Seng up wireless connecvity between Solo and your router is easy because there’s an Archersh Solo Wi-Fi Wizard that does the work for you. Before the Wizard can begin, you need to connect the Ethernet connector to your wireless router and then connect the power connector to the power supply (Figure 2). Next, plug in the power supply.Wait for the small LED light on the boom of Solo to turn green before proceeding to the next page. It may take several minutes for the light to turn green. Note: The LED light on the Solo device uses dierent color and blink paerns to tell you what it’s doing. For a summary of all the dierent LED states, see Appendix B on page 24.Step 1 Add Solo to Your Wireless Router page 03Archersh Solo Installaon GuideFigure 2 Solo device’s power and Ethernet connectorsEthernet connectorpower connector LED
Step 1 Add Solo to Your Wireless Router (continued) page 04Archersh Solo Installaon GuideFigure 3 Archersh Devices detected by the Wi-Fi Setup WizardFigure 4 Creang a password for your SoloOn a PC, go to www.myarchersh.com/solosetup to download the Solo Wi-Fi Setup Wizard. Make sure you’re saving the le (Solo_WIFI_Cong.exe) in the same local network you plan to install Solo on. Double click the le to run it. Note: If your Windows rewall or other security applicaon asks if you want to run “SoloCongWizard” you’ll need to agree. Once the Wizard has launched, click the Start buon.The Wizard takes a few moments to detect all Solo devices that are connected to your router.Select the Solo device you wish to congure for Wi-Fi (Figure 3). If you have mulple Solo devices, you can see which device is which by matching the four digits displayed at the end of the Solo device name with the last four digits in the device serial number (included in the Geng Started insert).Click the Congure Selected Device buon.Now you’ll need to provide and conrm a password for the Solo device (Figure 4). You’ll need this password if you ever need to go back and edit the device’s Wi-Fi conguraon at a later me.Click OK.
Step 1 Add Solo to Your Wireless Router (continued) page 05Archersh Solo Installaon GuideNext, you’ll be prompted for a Wireless Network Name, Wireless Network Key, and Wireless Network Key Type (Figure 5). The Wireless Network Name should be the name of your wireless router. The Wireless Network Key is the password you use to access your router (it may even be wrien on a label on your router). If you don’t have this informaon, you may have to ask your service provider.There are several available Wireless Network Key types, each corresponding to a level of security. These include WPA (most commonly used), WPA2, and WEP. If this eld is empty and you don’t know which type of network key your router uses, you can test each one of these opons unl one of them works. Note: If using WEP (e.g., you are a Verizon FiOS customer using your router’s default sengs), you may need to click the Hex Key checkbox. Click OK.If the wireless connecvity is successfully established, the Wizard will display a Congratulaons message and display a snapshot of whatever’s currently in front of your Solo device (Figure 6). At this point, the LED light on the Solo device will be green.Before proceeding to the next step, disconnect both the Ethernet and power connecons.Figure 5 Wireless network sengsFigure 6 Wi-Fi Setup Wizard compleon
Step 2 Assemble Solo page 06Archersh Solo Installaon GuideFigure 7 MicroSD card inserted into the Solo deviceThere are a few steps you need to perform to physically put Solo together, including inserng a MicroSD card for recording and aaching the mount.Before inserng the MicroSD card, make sure that the Solo device does not have power. Open the MicroSD slot cover (“door”) of the Solo device and insert the MicroSD card into the card slot as shown in Figure 8. When inserng the card, gently push it straight in unl it clicks into place. Be sure to insert it with the underside of the card facing the front of the Solo device (“upside down”) as shown in Figure 7. Close the door.Now Solo will be able to record connuous video to the MicroSD card. Once you’re done with the installaon process, you’ll be able to view this recorded video on the Archersh SmartPortal.door
