MicroPower System Overview
How It Works
MicroPower Technologies has developed an extreme, low power, camera and radio architecture that has been
designed from the ground up to be solar powered. When combined with the MicroPower Trust Linx™ wireless
protocol, reliable long-range digital CCTV video can be transmied while consuming less than 10% of the electrical
power that most convenonal wireless IP cameras consume. Ulizing this patented technology, the MicroPower
wireless video cameras can remain transming and fully operaonal for up to ve days in complete darkness,
relying on only the internal rechargeable baeries. Overcoming most weather condions without any performance
loss or need for maintenance. Addionally, the TrustLinx radio technology reliably coexists with other wireless
technologies such as tradional Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/a/n), while reliably transming high-quality digital video to
distances up to 1/2 mile with the standard antennas.
MicroPower’s technology eliminates the need for trenching and/or long cable runs to remote outdoor cameras,
thus signicantly reducing installaon me and labor costs, allowing cost eecve remote video coverage in
locaons where surveillance was never before possible.
A maximum of (4) wireless cameras
may be simultaneously linked to a
single hub (Cameras must be within
range, and have good Line of Sight
between the antennas). A total of
30fps are available to be shared
between all the cameras connected
to a given hub.
The Solveil Hub acts as the only
data connecon point to which a
Video Management System (VMS),
Network Video Recorder (NVR) or Hybrid Digital
Video Recorder (DVR) can communicate.
Just like any convenonal IP CCTV camera, the
standard Ethernet TCP/IP video data from the
hub may be transmied through virtually any
convenonal broadband or wired network technology
such as LAN, DSL modem, cable modem, cellular
modem, mesh network, wireless back-haul etc. to
reach your chosen VMS soluon.
The standard h.264 video streams generated by the
hub are available to the VMS via RTSP.
The MicroPower Solveil System operates on 2.4GHz, but is not using convenonal WiFi communicaons (though it
does use the same frequencies, and channel number designaons). The camera system uses two bands within a
selected 2.4GHz channel. First is the “Payload Band” also referred to as “Wide Band”. It will occupy channels 2, 6,
or 11 on the 2.4GHz spectrum. The wide band communicaon is used to deliver the video payload one-way, from
the camera to the hub. Next, the hub species a “Narrow Band” or “Command Band”, which is a small subdivision
of the channel used for the wide band communicaons. This is where the command level communicaons occur
between the hub and the camera(s). These terms “Wide Band” and “Narrow Band” are used throughout this
document.

Hub Connecon Method
RTSP Streaming
The hub communicates to your VMS using h.264 RTSP streaming. In order to operate correctly, an IP address will
be needed for the hub, plus, and addional IP address will be ulized to represent each camera on the hub.
To access the individual video streams, one will use the unique IP of the camera, while the trailing URL remains
consistent. (See illustraon on right)
In the event of a camera outage, the IP address represenng that camera can be disabled aer a user dened
period of me. This allows a VMS system to detect the camera loss (IP is no longer accessible, and can no longer be
pinged) and send the appropriate alerts or scripted acons.
Note that the individual cameras are never actually a part of a given computer network. The IP addresses are
operated and maintained 100% inside the hub, and only represent the camera video streams.
NOTE: When segn up a camera, you should enter the IP address of each Solveil camera at that me. Do not
leave the eld blank or use the same IP address that is assigned to the hub.

Geng Started - First Steps
Site Survey
A well thought out plan for the locaon of the hub, hub antenna(s) and camera(s) is a crucial step to ensuring that
the enre system will provide reliable long-term service, and integrate eecvely with a new or preexisng video
management system.
RF Consideraons
Radio Frequency Line of Sight (RFLoS) diers from
visual line of sight. When dealing with RF, if you
imagine a laser beam between the two antennas, this
needs to be unobstructed, plus an addional space
around the beam. In most situaons, the addional
clearance needed is “football” shaped, and (at 1/2mile)
will ideally be at least 13 feet in diameter around at
the center point between the antennas. (100yrds
needs about 4.5’ min. clearance) This accommodates
the system’s Fresnel Zone requirements.
With unobstructed line-of-sight between the hub
and camera antennas, the standard Solveil system
will reliably transmit video up to 1/2 mile. Obstacles
such as trees, buildings, fences, and other objects
will greatly impact wireless performance in terms of
maximum transmission distance, data rate speeds, and
reliability. While a wall or tree may not cause any
signicant performance impact at very short ranges
(under 20yrds), it will likely completely block a signal
at longer distances. Addionally, for reliable extremely
short-range performance, the minimum distance
between the hub antenna and the Camera antenna
should be 25 feet with the RF output level set to the
lowest seng unless signal aenuators are installed.
It is also a good idea whenever possible to have an idea
of the ambient RF trac with regard to the installaon
locaon. Whenever possible, congested channels
should be avoided in favor of less ulized frequencies.
Use of RF scanning tools, such as the MetaGeek
“WiSpy” device, are strongly encouraged.
If obstrucons are present, the distance between the
antennas is too great, or area ambient RF condions too crowded, then the video streams may fail to establish a
link, experience dropouts and/or operate at a reduced frame rate.
Example of good, open RF line of sight.
Example of very challenging / poor RF line of site condions. Note the metal
surface low, and the buildings on the le and right side that can aenuate the
RF signal.

