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.

Figure 3 Archersh Devices detected by the Wi-Fi Setup Wizard
Figure 4 Creang a password for your Solo
On 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 Guide
Next, 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.

Step 2 Assemble Solo
page 06Archersh Solo Installaon Guide
Figure 7 MicroSD card inserted into the Solo device
There 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.

Step 2 Assemble Solo (continued)
page 07Archersh Solo Installaon Guide
Figure 8 Aaching the Solo device to the mount with the rotang joint
The 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.

Step 2-1 Assemble Mount Base for Ethernet (optional)
page 08Archersh Solo Installaon Guide
Figure 11 Ethernet cables connected via the Ethernet
adapter within the mount base
Although 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 ü
WI-FI
CONNECTIVITY
Con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
MOTION
People 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
ORIENTATION
Objects 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
LIGHTING
Lighng should be constant and sucient to read a newspaper in the
camera view where people or vehicles appear.
PHYSICAL
OBSTRUCTIONS
Physical 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 EFFECTS
Re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.

For 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.

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.

Figure 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.

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).
Step 5-2 Configure Events

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.
Click the Save and Return to Dashboard or the Save and Congure Another Camera

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.

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.

Appendix B: Solo Device LED Quick Reference
Archersh Solo has a small LED light on the boom which helps it to visually communicate what’s going on.
Generally speaking, a green light means it’s transming video, an orange light has to do with Wi-Fi connecvity, and a red
light means Solo is having trouble or being reset. If there is a specic color and light paern you want more informaon on,