Step 2 Assemble Solo (continued) page 07Archersh Solo Installaon GuideFigure 8 Aaching the Solo device to the mount with the rotang jointThe Solo device comes with a mount for installing it on a wall, ceiling, or shelf. Aaching the device to its mount requires some basic assembly, illustrated in Figure 8 on the right.• First remove the nut and stud from the rotang joint to expose the screw inside the rotang joint (Figure 8A).• Using your sloed screwdriver, ghten the screw in order to aach the rotang joint to Solo (Figure 8B)• Finally, slide the mount arm into the rotang joint and secure the stud into pace with the nut (Figure 8C). The head of the stud should reset in the side of the rotang joint that is recessed.Next, assemble the mount base. To connect the power cables within the mount base, rst remove the Ethernet adapter from inside the mount base. Gently pull the rubber gasket away from the base. Press the cable aached to Solo down through the gasket’s le-hand slot and then press the power supply cable down through the right-hand slot (Figure 9A). Connect the two cables inside the base (Figure 9B).You will aach the mount base to the mount when you screw the mount in place (described on page 10).If Solo is going to be wirelessly connected to the Internet, press the tab into the center slot to close it (Figure 10) and then skip ahead to Step 3 on page 9.If you will be using a cabled Ethernet connecon, proceed to Step 2-1 on the next page.Figure 9 Assembling the mount baseA How cables are placed into the mount base’s rubber gasketB Power cables connected within the mount baseFigure 10 Unused le-hand slot, with tabABCrubber gasketcenter slotpower cablemount basecable aached to Soloempty slot and tabrotang joint rotang jointscrewnutstud
Step 2-1 Assemble Mount Base for Ethernet (optional) page 08Archersh Solo Installaon GuideFigure 11 Ethernet cables connected via the Ethernet adapter within the mount baseAlthough Solo is designed to work over a wireless network, you’re free to have it permanently connected to your router over a dedicated Ethernet cable. In such a case, you’ll need to have the Ethernet cable coming out of the Solo device to connect to the Ethernet cable leading to your router.If you followed the instrucons on the previous page, you’ve already placed the Solo cable through the le-hand slot in the mount base and connected its power connector to the power supply.To connect the Solo cable’s Ethernet connector to the Ethernet cable leading to your router, press the router’s Ethernet cable down through the center slot. Then insert the Ethernet adaptor into the mount base and connect both Ethernet connectors to either side (Figure 11).
Solo is a very smart and exible device, but you can help it work, and make your own viewing experience beer, by installing Solo where it can have a clear view of the things you want to see. So we recommend following these guidelines when you select a locaon for your Archersh system.DESCRIPTION üWI-FI CONNECTIVITYConrm that the Solo device can receive a signal from your wireless router. To do this, plug it into a nearby power outlet. If you see a green light on the Solo LED within two minutes, there’s a wireless signal.SOLO PLACEMENT Solo device should be installed 8 to 20 feet above the ground and lted downward at an angle between 15° and 45° (Figure 12). It should be posioned 10 to 40 feet from people, or 20 to 60 feet from vehicles.DIRECTION OF MOTIONPeople and vehicles should normally move from le-to-right or right-to-le in the camera view (Figure 13A), not directly toward or away (Figure 13B).IMAGE SHARPNESS Maintain a clear camera image. Don’t point the camera through a window pane or screen, and avoid placing it in condions that would cause the camera lens to fog up or accumulate water droplets.CAMERA ORIENTATIONObjects in the camera view should appear upright. In other words, the Solo device should not be rotated clockwise or counter-clock-wise.SECURE MOUNTING Solo device should be securely mounted.ADEQUATE, EVEN LIGHTINGLighng should be constant and sucient to read a newspaper in the camera view where people or vehicles appear.PHYSICAL OBSTRUCTIONSPhysical obstrucons or sources of constant moon (e.g., moving doors, ags waving in the wind, etc.) are not in the camera view.REFLECTIONS, GLARE, OTHER LIGHTING EFFECTSReecve surfaces (e.g., mirrors, window panes, water, or polished oors) or bright lights (e.g., headlight glare, direct sunlight) are not directed at the camera.Step 3 Install Solo page 09Archersh Solo Installaon GuideFigure 12 Camera AngleA MORE EFFECTIVE - Cameras are at 15 to 45 degree downward ltB LESS EFFECTIVE - Cameras are direct-ly overhead (90 degrees) or parallel to (0 degrees) the targetFigure 13 Target Direcon of MoonA MORE EFFECTIVE - A target traveling from le to rightB LESS EFFECTIVE - A target traveling directly toward the cameraFor more informaon and specic examples, go to www.myarchersh.com/solosetup and review the Camera Placement Guide. At that site you can also watch a short video on camera setup.