Solar Consideraons
Since the wireless camera is powered by solar energy, the crical impact of DIRECT sun direcon and shadows on
the solar panel cannot be overstated.
In the Northern hemisphere, when selecng a locaon for the wireless camera, the solar panel must be mounted
on the SOUTH side of a pole or structure, and be facing SOUTH.
In the Southern Hemisphere (below the equator), the direconal consideraons will be reversed.
The solar panels should also be installed at an opmum angle to capture the maximum amount of solar energy
possible. In general, the Southern US should angle the panel about 35-45 degrees from the pole, Mid US about 25
- 35 degrees from the pole, and with the Northern US / Canada, 10 - 20 degrees from the pole (solar glass almost
enrely facing the horizon)
Areas with insucient direct sunlight will eventually result in camera outages, though it may take from 5 days to
several weeks to occur. Examples of such areas might be:
• Mulple solar panels on a pole, spaced too close together, or with other equipment on the pole creang
shadows on the solar panel glass
• Panels mounted underneath a tree canopy or foliage which does not receive adequate sunlight
• Installaons next to a tall building that cast a shadow over the camera during the day. (Parcularly during the
most important mid-day charging period)
• Solar panel mounted under a roof or roof edge that does not allow enough direct sunlight
Keep in mind that the cameras include
a baery backup system capable
of operang the camera 24 hours a
day, for over ve days in complete
darkness. If the system is receiving
some light, but at levels that are
below the “break even” point, the
operaon me may be potenally
extended for weeks before a camera is
nally no longer capable of remaining
operaonal 24/7. Thus, it is important
to be aware that a camera may
appear to operate ne in poor lighng
condions, when in fact it is slowly
discharging over a long period of me.
As this is a solar powered camera, sucient dayme lighng is absolutely crical to the long-term successful
operaon of the system. Addionally, making sure there are no shadows cast on the panel during the day also
plays a crical role to success. Solar panels, by their nature, are sensive to and negavely impacted by shadows
(even very small ones) on the panel, these shadows may also come from other equipment mounted on a pole, such
as wiring, other solar panels, or mounng hardware. Some of the most common dicules that occur in the eld
can usually be aributed directly to solar panel shadowing.
Note: As an installer, the best way to idenfy the charging rate, baery levels, and signal performance, is to use our
the hub’s built-in HTML interface to determine if the system is performing well or not in a given installaon.

connected to the hub for live performance monitoring via a internet enabled smart phone.
Hand Tools
• Baery Powered Screwdriver or Impact Driver
• 1/4” and 10mm socket wrench (easiest if aached to baery powered driver)
• Zip Ties
• Pliers
• Magnec compass and Protractor (a smart phone with a compass and angle detecon will also work)
Means To Access Camera Locaon and Hub Locaon
• Ladder / Bucket Truck / Manli “cherry picker”
• Safety Harness, etc.
• Roof Access to get the hub antenna outside and elevated to achieve LOS (Line of Sight) to the cameras
Method to Mount the Camera and Hub to Desired Locaon
MicroPower supplies a camera bracket, a solar panel bracket, and an antenna bracket that can be mounted to
a pole. Given the variety of mounng possibilies and locaons, the hardware to aach these brackets to the
desired surfaces are not included. This means the installer will need to supply:
• Screws (oponal to aach hub to wall, and/or camera, antenna and solar panel bracket to pole / surface)
• Stainless Steel hose clamps (to aach solar panel and camera to pole)
• Antenna mast or surface to mount/aach the hub antenna to.
Network Access
The hub is an IP device and will require both power and LAN/Network access in order for the video to stream to
an NVR and/or remote locaon. Generally this is done via a house LAN, but may also be some other method of
network access such as a back haul radio, cellular device, or other IP Ethernet network technology.
VMS (Video Management System)
The hub generally communicates on the LAN to a local NVR (Network Video Recorder) for recording and archiving
of video. The NVR will then typically communicate via the Internet or LAN/WAN for remote viewing and
monitoring. However the actual network conguraon tends to vary greatly from site to site.
The VMS used, needs to be capable of recording a basic RTSP h.264 video streams from the hub in order to be
compable.
A complete list of compable VMS plaorms with integraon instrucons are available on the MicroPower website.

