System Overview
MicroPower Technologies has developed a unique power and wireless technology,
TrustLinx, that is 90% lower power and 400% longer range than traditional wireless IP
video camera technology With this proprietary and patented technology, the
MicroPower outdoor IP video cameras can be operational for five days without being
recharged by the sun and maintain 24 hour operation at 5 frames per second (fps) In
addition, TrustLinx, has a unique capability to cooperate with multiple wireless
technologies that allow the transmission of video data at a potential distance of 1/2 mile
with the highest possible video quality
Because of this unique and proprietary technology, the MicroPower Technologies Helios
System with the MPT2500 Rugged-i Solar Wireless IP Video Camera and the MPT2700
MiniHub Wireless Video Hub work in tandem to provide a wireless IP video system
which allows for the placement of the outdoor wireless IP video camera system
practically anywhere that is needed Thus, the MicroPower system eliminates the need
for digging trenches to connect power to outdoor IP video cameras, significantly
reducing installation time and labor costs
Up to six (6) Rugged-i IP video cameras can be associated to each MiniHub The
MiniHub is the data connection to a broadband Internet access point The broadband
Internet access point can be a wireless or wired router, or a broadband modem (cable
model or ADSL modem)

Installation Recommendations
There are 5 major steps that are recommended for a successful installation These are:
1 Site survey
2 System setup
3 Mounting MiniHub and Rugged-i camera
4 Adjust focus of the camera
5 Configure VMS
I. Site Survey
A well-thought out plan for the location of the hub and camera(s) are important steps to
ensuring that the entire system can communicate and integrate with a new or existing
video surveillance and management system For complete guidance on performing a
quality site survey, please refer to the MicroPower collateral titled “Site Survey
Guidelines”
For best results, a line-of-sight design between the Helios system can provide a range of
up to 1/2 mile However, obstacles such as buildings, concrete, steel or stucco walls
and ceilings will impact the wireless performance in terms of reach and data rate
speeds Hence, these items can affect performance and range so that the distance
between the MiniHub and Rugged-i camera may need to be reduced If the distance
between the MiniHub and a Rugged-i camera is too far, then the video will either be
non-operational since the MiniHub and Rugged-i camera did not pair correctly, or there
will be noticeably slower frame rates The distance between the MiniHub and a
Rugged-i camera must be a minimum of 25 feet For further education and guidelines
on RF effects, refer to MicroPower document “A Guide to Optimizing Your RF Setup”
Since the Rugged-i camera is powered by solar, the impact of shadows and sun direction
is an important consideration The Rugged-i does not require direct alignment with the
sun, but it is advisable to place the camera in a location which receives an adequate
amount of sunlight throughout the day The best time to perform a sun profile for all
cameras is during the peak hours of sunlight from 11 a m to 3 p m to determine shadow
avoidance strategies
If the Rugged-i camera is being installed in the Northern Hemisphere, ideally the panels
and cameras should be placed on the OUTH side of a pole or facing OUTH to minimize
Helios Installation Guide

shadows created by the attached pole East and west facing cameras are acceptable but
not optimal Avoid placing the camera on the NORTH end of a pole or facing NORTH If
the Rugged-i camera is installed in the Southern Hemisphere, ideally the panels and
cameras should be placed on the North side of a pole or facing NORTH for minimal
shadow impact
For more information, see the following link
http://www ehow com/how_6069191_install-panel-direction-aiming-degrees html
In addition, areas that are not recommended include:
•Indoors
•Under a roof eave
•Underneath a tree canopy or foliage which does not receive adequate sunlight
•Next to a building that will create shadows at a different part of the day
Additionally, please make sure there are minimal obstructions to the camera antennas
and that they are able to be appropriately positioned to receive and transmit data and
video to the hub
II. System Setup
The following steps are required when performing system setup and installations
1 Add antennae to MiniHub
2 Configure MiniHub for the final IP address desired
3 Reboot the hub system
4 Add camera through the web interface
5 Add camera antennae
6 Connect the battery cables to the camera
7 Adjust camera settings if necessary
8 Verify the pairing between the MiniHub and Rugged-I camera in a close
proximity environment
9 View the camera connection through the web interface and Live Connection
10 Begin mounting process of the final locations for the MiniHub and cameras

For most systems, the pairing between the MiniHub and the Rugged-I Camera have not
been performed If the pairing between the MiniHub and Rugged-I camera has been
performed by the factory (steps 1 – 5 have been completed), the user only need to
perform the VMS setup Refer to the documents titled VMS setup for your specific
VMS
During the configuration and pairing exercise, the antennas for the MiniHub and
Rugged-i Camera are required to be attached before the battery connection with the
camera is connected
A. Accessing the MiniHub
Accessing the MiniHub is similar to setting up a wireless router in the home A display
or network console is used to directly address the MiniHub There are two basic
topologies in which the MiniHub can be addressed The common method for systems
which already have a sophisticated network in place is addressing the MiniHub through
a network switch It is also possible to communicate to the MiniHub from a server
directly to the MiniHub through a crossover cable Below are illustrations of both
topologies

B. System Setup via the MiniHub
It is important to configure the MiniHub first, prior to pairing the MiniHub to the
Rugged-i cameras System setup is performed through a web Interface while addressing
the MiniHub through a network console, similar to how a wireless router is configured in
a home setting
The MiniHub must be connected to a network switch prior to configuring the MiniHub
or directly to a laptop/network server through a crossover cable Communication to
the administration console application of the MiniHub is performed through a standard
browser via a network console (Note: The MiniHub is a fully operational Linux server
Any application that is loaded on to the MiniHub will nullify the MicroPower
Technologies warranty )
To configure the MiniHub, you will need to:
1
Connect the AC power cable to the MiniHub and plug into a power source
2
Connect MiniHub Antennae
3
Power on the MiniHub using the toggle button on the rear of the unit Make sure the
Rugged-i camera and MiniHub are at least 25 feet away from each other
4
Configure the network console so that it can directly address the MiniHub The default
IP address of the MiniHub is 192 168 0 100 You may need to modify the IPv4 adapter
settings of the network console to match the default MiniHub IP address, since it is
required to be in the same domain to be addressable To communicate to the MiniHub,
the first three numbers of the IP address of the network console need to match that of
the default MiniHub IP address In this case, it is necessary to enter 192 168 0 XXX
where XXX is any number not previously issued within connected network

Below is an example screen of modifying the IPv4 properties in Windows to make this
change
.
Press OK
5
To communicate to the MiniHub through the network console, type the default IP
address of the MiniHub in a browser
http://192 168 0 100
This is a temporary IP address which will eventually be modified through the system
setup application
At this point, a login screen will appear This is the MicroPower Technologies setup
application This login screen will look like the following