You can aach Solo to a ceiling, wall, or shelf as seen in Figure 14. Noce that in each example the lens is pointed down at about a 45 degree angle.Once the Solo device is assembled with its mount, you can adjust the direcon Solo is pointed (Figure 15, le). To do so loosen a nut, change the Solo device posion, and then re-ghten the nut. Then use the three screws to aach the Solo mount to the desired surface. The screws must pass through both the mount and mount base (see Figure 15, right).Make sure that the cabling coming out of the mount base is pointed downward.Step 3 Install Solo (continued) page 10Archersh Solo Installaon GuideFigure 15 Adjustment nuts (le); using three screws to aach mount and mount base to surfaceFigure 14 Shelf (le), wall (center), and ceiling (right) mounng posionsnuts screws

The last step in registraon is to set up live video. Once this step is done, you’ll be able to see live video from your Archersh Solo in the Archersh SmartPortal.On the Inial Logon and Registraon Wizard page, Congure Live Video secon (Figure 27), you’ll see networking informaon about your Archersh Solo. For live video to work, port forwarding needs to be set up. Archersh can automacally set up port forwarding if your router supports Universal Plug and Play, or UPnP. Just set UPnP to On in the drop down opon.Once you have turned UPnP on, click the Complete Registraon buon (Figure 28) to complete the process. If your router doesn’t support UPnP, select O and refer to “Appendix A: Port Forwarding Conguraon” on page 23.Once the registraon process is complete, the Congure Device screen appears. Proceed to Step 5.Step 4-4 Set Up Live Video page 16Archersh Solo Installaon GuideFigure 27 Inial Logon and Registraon Wizard page, Congure Live Video seconFigure 28 Installaon Wizard buon that completes the registraon process
Congratulaons, you’ve just completed the Inial Installaon and Registraon process. Now that Solo has been installed and acvated, this next step will help you to personalize your Archersh system. You’ll be able to tell Archersh what you want it to watch for.First, Archersh will check to see if there are any updates for your Solo device. This process should only take a few moments. Once complete, you’ll see a conrmaon message (Figure 29). Click the Congure Device buon.On the Congure Device page, Select Device secon (Figure 30), choose the Archersh device to customize from the drop down menu. Note: If you wish to change the name of the Archersh device, enter the new name in the Update Device eld and click the Update Now link. For the Select Video Resoluon opon, select Standard for both Live Video/DVR Recording and Event Clips. This seng will give you good video quality while opmizing storage. Click the Set Up Zones for My Camera buon to proceed to the next step (Figure 31).Step 5 Customize Your Systempage 17Archersh Solo Installaon GuideFigure 30 Congure Device page, Select Device seconFigure 31 Installaon Wizard buon that will direct you to the next stepFigure 29 Device Update page: Device up-to-date conrmaon
On the Congure Device page, Set Up Zones secon, you can select up to three specic areas, or zones, within the camera’s view for Archersh to monitor. Zones help Archersh focus on what maers to you.For example, Figure 32 shows a camera’s eld of view—an entryway to a small business oce. The business owner only wants to know when a person tampers with some bins placed in the entryway. He doesn’t care about acvity in any other part of this camera view.It’s easy to create and set the shape of the area you want Archersh to monitor. Don’t worry about making a mistake. You can always adjust or erase any zone and start over! • To create a zone, click the Edit radio buon. Then use your mouse to draw the zone by clicking the le mouse buon wherever you want to dene a corner of the zone.• The rst point you create will be colored green; each subsequent point will be blue.• When drawing the zone, keep in mind that it should cover the enre area where Archersh should watch for a person, vehicle, or moving object. It shouldn’t cover areas where you don’t care about acvity. In the example depicted in Figure 33, the zone covers the area around the bins placed in the entryway. This area covers not just the oor in front of the bins, but the area above them to account for the height of people walking.• To delete a point of the zone, click it. To move a point, click and drag it to the new locaon. To create an addional point between two exisng points, SHIFT+click the point that was placed rst.• To complete the zone, click the Congure Events buon, or the Edit radio buon to set up another zone. A completed zone shows a single red point at the zone’s start point (Figure 33B).• To completely erase a zone and start again from scratch, click the red point. If you want to edit the dimensions of the zone, SHIFT+click the red point. Note: If you move or reposion a camera, you must click the Refresh Image buon to see the new camera view and save your sengs.Step 5-1 Set Up ZonesFigure 32 Congure Device page, Set Up Zones seconpage 18Archersh Solo Installaon GuideFigure 33 Drawing a zoneA A zone, dened by six end points (rst point is green; other points are blue)B A completed zone (start point is colored red)
On the Congure Device page, Congure Events secon (Figure 34), you can dene the events you want Archersh to look for by using the following opons:• Time Span: Use the drop down menus to select the Day of Week [day], Start [me] and End [me] that you want Archersh to look for an event.• Events: Select the type(s) of event you want Archersh to look for. You can tell Archersh to look for a person, vehicle, or moon. You can also select a combinaon of these. For instance, if Archersh is monitoring your driveway, you might choose to have Archersh nofy you when a car or person comes up the driveway. Note that if you choose Moon, you’ll be noed of any object moving in the camera view.• Zones: Select the zones where Archersh should look for the event. You will only be able to select zones that you have already dened.• Duraon: Select the amount of me the event (e.g., person, vehicle, or object) stays within the zone before Archersh noes you. Seng a duraon is helpful in focusing Archersh on the things that maer (a person loitering) versus things that don’t (a person passing through).Using the same example from Step 5-1, if you wanted to detect people who might be tampering with some bins on Monday morning, you might set the Time Span to Monday between 5:00 AM and 11:59 AM and the Events as Person. Once you have dened your event, click the Add Event buon. You will see your event in the table (Figure 35) and can edit or delete the event at any me. Click the Select User Nocaon Method buon to proceed (Figure 36).