Hub Installaon
At the center of the MicroPower camera system is the Helios Hub. This is the “brain” of the system that
communicates with the video cameras, and produces the video data streams that the VMS system will record and
display.
Hub Assembly and Installaon
Remove the hub and mounng bracket from the box and locate a suitable place to install. This will typically be in
a network closet, however any locaon that is semi-climate controlled with access to Ethernet networking, power,
and where the antenna cable can be routed outside, will be suitable. Customers have mounted hubs inside drop
le ceilings, HVAC closets, Air vents, and many other locaons depending on the situaon.
It is also possible to power the hub via high power PoE (802.3at)
however doing so requires the use of an 802.3at PoE splier kit
with a and custom power cable (sold separately).
The mounng bracket will aach to the back of the hub, while the
other part will aach to the wall. The hub poron then ‘hangs’ on
the wall bracket, and is secured via the locking screws. (Installer
provides the hardware to aach to the wall). Note that the hub
may also simply be placed on a shelf or at surface, mounng is not
required.
Note: Do not stand on sides or cover the venlaon ports in any way.
The hub locaon should have clearance for the cabling, power brick, network cable, etc. to aach without
making sharp bends. It is parcularly important not to make sharp bends or “kinks” in the main
antenna cable(s) or it can result in signicant RF signal dicules.
Important:
• The antenna will connect via a small black strain relief cable. Please use this to prevent stress
damage to the antenna cable or the SMA antenna port on the hub.
• The Ethernet network port closest to the power plug is acve. The 2nd port is not used, and will
not funcon if connected. (This port is usually covered)
• Do not stand the hub on the narrow side, or block the venlaon ports in any way.
Once the hub is mounted the antenna cable is routed to an exterior locaon on the building, where the antenna
may be mounted to achieve line of sight to the camera antennas. To avoid damaging the fragile connecon cables
between the hub and diplexer, we will normally aach the antenna cable last, aer the hub installaon process has
been completed.
NOTE: Ethernet Port
(2) is NOT used.

Hub Antenna Assembly and Installaon
The antenna assembles into it’s mounng bracket and may then mount the antenna assembly via straps to a pole,
or via screws to a at surface.
Take care to avoid mounng the antenna directly to a large at metallic surface (such as corrugated n walls) as the
RF reecons from such surfaces can somemes be problemac.
The installer will generally need to provide a mast, or appropriate surface to mount the hub antenna. The installer
also needs to provide the means of aaching the antenna to the desired mounng surface (screws, stainless steel
hose clamps, etc.).
The hub antenna has a eld of view of approximately 90° and should be such that all of the remote cameras are
within the eld of view. If one camera is parcularly farther away than the others, somemes it is helpful to dri
the antenna a bit toward the farther target vs. precisely centering between all the cameras.
Regardless of how the antenna is mounted, the following must be observed:
• Antennas should always be mounted with the drain holes facing down and the front of the antenna facing
your target. If the drain holes are facing up, upon the rst rainfall the antenna will ll with water and be
damaged.
• All the antennas that are communicang with each other must be mounted in the same orientaon (both
hub and cameras). If the antennas are not
mounted idencally, they will be polarized
o-axis, and thus be prevented from
eecvely communicang with each other.
O-axis antennas, very poor communicaon.
Antennas oriented (polarized) the same, good
communicaon

Hub System Setup
Accessing The Hub
Default IP Address
The hub has a default IP address of: 192.168.0.100. To inially communicate with the hub, connect an Ethernet
cable directly from the hub to a laptop or desktop PC. A crossover cable may be required, however most
modern computers have auto-sensing Ethernet ports that make this unnecessary. The hub may also be plugged
directly into an Ethernet switch that your computer is
also connected to. Note that if your network is using
192.168.0.X IP addressing, there may be a device on your
network already using the hub’s default IP, so the hub may
need to be congured o the network rst, prior to being
connected. As usual with IP based devices, you will need
to set your computer to a similar IP address as the hub
(such as 192.168.0.99, or 192.168.0.115), before you will
be able to inially communicate with it. While the hub
can be used in DHCP mode, we strongly suggest manually
conguring a stac IP address.
Conguring the Hub
Changing The Hub IP Address
Once the antennas are connected, and the network cable
is in place, connect the power cord and if the power light
does not illuminate immediately, push the large silver
power buon on the front face of the hub to turn it on. It
will generally require somewhere between 40 seconds to 1
minute before it will be accessible on the network.
Use a web browser (we recommend “Firefox” or
“Chrome”) to inially log into the hub on the default IP of
hp://192.168.0.100. If the IP sengs on your computer are
correct, and the hub is powered on and running, you should see
the hub’s login screen come up almost immediately.
The login is “kevin” and the password is “kevin”...
On the rst screen you will see the current IP address displayed.
Click on the IP address, subnet, and gateway boxes, and change
them to the desired values. When the IP informaon has been
correctly entered and double checked, click the “save” buon,
and click through any prompts that follow.
If the receiver X needs to reboot, follow the prompts to allow it to do so.
Aer approximately (1) minute, the hub should then be accessible on the
newly assigned IP address.

