Other things you’ll need to set up are: - PC with Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 7.0 or 8.0) or Mozilla Firefox (version 3.5 or higher) Archerfish Solo Device Archerfish Solo Mount with Rotating Joint Archerfish Solo Power Supply Archerfish Solo Mount Base - Active broadband Internet connection with an upload speed of at least 512 kbps - Wireless router (with available port for initial setup) connected to the Internet - Phillips and slotted (“flathead”) screwdrivers Three Screws MicroSD Card Ethernet Adaptor (usually not needed) Figure 1 Archerfish Solo items Archerfish Solo Installation Guide page 02 Step 1 Add Solo to Your Wireless Router Setting up wireless connectivity between Solo and your router is easy because there’s an Archerfish 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). Ethernet connector Next, plug in the power supply. power connector LED Wait for the small LED light on the bottom 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 different color and blink patterns to tell you what it’s doing. For a summary of all the different LED states, see Appendix B on page 24. Archerfish Solo Installation Guide Figure 2 Solo device’s power and Ethernet connectors page 03 Step 1 Add Solo to Your Wireless Router (continued) On a PC, go to www.myarcherfish.com/solosetup to download the Solo Wi-Fi Setup Wizard. Make sure you’re saving the file (Solo_WIFI_Config.exe) in the same local network you plan to install Solo on. Double click the file to run it. Note: If your Windows firewall or other security application asks if you want to run “SoloConfigWizard” you’ll need to agree. Once the Wizard has launched, click the Start button. The Wizard takes a few moments to detect all Solo devices that are connected to your router. Select the Solo device you wish to configure for Wi-Fi (Figure 3). If you have multiple 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 Getting Started insert). Click the Configure Selected Device button. Now you’ll need to provide and confirm 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 configuration at a later time. Figure 3 Archerfish Devices detected by the Wi-Fi Setup Wizard Click OK. Figure 4 Creating a password for your Solo Archerfish Solo Installation Guide page 04 Step 1 Add Solo to Your Wireless Router (continued) 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 written on a label on your router). If you don’t have this information, 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 field is empty and you don’t know which type of network key your router uses, you can test each one of these options until one of them works. Figure 5 Wireless network settings Note: If using WEP (e.g., you are a Verizon FiOS customer using your router’s default settings), you may need to click the Hex Key checkbox. Click OK. If the wireless connectivity is successfully established, the Wizard will display a Congratulations 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 connections. Figure 6 Wi-Fi Setup Wizard completion Archerfish Solo Installation Guide page 05 Step 2 Assemble Solo There are a few steps you need to perform to physically put Solo together, including inserting a MicroSD card for recording and attaching the mount. Before inserting 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 inserting the card, gently push it straight in until 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. door Now Solo will be able to record continuous video to the MicroSD card. Once you’re done with the installation process, you’ll be able to view this recorded video on the Archerfish SmartPortal. Figure 7 MicroSD card inserted into the Solo device Archerfish Solo Installation Guide page 06 Step 2 Assemble Solo (continued) The Solo device comes with a mount for installing it on a wall, ceiling, or shelf. Attaching the device to its mount requires some basic assembly, illustrated in Figure 8 on the right. • First remove the nut and stud from the rotating joint to expose the screw inside the rotating joint (Figure 8A). • Using your slotted screwdriver, tighten the screw in order to attach the rotating joint to Solo (Figure 8B) • Finally, slide the mount arm into the rotating joint and secure the stud into pace with the nut (Figure 8C). The head of the stud should reset in the side of the rotating joint that is recessed. nut stud screw rotating joint 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 connection, proceed to Step 2-1 on the next page. rotating joint Figure 8 Attaching the Solo device to the mount with the rotating joint rubber gasket Next, assemble the mount base. To connect the power cables within the mount base, first remove the Ethernet adapter from inside the mount base. Gently pull the rubber gasket away from the base. Press the cable attached to Solo down through the gasket’s left-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 attach the mount base to the mount when you screw the mount in place (described on page 10). center slot power cable cable attached to Solo mount base A How cables are placed into the mount base’s rubber gasket B Power cables connected within the mount base Figure 9 Assembling the mount base empty slot and tab Figure 10 Unused left-hand slot, with tab Archerfish Solo Installation Guide page 07 Step 2-1 Assemble Mount Base for Ethernet (optional) 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 instructions on the previous page, you’ve already placed the Solo cable through the left-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). Figure 11 Ethernet cables connected via the Ethernet adapter within the mount base Archerfish Solo Installation Guide page 08 Step 3 Install Solo Solo is a very smart and flexible device, but you can help it work, and make your own viewing experience better, 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 location for your Archerfish system. DESCRIPTION WI-FI CONNECTIVITY Confirm 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 tilted downward at an angle between 15° and 45° (Figure 12). It should be positioned 10 to 40 feet from people, or 20 to 60 feet from vehicles. DIRECTION OF MOTION People and vehicles should normally move from left-to-right or rightto-left 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 conditions 