Before you begin, if this CheckVideo device will be monitored by a
central staon, please contact the central staon for a username and
password on their exisng CheckVideo account. The central staon will
add the device to their account. If this device will be self-monitored,
you will be creang a CheckVideo account in Step Five.

Step One Review Requirements
Step Two Camera Placement
Fig. 1 - MORE EFFECTIVE: Cameras
are at a 15 to 45 degree downward
lt and are mounted 8 to 20 feet high.
Fig. 2 - LESS EFFECTIVE: Cameras are
directly overhead (90 degrees) or
parallel to (0 degrees) the target
To opmize event detecon, the cameras you use with CheckVideo
should be placed as follows:
• HEIGHT: Each camera must be installed 8 to 20 feet o the
ground.
• DISTANCE: The distance between camera and target depends
on your camera’s focal length. For example, for a 3.6 mm lens,
if you are mainly detecng people, the distance between the
camera and the people you wish to detect should be 10 to 40
feet. If you are primarily concerned with detecng vehicles, the
range is 20 to 60 feet. See the CheckVideo Camera Placement
Guide for more details and for addional guidelines on
improving your camera placement.

Installaon Quick Reference
Step Three Gateway Setup
1. Aach the antennas to the Franklin Module. The antenna with
the white stripe at the base should be on the le when looking
at the front of the device (Fig. 3).
2. Extend the ps of the antennas outward from the Module.
There should be a good distance between the ps, but not so
great that they are at (Fig. 4).
3. Connect the USB cable between the USB port on the Gateway
back panel and the USB port on the front of the Franklin
Module (Fig. 5).
4. Connect each camera’s video cable to a camera port on the
back of the Gateway.
5. Plug in the power to the Franklin Module (12V DC, 1A).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the Gateway’s power supply (which
is larger) to power up the Franklin module. Doing so may
seriously damage the module.
6. Plug in the power to the Gateway (9V, 1.66A).
7. Wait a few minutes for the power light on the front of the
Gateway to ash rapidly.
8. When the ashing slows to one second per pulse, proceed to
the next step in the process (see reverse).

Note: The only way to see the precise signal strength that the
Gateway actually receives is through the monitor output.
But you can use a Sprint phone to nd the spot in your
facility where you get the best signal.
Step Four 3G Signal Strength (oponal)
Step Seven Device Conguraon
Fig. 8a - A zone, dened by eight end points
(rst point is green; other points are blue)
Fig. 8b - A completed zone
Make sure there is an adequate 3G signal to your Gateway.
You can see the precise signal strength by aaching a monitor to
the Monitor output on the Gateway back panel. The monitor could
be a TV with a BNC to RCA cable.
It may take up to ve minutes for the Received Signal Strength
Indicaon (RSSI) to be displayed on your monitor (Fig. 6).
The RSSI should show a 3G signal strength of greater than -84 to
-86 dBm. Remember that -86 is a negave value, so -85 would be a
beer signal strength than -86, -50 would be much beer, etc.
Cellular signal strength will vary over me. Addionally cellular
network capacity will vary over me. These consideraons must be
taken in to account when deploying a mobile broadband soluon.
1. On the CheckVideo Dashboard, click on Devices >
Congure Device.
2. Select Device: Select the device and video resoluons.
3. Congure Events: Click the Edit buon to create
a zone for a parcular object type. Then use your
mouse to draw the zone by clicking the le mouse
buon wherever you want to dene a point of the
zone. The zone should cover the enre area where
you want to detect an event. Enter a me span, event
type, zone, and duraon and click Add Event buon.
4. Select Nocaon Method - Central Staons: Select a
Central Staon type that should receive alert metadata.
5. Select Nocaon Method - Users: Click the checkbox
next to any user(s) who should receive nocaons
for this camera and their method of nocaon.
6. Click Save.