Changing RF Channels
On the Solveil system, a hub will always default to the same radio channel (just as there is a default IP address)
thus channel selecon is very important, parcularly if there are mulple hub systems operang in the same
general area. Never run two Solveil systems on the same channels, within range of each other, or there will very
likely be signicant loss of system performance.
Video Channel: Represents the 2.4GHz channel that the video is transmied on, from the camera to the hub.
There are (3) choices, 2, 6, and 11. Try to choose a channel
that has the least amount of trac present.
Control Channel: Represents which small secon of the
video channel is also used for the camera to communicate
with the hub, via 2-way communicaon.
Be sure to click “Save” when you have completed making
your channel selecons.
Security Note: The camera system does not communicate
using any form of WiFi, and that the video signals and
communicaon signals do not contain any IP addresses,
or network data. This provides an enhanced layer of security because the
system never transmits any network related data that could compromise
the security of the host network. All networking tasks, are handled
internally in the hub, and transmied via the ethernet port, never via the
wireless network.
Adding Cameras
On MicroPower systems, individual cameras are never actually part of your computer network. Cameras are
idened to the hub by the MAC address that is assigned to the camera. This MAC address can be located on a
scker that can be found on the exterior and the interior of the camera. Generally they will resemble the following
structure: “48:17:4C:02:xx:xx” (“xx:xx” will vary from camera to camera). Make a note of all of the camera MAC
addresses in a given system and where those cameras are installed.
1. When logged into the hub click on the “Cameras” tab, and then on “Add/Delete”, here you will see a list of
cameras that are currently added to the hub (click the “refresh” buon to populate the list). The list should be
blank if you are seng up a hub for the rst me. If the hub is new, and you see a camera already added, click the
15
box next to it, and click “Remove”, then reboot the hub. On rare occasions, a test camera remains installed from
the tesng done during manufacturing.
2. To add a camera type the camera MAC address into the box provided. (If your camera is powered on, you may
see it indicated as a choice in a pull down menu)
3. Select the camera or enter the camera MAC address into the box, name the camera, and click “Save”.
4. Click the “refresh” buon every few seconds unl the new MAC address appears in the list of acve cameras.
5. Repeat the process for addional cameras.
4. When you have added all the cameras to the hub (up to a maximum of 4), reboot the hub by clicking on the
“Restart” buon at the top of the screen, and following any prompts.
Removing Cameras
In some circumstance (such as moving a camera to another locaon on to a dierent hub, replacing a camera,
etc.…) you may need to “remove” a camera. To remove a camera from a hub, simply click on the camera you wish
to remove, and click on the “Delete” buon. The camera will be removed from the system’s database, and may
then be replaced, or moved to another hub.
Aer successfully removing any cameras, you should reboot the hub by clickign on the “restart” buon found at
the top of the screen.

Camera Conguraon
IP Address: Here you can enter the IP address that will be used to represent a specic camera. A unique IP address
is required here, do not enter the same IP as the hub.
Modulaon: This is the speed of the communicaon that video is sent from the cameras to the hub. Generally
installers keep this seng consistent for all the cameras on a hub. If the cameras are relavely close, and have a
good signal strength (-55dB to -65dB), then 36 is ne.
If the cameras are at a distance, and/or have a weaker signal level (-66dB to -70dB) Then most installers will
change this seng to “24” in order to achieve a more reliable video link.
Solar Panel: This seng should be changed to reect the size of the solar panel that was shipped with your
camera. Dierent size solar panels are used for dierent regions of the world, depending on the amount of
sunlight they get on average each year. Seng this value to match your panel size, helps the system to accurately
esmate the power levels and capacity of a camera.
Night Mode: This seng is relevant if your camera is equipped with IR illuminaon. “Auto” will allow the camera
to automacally switch to night mode in low light situaons. “O” forces the camera to remain in day mode 24/7,
and “On” locks the camera into night mode. “On” is provided for tesng,
and for certain very specic applicaons such as License Plate Recognion
(LPR) when IR ltering. Generally an installer will always set this to “Auto”.
Be sure to click “Save” to preserve your seng changes
Camera Sengs
Frame Rate, Bandwidth, Nightmode Transion, IR Brightness, Video Preview
Clicking on the “Video Preview” tab will reveal a variety of sengs that are specic to each camera.
Frame Rate: This value may be set to determine the number of frames a camera sends per second. As of the
publicaon of this document, each hub is capable of handling a system-wide total of 30fps, divided up between
the cameras. It should also be noted that the energy consumpon of a camera rises with it’s framerate. Cameras
installed in areas with poor sunlight may nd advantage to keeping the frame rate low. For most security
applicaons in areas such as parking lots, 5fps is quite sucient. However some analyc packages, or just personal
preference may dictate that the frame rate be set higher.
17
Modulaon: (This is the exact same seng that was on the previous tab. It’s inclusion here is just as a
convenience.) Modulaon is the speed of the communicaon that video is sent from the cameras to the hub.
Generally installers keep this seng consistent for all the cameras on a hub. If the cameras are relavely close, and
have a good signal strength (-55dB to -65dB), then 36 is ne.
If the cameras are at a distance, and/or have a weaker signal level (-66dB to -70dB) Then most installers will
change this seng to “24” in order to achieve a more reliable video link.
Bandwidth: This value represents the amount of compression that is applied to the video stream. High bandwidth
will produce beer quality video, but larger le sizes.
Bandwidth Usage Graph: This graph represents the amount of available bandwidth that the camera is consuming
at the current sengs
Retransmission Graph: The green graph to the right of the camera sengs, indicates how hard the hub is having
to work to retrieve video from the camera. This is a good indicaon of RF noise, and interference.
Night Mode Transion: This seng inuences at what level of brightness that the camera will shi into IR mode.
(the default seng is generally best)
Brightness: The power level of the IR illuminator. This may be adjusted as needed to provide the best nighme
video. (Nearby reecve objects may require the level be lowered, whereas far away targets may need more
output power)
Video Preview Box: Push the “play” icon on the video window to watch a live feed from the camera. This is useful
for focusing, and evaluang your seng changes on the resulng video.
IMPORTANT: The sengs on this page are saved and sent to the camera immediately. There is no “save” buon
on this page. Changing the modulaon rate, may result in the camera briey dropping the wireless link while the
mode change goes into eect.