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-clockwise. SECURE MOUNTING Solo device should be securely mounted. ADEQUATE, EVEN LIGHTING Lighting should be constant and sufficient to read a newspaper in the camera view where people or vehicles appear. PHYSICAL OBSTRUCTIONS Physical obstructions or sources of constant motion (e.g., moving doors, flags waving in the wind, etc.) are not in the camera view. REFLECTIONS, GLARE, OTHER LIGHTING EFFECTS Reflective surfaces (e.g., mirrors, window panes, water, or polished floors) or bright lights (e.g., headlight glare, direct sunlight) are not directed at the camera. ü For more information and specific examples, go to www.myarcherfish.com/solosetup and review the Camera Placement Guide. At that site you can also watch a short video on camera setup. Archerfish Solo Installation Guide A MORE EFFECTIVE - Cameras are at 15 to 45 degree downward tilt B LESS EFFECTIVE - Cameras are directly overhead (90 degrees) or parallel to (0 degrees) the target Figure 12 Camera Angle A MORE EFFECTIVE - A target traveling from left to right B LESS EFFECTIVE - A target traveling directly toward the camera Figure 13 Target Direction of Motion page 09 Step 3 Install Solo (continued) You can attach Solo to a ceiling, wall, or shelf as seen in Figure 14. Notice 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 direction Solo is pointed (Figure 15, left). To do so loosen a nut, change the Solo device position, and then re-tighten the nut. Then use the three screws to attach 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. Figure 14 Shelf (left), wall (center), and ceiling (right) mounting positions nuts screws Figure 15 Adjustment nuts (left); using three screws to attach mount and mount base to surface Archerfish Solo Installation Guide page 10 Step 4 Register Solo You’ll need to activate your Archerfish Solo by registering it. To do so, open an Internet browser and sign in at portal.myarcherfish.com/signup. Note: If you already have an Archerfish account and need to register additional Archerfish devices, do not go through the Initial Registration process. Instead, go to www.myarcherfish.com, log in to the SmartPortal, and then click on Devices > Add a Device. On the Initial Logon and Registration Wizard page, you’ll need to enter the serial number of your Solo (Figure 16). The serial number can be found in your Getting Started with Archerfish Solo insert. You may want to save this insert so you can have the serial number for your records. If you no longer have the insert, the Serial number can also be found on the tag attached to the Solo device’s power cable. Figure 16 Archerfish device serial number in Device Serial Number field Archerfish Solo Installation Guide page 11 Step 4 Register Solo (continued) On the Initial Logon and Registration Wizard page, Register Device section, enter a name for your device (Figure 17).

Once this step is done, you’ll be able to see live video from your Archerfish Solo in the Archerfish SmartPortal. On the Initial Logon and Registration Wizard page, Configure Live Video section (Figure 27), you’ll see networking information about your Archerfish Solo. For live video to work, port forwarding needs to be set up. Archerfish can automatically set up port forwarding if your router supports Universal Plug and Play, or UPnP. Just set UPnP to On in the drop down option. Once you have turned UPnP on, click the Complete Registration button (Figure 28) to complete the process. If your router doesn’t support UPnP, select Off and refer to “Appendix A: Port Forwarding Configuration” on page 23. Once the registration process is complete, the Configure Device screen appears. Proceed to Step 5. Figure 27 Initial Logon and Registration Wizard page, Configure Live Video section Figure 28 Installation Wizard button that completes the registration process Archerfish Solo Installation Guide page 16 Step 5 Customize Your System Congratulations, you’ve just completed the Initial Installation and Registration process. Now that Solo has been installed and activated, this next step will help you to personalize your Archerfish system. You’ll be able to tell Archerfish what you want it to watch for. First, Archerfish 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 confirmation message (Figure 29). Click the Configure Device button. On the Configure Device page, Select Device section (Figure 30), choose the Archerfish device to customize from the drop down menu. Note: If you wish to change the name of the Archerfish device, enter the Figure 29 Device Update page: Device up-to-date confirmation new name in the Update Device field and click the Update Now link. For the Select Video Resolution option, select Standard for both Live Video/DVR Recording and Event Clips. This setting will give you good video quality while optimizing storage. lick the Set Up Zones for My Camera button to proceed to the next step (Figure 31). Figure 30 Configure Device page, Select Device section Figure 31 Installation Wizard button that will direct you to the next step Archerfish Solo Installation Guide page 17 Step 5-1 Set Up Zones On the Configure Device page, Set Up Zones section, you can select up to three specific areas, or zones, within the camera’s view for Archerfish to monitor. Zones help Archerfish focus on what matters to you. For example, Figure 32 shows a camera’s field of view—an entryway to a small business office. The business owner only wants to know when a person tampers with some bins placed in the entryway. He doesn’t care about activity in any other part of this camera view. It’s easy to create and set the shape of the area you want Archerfish 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 button. Then use your mouse to draw the zone by clicking the left mouse button wherever you want to define a corner of the zone. The first 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 entire area where Archerfish should watch for a person, vehicle, or moving object. It shouldn’t cover areas where you don’t care about activity. 