1 Brief Introduction
1.1 Overview
Power line security camera (F-PLS) is used to monitor the overhead power line (including
transmission line and distribution line,tower and pole).F-PLS takes photo or short video
periodically or manually,prevent the power line from damaging by people,vehicle or some other
construction machines,such like theft the power line or equipment,wildfire,tower
crane,excavator,especially in the construction site or the road which power line across.
F-PLS is a special camera which integrate with solar panel and battery inside. it also has 2G/3G/4
G communication, GPS positioning, 433MHz access, image recognition, line temperature measure
ment, environmental monitoring, voice broadcast and other functions.
F-PLS is an important part of power line monitoring system. Adopting technologies of image acqu
isition, data calculation, remote control, it provides an intelligent and visible real-time status monit
oring solution for power line and power equipment.

cross-brace installation.
2.3.3 Installation Process
Pic :2 -1 Pic:2-2
Remove the package.then pull out the solar panel cable and fix it to panel side (hide it in
panel backside and fix it by plugging it to the panel edge), Finally, lock the No.1 and
No.2 screws.
Turn on the power switch and observe and check the red light, if it is blinking normally,
it means normal operation.
Preset the direction of solar panel and camera according to the shooting area and
suspension direction, and pre-install the device. Configure the WeChat account of
on-site debugging person and input related equipment on the platform. Then find the
line to be installed, and test the automatic take photo function.

Hook the angle iron with two screw hooks and lock it with a screw head. As per photo
2-3.
After adjusting the solar panel and camera angle, tighten screws No.1,2,3 and 4.as per
photo 2-4.
Note：
Screw 1: adjust the horizontal angle of the solar panel
Screw 2: adjust the levelness of the camera
Screw 3: adjust the horizontal direction of the camera
Screw 4: adjust the vertical direction of the camera