VMS Tab
The VMS Tab contains sengs that pertain to how the camera system interacts with your NVR / VMS.
Hold Last Frame: In the event of a momentary camera outage, the sengs here determine how long the video
image will remain frozen before changing to a black screen. This seng is very useful to mask small camera
glitches that may occur in a very heavily congested RF enviornment. Parcularly if the camera video may be
displayed in a publically viewable locaon.
Video Loss Mode: The user inputs a value in this locaon that determines how long a camera will be allowed to
remain oine, before the IP address associated with that camera is deacvated. This provides a means of allowing
your VMS/NVR system to detect that a camera has gone oine. (by producing the same condions that would be
present as if a convenonal IP camera had been powered down, or disconnected) Note: This feature will only be
acve if the check box for “Send Nocaon” is selcted in the next column.
Loss Alert: Check the box next to “Send Nocaon” for a specic camera, to enable the ability for your VMS to
detect when a camera has gone oine for an extended period of me. (See “Video Loss Mode” above)
Type: Select the desired type of video stream you woudl like to access from a parcular camera. Making a
selecon here will populate the “Connecon String” box to the right, with the proper connecon informaon
that your VMS will need in order to communicate with the cameras via RTSP. This provides an easy way to choose
your desired compression method, and to obtain the informaon that will be needed to set up your VMS to
communicate with that camera.
Connecon String: The connecon informaon that is needed in order for your VMS to communicate with this
camera, will ll in here, depending on your selecon under “Type”. This connecon informaon may be entered
into a video player such as VLC to view the video streams as well.
Copy String: Copies the connecon string to the computer clipboard, so you can easily paste it into your VMS or
video player.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to click “Save” on this page aer making any changes that you want to be preserved,
alternavely if you made changes you do not want to keep, simply click “Cancel”, and the former values for these
sengs will return.

System Status Tab
The System Status Tab is primarily ulized to provide valuable system status informaon to the installer.
System Informaon: The rst row contains informaon about the status and health of the hub. This includes a

Camera Informaon: These rows provide valuable performance informaon regarding the specic camera
indicated. Most importantly, the baery level, Bandwidth usage, and Signal Strength.
Desired Signal Strength Levels: For best performance, we nd that the signal strengths should indicate at least
-70dB or stronger. (-60dB is considerably STRONGER than -70dB, ‘lower’ numbers are beer)
Firmware Update: In the event that there is a rmware update available for your camera, it will be indicated
here. Clicking the buon will push the update out to the camera via the wireless link. (You do not have to visit the

conguraon le to a hub. This can be used to restore a conguraon to a hub that has been factory defaulted.
Factory Default: Clears the sengs in a hub, and returns it to the factory default sengs.
NOTE: Remote users should be certain to check the “preserve IP Sengs” opon, so that aer the factory default,
the programmed IP address will sll remain in the system. Otherwise, the hub will return to it’s default IP address
of 192.168.0.100, and potenally become inaccessible from a remote connecon.
System Logs: This feature will save the system logs that are stored in the hub. The log data contains informaon
about the performance of the hub, signal strengths, charge levels, etc. (No images or video clips are stored or
transmied) This informaon is useful to provide to MicroPower for trouble shoong purposes.
System Logs Daily Sync: If the hub has internet access, checking this box will instruct the system to upload the log
data nightly to the MicroPower oces. This is useful in the event of a problem, MPT will already have the previous
nights logs on hand for review and analysis. “Send Log to MicroPower” will cause the system to immediately being
uploading the log data to the MPT oces for analysis and troubleshoong.