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 floor 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 location. To create an additional point between two existing points, SHIFT+click the point that was placed first. To complete the zone, click the Configure Events button, or the Edit radio button 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 reposition a camera, you must click the Refresh Image button Figure 32 Configure Device page, Set Up Zones section A A zone, defined by six end points (first point is green; other points are blue) B A completed zone (start point is colored red) Figure 33 Drawing a zone to see the new camera view and save your settings. Archerfish Solo Installation Guide page 18 Step 5-2 Configure Events On the Configure Device page, Configure Events section (Figure 34), you can define the events you want Archerfish to look for by using the following options: • Time Span: Use the drop down menus to select the Day of Week [day], Start [time] and End [time] that you want Archerfish to look for an event. • E vents: Select the type(s) of event you want Archerfish to look for. You can tell Archerfish to look for a person, vehicle, or motion. You can also select a combination of these. For instance, if Archerfish is monitoring your driveway, you might choose to have Archerfish notify you when a car or person comes up the driveway. Note that if you choose Motion, you’ll be notified of any object moving in the camera view. • Zones: Select the zones where Archerfish should look for the event. You will only be able to select zones that you have already defined. • Figure 34 Configure Device page, Configure Events section Duration: Select the amount of time the event (e.g., person, vehicle, or object) stays within the zone before Archerfish notifies you. Setting a duration is helpful in focusing Archerfish on the things that matter (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. Figure 35 Event table Once you have defined your event, click the Add Event button. You will see your event in the table (Figure 35) and can edit or delete the event at any time. Click the Select User Notification Method button to proceed (Figure 36). Figure 36 Installation Wizard button that will direct you to the next step Archerfish Solo Installation Guide page 19 Step 5-3 Define Notification Methods by Camera On the Configure Device page, Select User Notification Method section (Figure 37), you can decide how notifications will be received, and who will receive them. Since Archerfish is flexible, different notification settings can be defined for different cameras. The Primary User name and notification methods that were completed in the Primary User Profile will automatically appear in the Users list. Select the user(s) who should receive notifications for this camera. Then use the drop down box under Notification Method to choose the destination and format of their notifications. lick the Save and Return to Dashboard or the Save and Configure Another Camera button (Figure 38).

Archerfish Solo Installation Guide page 21 Helpful Hints in Making Archerfish Work for You Here are some helpful hints that will help you make the most of your Archerfish system. • Location, Location, Location: Just like with real estate, location is one of the key factors in using Solo effectively. 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.myarcherfish. com/solosetup) gives more details on placement and provides real-world examples of typical settings. • Start slowly: Archerfish allows for a high level of customization, so it’s best to slowly experiment and figure out what works best for you. Try sending notifications to yourself in different formats to see what you like, and then add other users. Set up one camera at a time and experiment with event duration, zone placement, and different behaviors to see which events are most useful. • Use duration: Letting Archerfish wait a bit before reporting 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: Archerfish can detect more than just whether or not things are moving. Archerfish can actually tell the difference between people and vehicles. We recommend setting Archerfish to look for these behaviors over general motion for outdoor monitoring since wind, shadows and other kinds of movement may trigger unwanted notifications. • Pets can look like people: Occasionally Archerfish may consider your very large family pet to be a person. If you have a pet that frequently gets in the camera field of view, consider pointing the camera in a different direction or using zones to ignore their favorite places. • Use zones: Especially in busy scenes, using zones within a camera field of view can help increase the accuracy of your notifications since Archerfish will focus on looking for events only in the area(s) you care about. Archerfish Solo Installation Guide page 22 Appendix A: Port Forwarding Set Up This section describes how to manually set up port forwarding in order to view live video in the Archerfish SmartPortal. This section only applies if you set UPnP to Off on the Initial Logon and Registration Wizard, Configure Live Video section (see page 16). Next, in the Device Port Number field enter a port number between 1024 and 65535 (Figure 40). This helps avoid potential conflicts with port numbers already in use. If you have more than one Archerfish device, make sure each device has its own unique port number. Next, set up port forwarding by using your router to map the Archerfish device private IP address to the port number you’ve chosen. You’ll need administrative rights to log on to your router. Specific instructions 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 instructions for your router. Figure 40 Specifying a port number for Live Video Here’s an example of how to set up port forwarding for a Cisco® Linksys® WRT54G2 router: • On the page displayed when you first log into the router (Figure 41), select the Applications & Gaming tab. • On the Applications & Gaming page, enter “Archerfish” in the Application field. In the Start and End fields, enter the Device Port Number that appears in the Archerfish 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 Settings button. Figure 41 Linksys WRT54G2 main configuration page Figure 42 Required fields to set up port forwarding Archerfish Solo Installation Guide page 23 Appendix B: Solo Device LED Quick Reference Archerfish Solo has a small LED light on the bottom which helps it to visually communicate what’s going on.
