Introduction
EYERIDE400/800This guide explains how to set up the hardware components of Mitech Technology LLC’s EYERIDE400/800 security system.
Theseunitsprovidestate-of-the-artsecurity functionality, including live video streaming, video recording and playback, motion
detection, sensor management, real-time event notification, and device activation. All of these features can be accessed remotely
via PC, PDA, or cellular telephone.
The EYERIDE 400/800 is optimized for deployment in vehicles. It has built-in support for cable-based, WiFi, and
cellular networking, and contains an internal GPS receiver that makes it possible to track the location and
route of the vehicle in which it is installed.
Once the EYERIDE 400/800 has been installed as explained in this guide, it must be configured. Configuration is
performed by connecting to the EYERIDE400/800 unit using a PC that is on the same network as the unit (or connected
to the unit directly using a LAN cross cable) and opening the unit’s configuration utility in a browser. For additional
information about configuring your EYERIDE400/800, please refer to the Embedded Video Gateway System
Guide.

Installing the EYERIDE400/800 System 9
NOTE: Installing the unit and its peripheral equipment in a vehicle is a complex process. It is highly
recommended that it be performed by a trained specialist in vehicle installations.
Selecting a Location for the Unit
The unit should be installed in a cool and ventilated location, protected from direct sunlight and water. It should not
be installed in a closed location, such as the in the trunk or dashboard, or under the paneling, of a car. Ensure the
unit has at least a few centimeters (1–2 inches) of space above it and on all sides for ventilation. It can be installed
either horizontally or vertically.
WhenchoosingalocationfortheEYERIDE400/800,bearinmindthattheunitmustbeconnectedtothevehiclebatteryand
ignition (if required), that other devices (cameras, sensors, PC, etc.) must be connected both to it and to power
sources, and that the GPS antenna and cellular modem must be located relatively high up and in exposed locations
(seeConnectingtheEYERIDE400/800 toanExternalNetwork,page2 9 ;ConnectingtheGPSAntenna,page31).Choosea
location in which these connections are feasible.
Preventing Overheating
EYERIDE400/800 units that are installed in cars should be placed in the passenger compartment in a location that is cooled by
the car's air-conditioning when the air conditioner is on.
Units that are installed in trucks or buses should be installed in an insulated container with a built-in fan. Containers
of this type are available for purchase from vehicle-accessory suppliers. The container should be installed in the
vehicle in an accessible location, with as much ventilation as possible. The cellular modem, and the end of the GPS
antenna,shouldbeplacedoutsidethecontainer.(Thecellularmodemshouldbeconnectedtothe EYERIDE400/800 unitusinga
USB extension cord; see Connecting the EYERIDE400/800 to an External Network, page 29.)