Camera Kit Assembly & Installaon
Next we will cover how the cameras and camera components are assembled and installed. Some installers nd it
easier to do the assembly process on mulple cameras at the same me, and bring the cameras to the pole “ready
to bolt on”. Others prefer to assemble the parts at each locaon. Regardless the camera / solar panel / antenna
assembly process should be done on the ground, prior to actually mounng any of the equipment. As much as
possible this guide is moving in chronological order, so we will rst cover the assembly of the parts, and then
address the mounng / installaon process.
System Assembly
Camera Assembly
The camera itself only needs to have the camera swivel
bracket aached to it.
1. Remove the camera bracket from the packaging, and
remove the pivong mount from the main bracket,
by removing the single screw that holds it in place.
Replace the screw back into the pivong bracket to
prevent it from being lost.
2. Place the rubber bracket pad on the camera housing,
and line up the capve screws with the holes.
3. Next, mount the bracket hinge on the underside of
the camera by using the small/shallow Phillips screws
included in a small plasc bag that may be found in
the packaging.
4. Before ghtening the bracket to the camera housing,
slide it up and down the housing unl you can li the
camera by the bracket, and nd that it is balanced. A
balanced camera will make the later mounng process
much easier.
5. If your camera is equipped with an IR illuminator, you
can plug it into one of the two power sockets at this
me. The other power socket will be used by the solar
panel input.

The solar panel bracket is extremely versale, and is assembled based upon the mounng surface that it will be
aached to. The “C” shaped bracket can be bolted to the solar panel with the at side facing out (for bolng/
screwing to smooth surfaces), or with the edges of the bracket facing outward (for mounng using straps/hose
clamps to poles). The panel may be mounted to poles, walls, or even inverted and mounted to rooops or ledges.

Camera System Installaon / Mounng
The order of equipment on the pole may vary from installaon to installaon. Generally the solar panel will be
on top, followed by the antenna, with the camera on the boom. This arrangement generally provides the best
unobstructed light for the panel, however there are excepons. For example if your mounng pole has a large
light on top that will cast a shadow on the panel, it might be wise to move it lower down the pole, or, if there are
tall obstrucons that must be cleared and the antenna must be placed much higher up the pole than the other
equipment. For the purposes of this document however, we will start at the top with the solar panel, and move
our way down the pole.
If the installer has any quesons or concerns, feel free to snap some pictures, and call into MicroPower support for
advice, we are always happy to assist. (877-536-0128)
Solar Panel Mounng
A solar panel is included with the camera which oers complete exibility with the placement of the camera, and
enables reliable operaon in installaon locaons that may have lower light levels, such as northern climates
where snow and ice may typically impact the long-term operaon of solar powered devices. The solar panel
connects to the camera very easily, and may be
secured to a variety of dierent surfaces by a very
simple, extremely versale mounng bracket.
How to Mount the Auxiliary Solar Panel:
The solar panel mounng bracket is extremely
versale, and is designed to be mounted to a pole
with stainless steel hose clamps, “U” bolts, or
screws to rmly secure the panel to the desired
mounng surface.
Always be sure that the panel is rmly secured
against weather events such as high winds, ice, snow, etc. Depending on your parcular conguraon, the installer
will need to purchase the appropriate hardware to aach the bracket to the desired mounng surface.
What Direcon to Mount the Solar Panel:
For mounng locaons in the Northern Hemisphere (United States, Mexico, Canada, etc.) The solar panel MUST be
mounted with the glass facing SOUTH, and angled such that it will capture the most winter sun possible during the
daylight hours. The farther North the system is installed, the lower toward the horizon the glass panel should be
angled, consistent with the posion of the sun during the weaker, winter solar energy.
In climates where snow and ice are a factor will also need to angle the panel more sharply, such that snow will not
tend to accumulate on the panel glass. Addionally, it is very important that care is taken to ensure that objects
such as trees, ulity poles, buildings, and most especially the other equipment on the pole (antenna, camera, etc.)
do not create any shadows on any of the solar panels in the system.
Note: The baery ships from the factory at about 40% capacity. During storage and shipment, the baery will
be (and always should be) unplugged from the camera, and will need to be connected in order to power on the
camera. When the camera is not in use, and stored out of sunlight, the baery should be disconnected.