On the Congure Device page, Select User Nocaon Method secon (Figure 37), you can decide how nocaons will be received, and who will receive them. Since Archersh is exible, dierent nocaon sengs can be dened for dierent cameras.The Primary User name and nocaon methods that were completed in the Primary User Prole will automacally appear in the Users list. Select the user(s) who should receive nocaons for this camera. Then use the drop down box under Nocaon Method to choose the desnaon and format of their nocaons.

Here are some helpful hints that will help you make the most of your Archersh system.• Locaon, Locaon, Locaon: Just like with real estate, locaon is one of the key factors in using Solo eecvely. While you don’t have to follow all of the camera placement guidelines listed on page 9, following as many as possible makes Solo a more powerful tool. Our Camera Placement Guide (available at www.myarchersh.com/solosetup) gives more details on placement and provides real-world examples of typical sengs.• Start slowly: Archersh allows for a high level of customizaon, so it’s best to slowly experiment and gure out what works best for you. Try sending nocaons to yourself in dierent formats to see what you like, and then add other users. Set up one camera at a me and experiment with event duraon, zone placement, and dierent behaviors to see which events are most useful.• Use zones: Especially in busy scenes, using zones within a camera eld of view can help increase the accuracy of your nocaons since Archersh will focus on looking for events only in the area(s) you care about.• Use duraon: Leng Archersh wait a bit before reporng something to you can be helpful, especially if you are concerned about people loitering in an area versus those that just pass by.• For outdoor scenes, use People or Vehicle Behaviors: Archersh can detect more than just whether or not things are moving. Archersh can actually tell the dierence between people and vehicles. We recommend seng Archersh to look for these behaviors over general moon for outdoor monitoring since wind, shadows and other kinds of movement may trigger unwanted nocaons. • Pets can look like people: Occasionally Archersh may consider your very large family pet to be a person. If you have a pet that frequently gets in the camera eld of view, consider poinng the camera in a dierent direcon or using zones to ignore their favorite places.Helpful Hints in Making Archerfish Work for Youpage 22Archersh Solo Installaon Guide
This secon describes how to manually set up port forwarding in order to view live video in the Archersh SmartPortal. This secon only applies if you set UPnP to O on the Inial Logon and Registraon Wizard, Congure Live Video secon (see page 16).Next, in the Device Port Number eld enter a port number between 1024 and 65535 (Figure 40). This helps avoid potenal conicts with port numbers already in use. If you have more than one Archersh device, make sure each device has its own unique port number.Next, set up port forwarding by using your router to map the Archersh device private IP address to the port number you’ve chosen. You’ll need administrave rights to log on to your router. Specic instrucons vary by manufacturer, so you should refer to your router manufacturer’s web site for details. If your router is provided by your Internet Service Provider, their technical support can provide instrucons for your router. Here’s an example of how to set up port forwarding for a Cisco® Linksys® WRT54G2 router: • On the page displayed when you rst log into the router (Figure 41), select the Applicaons & Gaming tab.• On the Applicaons & Gaming page, enter “Archersh” in the Applicaon eld. In the Start and End elds, enter the Device Port Number that appears in the Archersh SmartPortal’s Live Video Setup (in this case, 61999). On the same line, enter the last numbers of the Device Private IP Address. Make sure that the Enable box is checked. In the example in Figure 42, the Device Port Number is 61999 and the Device IP Address is 192.168.1.101.• Click the Save Sengs buon.page 23Archersh Solo Installaon GuideAppendix A: Port Forwarding Set UpFigure 41 Linksys WRT54G2 main conguraon pageFigure 42 Required elds to set up port forwardingFigure 40 Specifying a port number for Live Video
