Introduction
HALO Smart Sensor is an IoT device that detects environmental changes that occur in privacy concern
areas where surveillance cameras can’t be installed. HALO Smart Sensor is capable of detecting vape,
smoke, THC and shouting in areas a camera cannot be placed. Additional sensors give HALO the ability to
monitor air quality for temperature, humidity, hazardous chemicals and more. When the sensor values
exceed normal levels, HALO Smart Sensor can send alerts to security personnel.
Device Setup
Setup Prerequisites.
1. One or more HALO Smart Sensor devices connected to a standard office network where the steps
in the HALO Installation Procedure have been followed resulting in confirmation that the device
is operating and physically connected to the network.
2. The network must be (at least temporarily) be provided with a DHCP Server to provide initial IP
Addresses.
3. If static addressing is planned, then then correct subnet mask, gateway address, and DNS address
must be known.
4. An accessible Windows 10 PC (temporarily) connected to the same network must be available.
This PC must have the Chrome browser installed and must have the HALO Setup Tool.exe copied
to its desktop. HALO Setup Tool does not require any installation.
Finding the HALO Smart Sensor Devices on the Network
Start the HALO Setup Tool on the PC by double clicking the program Icon. The program scans the network
looking for HALO Devices. After a few seconds, the MAC address of each HALO device should be displayed
in the list at the left.

10
v1.3
There should be a list member for each HALO device on the network. The HALO Setup Tool does not scan
beyond the local network subnet (such as 192.168.1.X for example). Devices on other subnets, even
though physically connected, will not be seen.

11
v1.3
Connection to a HALO Smart Sensor
Select the MAC address for the desired HALO device. A window showing the current device information
will be displayed as shown below:
This selection also enables the Connect button shown below;
Click the Connect button, this will display the login dialog shown below:
The default Username is “admin” and the default password is the displayed MAC address entered with all
upper case and no dashes, for example, B827EB0A14E3. Note that 0 is always numeric zero. Click OK to
connect to the HALO device. Make note of this password as it is needed again later.

12
v1.3
Network Mode
When the connection is complete, the Network Info form will be displayed as below:
If the Mode is Automatic, this is likely a new Device. The Device may be left in DHCP (Automatic) Mode if
the system administrator allows this type of operation. If the Mode is Static, this Device has likely been
previously setup for with a Static IP address which will be displayed here.

13
v1.3
Live View
The Live View page is the first page users see when connecting to the HALO Smart Sensor. Live View
displays a real-time, graphical display of the state of each of the individual on board sensors.
Google Chrome is the recommended and preferred browser for use with HALO Smart
Sensor.

Configure
Click the Configure button to edit the display settings for the Live View tab.
MJPEG Configuration
Graphs
Graphs are the method of displaying the sensor activity visually that appear on the Live View Tab. The
graphs can display each of the configured Events that have been configured on the Events Tab.
Check the Show check box next to each entry in the list to enable the display of the selected Event.
Unchecking the Show checkbox will disable the display of the selected Event.
The Min and Max values allow the administrator to define the thresholds for the selected Event. The
threshold will determine the sensitivity of the selected sensor Event.
Click on the Color button to define the color of the selected Event Gauge.
Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to define the order of the Event Gauges as they will be displayed
in the Live View tab.
Click the Save button to save defined settings and click the Defaults buttons to set default settings.

Sensors
The Sensors tab displays the real-time activity of the Sensor Array on-board HALO Smart Sensor.
Operators who prefer to monitor the status of the HALO Smart Sensor via plain text-based data can choose
this view instead of the Live View that provides a graphical display of values, thresholds and alerts.
Each of the individual sensors, including Air Particulates, Environment, Air Quality, Gasses, Noise and
Movement are displayed separately.

16
v1.3
Events
Events are functions that trigger Actions based on the values of the various HALO Sensors (Data
Sources). As the thresholds of these Events are crossed, the corresponding Event’s Action is triggered.
Events Identifiers are unique friendly names for Data Sources + Threshold Settings + (optional) Advanced
Conditions.
The available Data Sources are:
•Temperature (C)
•Temperature (F)
•Relative Humidity
•Visible Light
•TVOC
•CO2eq
•TVOC (Filtered)
•
CO2eq (Filtered)
•SM. Particulates

17
v1.3
A default set of Events are pre-programmed in HALO Smart Sensor.
The Events are listed in order and each has an associated Threshold field that can be edited based on the
local environment.
Additional Events can be manually programmed, and any Data Source may be used with multiple Events.
This is accomplished by entering a Unique Friendly Name into the Event Identifier field and selecting a
Data Source from the drop-down menu. The unique name must not contain special characters or spaces.
Locations with more than one HALO Smart Sensor should use the same Event name for each HALO.
Defining a Threshold for the Event and clicking the +Add button completes the programming.
Advanced Conditions
Advanced Conditions allow for filtering and combining values numerically and logically.
Any filtering and numeric operations must be specified first for the original Data Source and can then be
followed by logical combining other Data Sources or Events.
All functions are performed left-to-right unless parenthesis group items to do first on the right.
Order does not matter for some sets of functions (+ and -, smooth and zero and rate, etc.).
A checkbox allows the Advanced Conditions for any Event to the examined and/or edited. A blue square
around the checkbox indicates that Advanced Conditions are present for an Event.
To enable the Advanced Conditions, check Advanced checkbox.
Click on the Question Mark icon for more details and examples.

18
v1.3
Actions
The Actions tab allows administrators to define what Actions occur when the threshold of an Event is
triggered. Administrators can define Actions that will generate notifications via email, text or VMS, and
bring attention to the surrounding environment of the HALO Smart Sensor. Each defined Event can have
multiple Actions.
The Available Actions are:
Trigger Relay 1 On/Off
On, 5 sec, 10 sec, 20 sec, 1 min
Trigger Relay 2 On/Off
On, 5 sec, 10 sec, 20 sec, 1 min

Notifications can be sent for both Set (exceed the threshold into the alarm range), and/or Reset (cross
threshold back into normal range) occurrences. Check the checkbox for Email Set, Email Reset, VMS Set,
or VMS Reset to enable or disable notifications for the selected Event Identifier’s Threshold crossings.
Use the dropdown menus to specify the operations of the Relays, LED and Sound for each Event Identifier.
Click on the Save button to save any changes made.

19
v1.3
Audio Settings
HALO Smart Sensor features an on-board speaker, so that audible notifications can be broadcast on
Events.
The Speaker Volume is controlled on the Actions tab. Enter a value of 0 (off) to 127 (Max Vol) in the
Speaker Volume field to edit the volume settings.
Adding a Sound File
Click on the Choose File button to select a Sound File to be added to the HALO Smart Sensor. Once the
file selection has been made, the file name will appear in the Grey area. Click the Upload Wavefile button
to upload and save the file.
Files must be .WAV format, sampled at either 44,100 or 22,050 samples per second, mono or stereo
format. Because of the characteristics of the sound reproduction system, tones above 300 Hz and female
voices will be most audible.
Deleting a Sound File
Click on the File to Delete dropdown menu to select a sound file for deletion. Once the file has been
selected, click the Delete Wavefile button to remove the sound file permanently from the HALO Smart
Sensor.
