  • Page 4: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION A UFODAS system consists of a number of hardware and software components including cameras, cables, a PoE Injector and software. This document will guide you through the initial physical and software setup of these components. UFODAS camera may be provided mounted on a weatherproof junction box with a sealed Ethernet connector for tripod mount or with mounting hardware appropriate for permanent mounting to a building, pole or tower.
  • Page 5 A minimal system could be nothing more than OTDAU software running on a local computer and using a USB webcam on a window sill. The most complex installations may utilize a combination of up to six OTDAUs with a total of up to 12 cameras and six MSDAUs. The six units may be widely separated with OTDAU computers remote from their associated cameras and an MC at yet another remote site.

  • Page 6: System Power Requirements And Sources

    SYSTEM POWER REQUIREMENTS AND SOURCES Dahua cameras and the Multi-Sensor Data Acquisition Unit (MSDAU) both use Power over Ethernet (PoE) for a power source as well as for the Ethernet signal to a computer or router. The hardware required to do that is a PoE Injector or Injector/Switch. This is a small device that is powered from a 115VAC, 50/60Hz source.

  • Page 8: Tripod Installations

    TRIPOD INSTALLATIONS DAHUA 50230 OR 42212 CAMERA SETUP Your system may have one or more Dahua 50230 30x zoom or 42212 12x zoom cameras. If so, then perform the following steps. Collect the following components: 1. Dahua camera on junction box with tripod mount and Ethernet connector.
  • Page 9 3. The initial height of the camera may be adjusted by spreading the tripod legs and by how far the legs are extended. To extend them, unlatch, extend/retract and re-latch. For stability, it is better to spread the legs to a wider rather than narrower stance and extend the legs if necessary to achieve a desired height.

  • Page 10: Dahua N51Bd22 Camera Setup

    DAHUA N51BD22 CAMERA SETUP If your system may has one or more Dahua N51BD22 bullet cameras perform the following steps. Collect the following components: 7. Dahua camera on junction box with tripod mount and Ethernet connector. 8. Standard camera tripod with 1/4-20 threaded mount 9.
  • Page 11 3. The initial height of the camera may be adjusted by spreading the tripod legs and by how far the legs are extended. To extend them, unlatch, extend/retract and re-latch. For stability, it is better to spread the legs to a wider rather than narrower stance and extend the legs if necessary to achieve a desired height.

  • Page 12: Fixed Camera Installation

    FIXED CAMERA INSTALLATION Installing a camera on a fixed structure such as a building or a tower requres consideration of how the camera will be attached to the structure and how its PoE connection will be made to assure a waterproof connection. A number of junction boxes and adapters are available from ufodap.com.
  • Page 13 A surge suppressor is typically used with shielded Ethernet cable with the ground wire connected to the metal structure, if any, at the MSDAU/Camera end and to a good building or rod ground at the structure end. The MSDAU and Camera Mount enclosures are non-metallic and thus isolate those electronics from ground.

  • Page 14: Msdau Installation

    Adjust the tripod legs for length and spread for the required MSDAU/camera height and for good stability. A tripod-mounted MSDAU with Dahua 50230 camera is shown below. Note that the tripod legs may be extended and spread from vertical to fully horizontal to accommodate a wide range of height and stability requirements.
  • Page 15 Mount share a common pendant mount with an internal 1.5” NPT thread. This mechanical interface allows any of the three Dahua cameras to be mounted on either an MSDAU or the passive Camera Mount. A Dahua 44212 camera mounted on a Camera Mount is shown below.

  • Page 16: Preparing A Camera For Operation

    PREPARING A CAMERA FOR OPERATION The Dahua 50230 and 42212 PTZ cameras are shipped with a protective cap over the internal lens, taped to the sides of the pan-tilt mechanism. This cap must be removed prior to use. 1. Locate the L-shaped star wrench tool provided with the camera.

  • Page 17: Ethernet Cable Connections

    ETHERNET CABLE CONNECTIONS 1. Connect the waterproof Ethernet cable to the connector on the mounting box as shown below. To do this, start with all parts of the connector housing unscrewed. Plug the Ethernet cable connector into the box connector until the latch snaps in. Move the larger connector housing toward the connector and screw it all the way onto the box connector.
  • Page 18 install it, place the PoE injector near your router. For a four-port injector, plug the injector barrel power connector into the rear of the injector. Plug the injector power supply line cord into the injector and plug the line cord into a source of AC power.
  • Page 19 6. There are two options for connecting the camera via the injector to your router – hardwired or by WiFi. If the injector can be located near the router, then plug the other end of the short Ethernet cable into an unused router port. If the camera and injector will be used in a location remote from the router and AC power is available at that location, then a WiFi Extender may be used to provide a wireless connection from the injector to the router.
  • Page 20 8. If the camera will only be used by a computer directly connected to the router, either by an Ethernet cable or by WiFi, the software will address the camera by its native IP address and port number. The label on the camera junction box provides these numbers.

  • Page 21: Setting Up An Installed Camera

    SETTING UP AN INSTALLED CAMERA Before attempting to use the camera with operational software such as OTDAU, it is wise to verify that it and the injector/router are all operating correctly. The best way to do this is to use either Windows Internet Explorer (IE version 10 or before), Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome browser on your PC.
  • Page 22 PTZ buttons to move the camera, zoom and manually adjust focus and iris settings. Follow the OTDAU User’s Guide instructions for the Dahua camera to check or adjust the various camera controls via the Setting tab on the top of the display. All necessary settings have already been adjusted prior to delivery of your system.

  • Page 29 Set a Static IP address as desired. Leave the other setting as is.
  • Page 30 Select a HTTP Port number other than the default of 80. This number will be needed if the camera is later port-forwarded on your router.

  • Page 31: Dual Camera Setup For Triangulation

    DUAL CAMERA SETUP FOR TRIANGULATION Triangulation of a tracked object’s geolocation, altitude, speed and size requires two running copies of OTDAU, each with one or two cameras. Triangulation calculations and display is performed by the Mission Control (MC) software. MC derives the data it needs to do that by communicating with two OTDAUs via the LAN or WAN.