26
Antenna Mounng
The direconal antenna should be mounted as the scker indicates on the back of the antenna, double checking
that the drain holes are releasing any water toward the ground. This antenna arrangement polarizes them to
a horizontal plane, which has the benit of excluding a lot of the ambient RF noise that emites from the more
common vercally posioned antennas. It is crical that all the antennas are oriented THE SAME WAY in a given
system, or the noise exclusion menoned previously, will work to ensure the camera can not communicate to the
hub.
Each camera should have one antenna, while each hub
may have one or two antennas depending on the locaon
of the cameras in the eld. Note that is more than one
antenna is being used on a hub, then the maximum
transmission range will be reduced due to the usage of a
signal splier.
** NOTE: THE ANTENNAS HAVE DRAIN HOLES TO RELEASE
ANY ACCUMULATED MOISTURE. THE DRAINS HOLE MUST
BE FACING THE GROUND WHEN MOUNTING **
The direconal antennas when placed at have an
approximate 90 degree eld of view. The camera antennas
should be posioned poinng toward the hub, within the
“cone” of the antenna’s eld of view, for the system to
properly communicate.
(Note that the camera’s antennas should point only to
the hub antenna, not at each other).
The direconal antennas will need to be mounted to the
desired locaon, using hardware supplied by the installer.
Typically this would be done via stainless steel hose
clamps, “U” bolts, or some other clamping mechanism.

27
Camera Mounng
During the assembly process, you’ve already aached the rotang poron of the camera bracket to the camera
housing. This leaves the lightweight camera arm bracket to be easily aached to the desired mounng surface.
1. Use the appropriate hardware to mount the bracket to your desired surface. This may require stainless
steel hose clamps (easiest and quickest, parcularly for large poles), screws (good for at wood surfaces), or
perhaps stainless steel “U” bolts (good for narrow gauge masts).
2. Once the camera arm bracket has been secured to your desired mounng surface, then place the
camera+rotang poron of the mount, onto the camera arm bracket. If you arranged the movable bracket
such that the camera was balanced, it should be very easy to hold the camera in place on the arm bracket,
while you aach the single screw to secure the enre assembly together.
3. Now you can adjust the posion of the camera, and connect the solar power cable and the antenna cable.
4. Once you have the antenna cable and solar power cable aached, you may then power on the camera by
connecng the baery plug inside the camera. IR enabled cameras will have (2) baery plugs that must be
connected (or disconnected to power o the camera) (see next page)
5. Be sure to ghtly secure the arm bracket screw, thus locking the camera in place. It is easy to forget to secure
it ghtly, leaving the camera vulnurable to unintended movement or potenally falling during high winds.
The solar panel should be posioned above the camera, or,
arranged such that so no shadows are created on the panel
surface. (Even small shadows will dramacally decrease
the solar panel eeciency)

Focusing and Adjusng The Camera
The system uses common “CS-Mount” threaded, mega-pixel CCTV lenses. Standard MicroPower cameras come
equipped with either a 2.8-11mm IR corrected lens, or a 10-40mm IR corrected lens. All the lenses are equipped
with a manual iris control, that in most circumstances, should always be opened up completely to oer the best
low light performance. The telephoto and focus controls should be adjusted to provide the desired eld of view
and magnicaon.
Remember, these are wireless cameras that are more exible for mounng than tradional wired CCTV, so
whenever possible you should try to bring the camera closer to your target, rather than resorng rst to magnifying
it through a more powerful lens. Closer posioning will provide greater clarity and beer low light performance,
and more “pixels on target”.
Note: There are sensive components exposed inside the camera, such as the CCD imager board, and the diplexer
board (seen below). Take care not to touch these parts when focusing the camera, parcularly if the camera is
powered on.

Viewing Live Video at the Camera for Focus and Adjustment
Since the camera is 100% digital, but not actually on the computer network, video from the camera must always
be viewed through the hub. However, with the new Solveil generaon of cameras, a USB port has been added that
can be connected to a Windows based computer. The camera will be detected by your computer as a generic USB
web cam, allowing an installer to use a tablet or small laptop to focus the camera live on the pole.
There are (4) main methods for viewing video when seng up a Solveil camera system.
Direct at the Camera via USB:
The Solveil cameras are equipped with an internal USB port that allows almost any computer running a full version
of Windows 7 or Windows 8, to view the live video as a generic web cam. While this won’t provide signal strength
feedback, it does allow the camera to be adjusted easily in the eld. All you need to do is power on the camera,
and plug your computer’s USB port into the USB port located on the top of the interior main board.
Using a standard Micro USB cord, connect your
computer to the main board of the camera as
shown above. Your computer should take a
few moments to load the driver for the web
cam. You can then use any applicaon that can
show a web cam video feed, such as VLC Player to view
the resulng video from the camera.
[Launch VLC player, select “Open Capture
Device”, select “Direct Show”, and choose
“MicroPower” as the camera]
When the adjustments are made, carefully
remove the cable and securely close the camera
housing, and lock the camera latch.

