Installing Your Camera
1. Install a Mounting Bracket (optional)
a. Install a Tripod Adapter.
b. Install a Desktop Mount.
Thread the cables through the desktop mount and out the cable
exit slot. Connect the cables as per steps 2 and 4 before attaching
the mount to the camera.
The desktop mount is not used if using a tripod adapter.
2. Connect the interface Cable to the Camera
3. Connect the Camera to the interface Card
Plug the USB3 cable into the host controller or hub.
Note: Always connect the USB3 cable to the camera before
connecting to the host controller.
4. Plug in the GPIO connector
GPIO is used for power, trigger, and strobe.
The wiring harness must be compatible with
a Hirose 12-pin female GPIO connector.
5. Confirm Successful Installation
From the Start menu, select All Programs > Point Grey Research > PGR
Ladybug > LadybugCapPro.exe.
a. The Welcome dialog opens, and it will display a choice of starting a
camera, or loading a previously recorded stream file. Select Start
Camera.
b. The Select Camera dialog opens. This dialog allows you to view a list of
all the currently connected Ladybug cameras, and select one to control.
c. Ensure the camera is identified as USB3. If the camera is identified as
USB2 it could indicate a bad cable connection or incorrect driver and the
camera will not function properly.
d. To begin grabbing images, select a camera and click OK.

The tripod adapter attaches to the
bottom of the camera.
Note: the tripod adapter uses a 3/8"
mounting hole which requires an
adapter to fit a standard tripod.
The tripod adapter is not used
if using a desktop mount.
Plug the USB3 cable into
the camera and secure with
the cable jack screws. Using
jack screws ensures a
reliable connection and the
pressure of the seal helps
to keep moisture out of the
camera.
