Installation and operation of the Eye Trax Ranger series cellular security camera system does not
require professional installation services. The following User Guide contains detailed instructions
on the web and mobile-based camera software called the User Interface along with procedures for
receiving and installing the outdoor surveillance camera system. The cellular data service for the
cellular surveillance camera is pre-provisioned at the Eye Trax manufacturing facility accompanied
by a User Name and Password to access the controls for the remote webcam system. If there are
any questions regarding the User Name and Password or if the cellular service has been stopped
for any amount of time please call technical support [phone].
The Purchaser of the camera system was emailed the User Name and Password to access the
User Interface and is the Administrator on the account. http://www.eyetrax.net/
The cellular provisioning was pre-configured based on the initial “deploy location” of the camera
during time of purchase. If the camera is going to be relocated far away from the initial “deploy
location” please call [phone] x2 or email tech support to verify cellular coverage.
***Be sure to read the entire User Guide prior to operating the motion activated camera
system and deploying it. There are very important steps to complete in efforts to verify
functionality and proper communication with local cellular tower.***

•Camera
•Solar Panel
•Mounting Brackets
•Mounting Hardware
Test the outdoor camera for functionality before it is deployed to the remote monitoring location.
Step 1. Locate and install the Antenna.
Step 2. Power the camera “ON” by depressing the toggle switch located within the
Camera’s mounting plate.
Step 4. Allow the camera to communicate with the local cellular tower and transmit a
“confirmation picture” back to the User Interface for 30-45 minutes.
Step 3. Log into the “User Interface” by entering the Username & Password that was
emailed with the tracking number of the camera shipment.
(see section: User Interface for software instructions)
Step 3. Request a “Live” image from the User Interface Camera Interface. The average
return time of a “live” image is 30 seconds.
(see section: User Interface for software instructions)
NOTE: Sending a “Live” image request to the camera, will sync the Camera to the
local cell tower and the Eye Trax Servers. This step MUST be done every time the
camera is relocated to new deploy locations.
Step 5. Once pictures have been received to the User Interface and the proper settings
have been set be sure to power the camera “OFF” until ready to use again.
NOTE: Allowing the battery to drop to low voltage levels and then back up ultimately
lowers the life of the battery cells.

NOTE: Cameras located at the extents of the cellular tower coverage will send pictures
at a slower rate, periodically loose connection and use more battery power to send
pictures. Balancing the acquisition rate of the camera and battery life of the camera is
important to maintain functionality.
Battery Life
This icon indicates battery strength available. It is very important to monitor the battery levels in
camera to ensure proper battery life. If the solar panel is not properly charging the battery (see
Solar Panel Installation page #22)or the picture acquisition rate is higher than the charging
system can handle given ranging climate changes and solar exposure, a “WARNING” email will
be remitted every time the camera acquires a new picture.
NOTE: While the solar panel is charging the battery during the day the battery will show
“FULL”. In order to verify proper Solar Panel installation and picture acquisition rate check
the Battery Life indicator between 3am-6am.
NOTE: If battery is low and because of too many pictures or Solar Panel needs adjustment,
adjust the picture acquisition on motion and picture interval settings to “off” for 24 hours or for
as long as it takes the battery to be fully charged again.

Determine Camera Target
Determine the target or center point of camera’s focus point. If using the Motion Sensor for
security camera purposes note that it has an effective distance of 50 ft. in front of viewing area.
Identify Mounting Location
The standard lens installed on the camera is a 3.6mm lens which has 90°angle of view. To
view a desired object or area in the field of view, measure the width and divide by two to
determine the distance from center point of the object to mount the camera.
Camera Installation

License Plate Camera
In order to use the camera as a License Plate Capture camera the internal lens will have to be a
12mm lens with a viewing angle of 32°.If the camera was not pre-ordered with the 12mm lens,
it will have to be retrofitted at the Eye Trax facility.
NOTE: The assumed length of vehicle in diagram is 25 ft. In order for the motion sensor
to trigger upon presence of a vehicle it must be traveling less than 3mph or come to a
complete stop. A vehicle traveling faster than 3mph will not trigger the motion sensor to
acquire pictures.
Motion Detection Distance
If utilizing the motion detector of the camera for security purposes verify the camera is mounted
in a location that will work accurately. The motion detection coverage area is 50ft in front of the
camera and 75 ft. wide at a distance of 50 ft. The recommended mounting height to maximize
the effective area of the motion sensor is 12 ft. and should not exceed 15 ft.
NOTE: Radio frequency (RF) signals may cause the motion sensor to create a false
trigger. Verify that the motion sensor is not pointed in the direction of possible RF
interference.

@ Eye Trax, Inc All Rights Reserved Page 19 of 27
Determine Mounting Options
Once the mounting location has been determined for the camera, look for a suitable mounting
surface including existing poles, trees, and building exteriors. If there is not a suitable location to
mount the camera, Eye Trax offers two solutions for ease of installation and camera
performance. See “Barrel Mounting Pole” and “Modular Mounting Pole” for options.
NOTE: The solar panel requires at least 6 hours of direct unobstructed sun exposure to
keep system running operating. If needed, the solar panel can be installed 100 ft. away
from the camera for proper sun exposure. Eye Trax offers extension wires in 50 ft.
lengths.

surveillance is done in short durations. Once Barrel is full of water it weighs 485 lbs. and can
withstand category III wind speeds.
Tools Required
•10 ft. Ladder
•9/16 in. Wrench
•Tape Measure

Tools Required
•10 ft. Ladder
•9/16 in. Wrench
•Tape Measure
•Pliers
•Phillips Head Screwdriver

with foot.
Step 4. Check the vertical straightness on two sides of the pole using 3ft bubble level
and make adjustments as needed.
Step 5. Pour at least one gallon of water into hole so that the pre-mixed concrete
absorbs the moisture to initiate the hardening process. Wait 24 hours or at until concrete
mix cures before proceeding to Step 6.
Step 6. Install Pole #2 onto Pole #1 using provided 3/8 in. bolt.
Step 7. Install mounting brackets to face plates of Pole #3 using provided screws.