Remote Desktop Access (preferred):
The second method oen proves to be the most useful and versale. It requires that you have a computer such
as a laptop that is capable of communicang with the hub. This computer will also need an Internet connecon,
either from from the host network, or, via a wireless devices such as a cellular to WiFi “MyFi” type device. Using
remote desktop soware such as “LogMeIn™” or our favorite, “TeamViewer™” you can use the remote desktop
app on your personal smart phone (Android or iPhone) to directly access your computer.
This method allows you to see the web interface, view signal strengths, make seng changes and preview video
with full visibility to the system performance. An addional benet is that most commercial remote desktop
packages generally do not require any port forwarding issues, or network changes to provide remote access.
VMS Client Access:
The third most common method requires that the hub is loaded and congured to the VMS that will be recording
the video, and that the VMS is set up for remote viewing access. Most modern VMS plaorms oer iPhone or
Android remote client apps that can be used to log directly into the VMS and view the video being produced by
the cameras. This method will strictly show you video, and is not useful for accessing signal strengths or making
changes to the Solveil setup.
Cell Phones:
Lastly, oen people just take the more simple, “Two guys with cell phones” approach. It simply requires that one
installer remains inside with access to the hub, and communicates via cell phone with the installer on the camera
pole.
Keep in mind that this sll requires a computer and for that computer to have direct access to communicate with
the hub. If an internet connecon can be obtained, then you probably have everything you need to use the more
preferred remote desktop method, that will then provide the camera installer direct access to the video.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a noce placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this
General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivave
work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a poron of it, either verbam or with modicaons and/or translated into another
language. (Hereinaer, translaon is included without limitaon in the term “modicaon”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
Acvies other than copying, distribuon and modicaon are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not
restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running
the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbam copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
publish on each copy an appropriate copyright noce and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the noces that refer to this License and to the absence of any
warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your opon oer warranty protecon in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any poron of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modicaons or
work under the terms of Secon 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these condions:
You must cause the modied les to carry prominent noces stang that you changed the les and the date of any change.
You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a
whole at no charge to all third pares under the terms of this License.
If the modied program normally reads commands interacvely when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interacve use in the most ordinary way,
to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright noce and a noce that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty)
and that users may redistribute the program under these condions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Excepon: if the Program itself is
interacve but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modied work as a whole. If idenable secons of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered
independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those secons when you distribute them as separate works. But
when you distribute the same secons as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribuon of the whole must be on the terms of this License,
whose permissions for other licensees extend to the enre whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this secon to claim rights or contest your rights to work wrien enrely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the
distribuon of derivave or collecve works based on the Program.
In addion, mere aggregaon of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or
distribuon medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Secon 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Secons 1 and 2 above
provided that you also do one of the following:
Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Secons 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for soware interchange; or,
Accompany it with a wrien oer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source
distribuon, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Secons 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for soware interchange; or,
Accompany it with the informaon you received as to the oer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternave is allowed only for noncommercial
distribuon and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an oer, in accord with Subsecon b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modicaons to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the
source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface denion les, plus the scripts used to control compilaon and installaon of the executable.
However, as a special excepon, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operang system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribuon of executable or object code is made by oering access to copy from a designated place, then oering equivalent access to copy the source code from
the same place counts as distribuon of the source code, even though third pares are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any aempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automacally terminate your rights under this License. However, pares who have received copies, or rights,
from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such pares remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its
derivave works. These acons are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distribung the Program (or any work based on
the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and condions for copying, distribung or modifying the Program or works
based on it.
6. Each me you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automacally receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and condions. You may not impose any further restricons on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted
herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third pares to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegaon of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), condions are imposed on
you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the condions of this License, they do not excuse you from the condions of this License. If
you cannot distribute so as to sasfy simultaneously your obligaons under this License and any other pernent obligaons, then as a consequence you may not
distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribuon of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or
indirectly through you, then the only way you could sasfy both it and this License would be to refrain enrely from distribuon of the Program.
If any poron of this secon is held invalid or unenforceable under any parcular circumstance, the balance of the secon is intended to apply and the secon as a
whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this secon to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this secon has the
sole purpose of protecng the integrity of the free soware distribuon system, which is implemented by public license pracces. Many people have made generous
contribuons to the wide range of soware distributed through that system in reliance on consistent applicaon of that system; it is up to the author/donor to
decide if he or she is willing to distribute soware through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This secon is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribuon and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who
places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribuon limitaon excluding those countries, so that distribuon is permied only in or
among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitaon as if wrien in the body of this License.
9. The Free Soware Foundaon may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from me to me. Such new versions will be similar in spirit
to the present version, but may dier in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a disnguishing version number. If the Program species
a version number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the opon of following the terms and condions either of that version or of
any later version published by the Free Soware Foundaon. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever
published by the Free Soware Foundaon.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribuon condions are dierent, write to the author to ask for permission.
For soware that is copyrighted by the Free Soware Foundaon, write to the Free Soware Foundaon; we somemes make excepons for this. Our decision will
be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivaves of our free soware and of promong the sharing and reuse of soware generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE; THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT
WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
39
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL AND COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY
MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF
SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
