MICROSEVEN FIRMWARE SOFTWARE
Note: We provide the following software installation and setup notes for your convenience. If you have only shielded cables, use them, and if you find the cameras are rebooting themselves, or stalling, every now and then, buy some unshielded cables and try them instead. If you use a shielded cable instead of an unshielded cable, it is unlikely you will experience any problems with ground loops, but it is possible. The unshielded cable from the Faraday enclosure wall to the PoE switch guarantees that there will be no ground loops created by the various webcam cables. The shielded cable within the enclosure is necessary to minimise the transmission of noise by the ethernet signals, which can otherwise disturb reception of our telemetry signals. We recommend an unshielded cable from the PoE switch to the ethernet feedthrough, then a shielded cable from the feedthrough to the cable provided by the camera. A black unshielded ethernet cable connects to a PoE switch. The other end of the blue cable connects to an ethernet feedthrough, which is visible behind the white dome of the camera. This webcam provides a white cable into which we plug a blue, shielded ethernet cable. In the photograph below we see a free-hanging ethernet feedthrough connecting the blue and black ethernet cables that make the connection between the PoE switch and the webcam.įigure: Cable Connections for a Telemetry-Compatible Webcam (TCW1B). We place the camera inside a Faraday enclosure and connect it to an ethernet feedthrough in the enclosure wall. It requires only one ethernet cable connection for power and communication.
The TCW is a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) webcam. You will need two network cables: one to run from the PoE switch to a feedthrough in the Faraday enclosure, and another to run from the feedthrough to the camera within the enclosure. We can connect multiple TCWs to the same PoE switch as our telemetry receivers and data acquisition computer.
MICROSEVEN FIRMWARE DRIVER
The LWDAQ Driver is in turn connected to an Octal Data Receiver for telemetry reception.īecause the TCW require only one ethernet cable for power and communication.
We guarantee that they will not disturb your SCT recordings.įigure: Telemetry Compatible Webcam Connected to PoE Switch Along with LWDAQ Driver and Data Acquisition Computer. Our TCW cameras are models we have tested with our SCT system, and for which we have measured microwave power radiation with our own instruments. We supply the camera with a short, shielded network cable and a long, unshielded netrok cable.Ĭommercially-available webcams can distrupt reception of our subcutaneous transmitter (SCT) signals.
The camera itself is manufactured by MicroSeven. The videos generated by the TCW are not compatible with the Videoarchiver's video navigation, so you must navigate through the video with a separate video viewer.įigure: Telemetry-Compatible Webcam (TCW1B). Although the TCW is a fraction of the cost of an ACC, but the synchronization it provides is no better than a ☖0 s, compared to the ACC's ☑00 ms. Currently, there is only one such model, made by MiroSeven. The TCW is any model of webcam that runs off true Power over Ethernet (PoE) and that we have tested with our telemetry system. Instead of buying the ACC from us, you buy a TCW on the consumer market.
