, very poor communication. Antennas oriented (polarized) the same, good communication MicroPower Technologies 1-877-536-0128 | micropower.com... -
Page 13: Hub System Setup
Hub System Setup Accessing The Hub Default IP Address The hub has a default IP address of: 192.168.0.100. To initially communicate with the hub, connect an Ethernet cable directly from the hub to a laptop or desktop PC. A crossover cable may be required, however most modern computers have auto-sensing Ethernet ports that make this unnecessary. -
Page 14: Changing Rf Channels
Adding Cameras On MicroPower systems, individual cameras are never actually part of your computer network. Cameras are identified to the hub by the MAC address that is assigned to the camera. This MAC address can be located on a sticker that can be found on the exterior and the interior of the camera. -

box next to it, and click “Remove”, then reboot the hub. On rare occasions, a test camera remains installed from the testing done during manufacturing. 2. To add a camera type the camera MAC address into the box provided. (If your camera is powered on, you may see it indicated as a choice in a pull down menu) 3. -
Page 16: Camera Configuration
For most security applications in areas such as parking lots, 5fps is quite sufficient. However some analytic packages, or just personal preference may dictate that the frame rate be set higher. MicroPower Technologies 1-877-536-0128 | micropower.com... - Page 17 Note: The above digram is from a (1) camera system. More or less cameras will display (scroll down) depending on your installation. Modulation: (This is the exact same setting that was on the previous tab. It’s inclusion here is just as a convenience.) Modulation is the speed of the communication that video is sent from the cameras to the hub.

Page 19: System Status Tab
Firmware Update: In the event that there is a firmware update available for your camera, it will be indicated here. Clicking the button will push the update out to the camera via the wireless link. (You do not have to visit the camera in person) Please call MicroPower Technologies with any questions prior to updating your cameras. -
Page 20: System Administration
System Logs Daily Sync: If the hub has internet access, checking this box will instruct the system to upload the log data nightly to the MicroPower offices. This is useful in the event of a problem, MPT will already have the previous nights logs on hand for review and analysis. -
Page 21: Camera Kit Assembly & Installation
Camera Kit Assembly & Installation Next we will cover how the cameras and camera components are assembled and installed. Some installers find it easier to do the assembly process on multiple cameras at the same time, and bring the cameras to the pole “ready to bolt on”. -

For the purposes of this document however, we will start at the top with the solar panel, and move our way down the pole. If the installer has any questions or concerns, feel free to snap some pictures, and call into MicroPower support for advice, we are always happy to assist. (877-536-0128) -
Page 26: Antenna Mounting
The antenna included in both the camera and receiver hub kit is an 8dBi 50 Ohm directional antenna with about a 90° Field of View. It should be mounted and oriented as the sticker on the back indicates, with the plastic front facing your desired target. MicroPower Technologies 1-877-536-0128 | micropower.com... -
Page 27: Camera Mounting
Camera Mounting During the assembly process, you’ve already attached the rotating portion of the camera bracket to the camera housing. This leaves the lightweight camera arm bracket to be easily attached to the desired mounting surface. 1. Use the appropriate hardware to mount the bracket to your desired surface. This may require stainless steel hose clamps (easiest and quickest, particularly for large poles), screws (good for flat wood surfaces), or perhaps stainless steel “U”... -
Page 28: Powering On The Camera
Battery cables connect together to power on the camera. • Standard Non-IR cameras have (1) power connector. • Cameras equipped with IR Illuminators will have (2) power connectors, both of which must be connected for reliable long-term operation. MicroPower Technologies 1-877-536-0128 | micropower.com... -
Page 29: Focusing And Adjusting The Camera
Focusing and Adjusting The Camera The system uses common “CS-Mount” threaded, mega-pixel CCTV lenses. Standard MicroPower cameras come equipped with either a 2.8-11mm IR corrected lens, or a 10-40mm IR corrected lens. All the lenses are equipped with a manual iris control, that in most circumstances, should always be opened up completely to offer the best low light performance. -
Page 30: Viewing Live Video At The Camera For Focus And Adjustment
[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. - Page 31 Remote Desktop Access (preferred): The second method often proves to be the most useful and versatile. It requires that you have a computer such as a laptop that is capable of communicating with the hub. This computer will also need an Internet connection, either from from the host network, or, via a wireless devices such as a cellular to WiFi “MyFi”...
