Chapter 1: Overview

.............................................

.

The purpose of this document is to provide a Mesh Camera System Product Installer (or Field

Engineer) with the required information necessary to setup and configure a Sony SNC-RX550N/W-

MT camera for use within a Motorola MEA (WMB) or MOTOMESH environment.

Motorola’s intelligent MEA technology turns all Mesh Camera System nodes and clients into

router/repeaters that form a seamless, wireless network automatically. A Mesh Camera System

network can be deployed independently, or as part of a wider mesh network using additional MEA

devices. Video and other broadband data can "hop" through every device in the network – even to and

from vehicles traveling at highway speeds. Due to this Multi-Hopping feature, the video network

actually becomes more robust as additional cameras and other MEA devices are added.

How to Use this Guide

.............................................

.

Due to the fact that the Mesh Camera System product kits utilize several components to be setup and

configured, this Guide will focus on the setup and configuration of the Motorola MOTOMESH

WMC7300 wireless cards for use with the Sony SNC-RX550N-MT camera. Detailed dome housing

and hardware assembly information, as well other Camera Setup information will be referred to the

specific manufacturer’s document(s). This document will provide an overview of the entire product

assembly along with tips from the field wherever possible.

Other Required Reference Materials

The following is a list of manuals that will be referenced throughout this document to provide you with

greater detail for the specific Mesh Camera System component.

About the Products

.............................................

.

The Motorola Wireless Mesh Broadband camera kits are packaged solutions for wireless data users

interested in wireless broadband video capabilities. The kits include the basic hardware, software and

mounting brackets for a video system deployment. For the WMB Mesh Camera System is based on the

2.4 GHZ unlicensed band, the MOTOMESH Mesh Camera System is based on the 4.9 GHZ licensed

band or the 2.4 GHZ unlicensed band, and MeshTrack Mesh Camera System is based on the 2.4 GHZ

unlicensed band.

Overview of Mesh Camera System Setup and

Installation

.............................................

.

The following represents a general Setup and Deployment flow of the Mesh Camera System product to

assist you with deployment:

1. Unpack Sony Camera

2. Configure Sony Camera via Ethernet Cable (Use this Guide and a WMC7300 Users Guide)

3. Install Sony Camera into Dome Housing (Use hardcopy of Indoor and Outdoor Dome Housing or

PDF)

4. Install Camera assembly into final location (Use this Guide)

5. Manage Camera using Motorola MeshManager and Sony RealShot Manager (Use this Guide,

RealShot Users Guide, and Sony Network SNCRX550 Camera Users Guide)

Device Assembly Components

.............................................

.

The following is a list of grouped components that need to be setup individually and then combined for

a successful deployment. Please read ALL the instructions PRIOR to beginning the actual setup as

certain assembly procedures depend on others for a stress free experience. You will find the Tips

from the Field sections to be very helpful.

• Sony SNC-RX550N/W-MT Camera (individually boxed)

• Camera Dome and associated parts, hard copy of Dome Instructions (boxed together)

• Gooseneck (individually boxed)

• Wall Mount Bracket (individually boxed)

• PELCO Power Supply (Model #WCSI-4) –

NOT PART OF KIT – Must be ordered

separately (individually boxed)

Device Assembly Sequence

The Device Assembly can be broken down into three main parts, Part I - Pre-Configuration, Part II -

Indoor Assembly, and Part III - Outdoor Installation, prior to configuring the Motorola WMC7300

wireless card for the MOTOMESH network.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION about Transporting the Camera and the

Dome to a Site

NEVER TRANSPORT THE CAMERA AND DOME WHILE FULLY ASSEMBLED

for long distances. Doing so will cause damage to the Camera and the Dome.

The Camera and Dome can be transported a short distance when taking care

to store and protect the unit during transport.

Part I – Pre-Configuration

1. Inspect the Camera Installation Site for the following information prior to beginning the Indoor

Assembly tasks, whenever possible:

A.) How much 24 VAC cord Length will be needed (per camera)

B.) How much 120VAC cord length will be needed (per camera)

C.) What type of Bracket will be required to attach camera assembly to pole

2. If there are several cameras to install and you would like to save time in the long term, you can

choose to:

A.) Wire-up a temporary power supply:

i. three prong wall plug 120V

ii. two-conductor power wire

3. Write down the MAC Address of each Wireless Modem Card in the table provided below, as you

will need it later for configuration purposes. The MAC Address is provided on a label located on

the back of a Motorola WMC7300 card.

Correct Motorola Wireless Modem Card Insertion Technique

To properly insert a WMC7300 Card into a Sony RX5500N/W-MT camera that

is resting on a hard surface (as shown in graphic “A” below); hold the WMC

card with the color label facing DOWN (the MAC Address label will be facing

UP). Inserting the card incorrectly into the camera can damage the pins

inside the camera.

Part II - Indoor Assembly Tasks (On the Bench)

1. Install the camera in the outdoor dome housing with the power/alarm plugs hanging out the back.

(Do Not Use the Indoor and Outdoor Housing manual provided in Dome box for STEP B ONLY.)

A.) Unscrew plate in the bottom of the outdoor housing.

B.) Line up and attach the camera onto the mounting plate as per the instructions provided

in this section. DO NOT FOLLOW the directions in the Indoor and Outdoor Housing

manual.

NOTE: The camera is mounted correctly on the mounting plate when the fan is

positioned to blow directly on the PCMCIA slot. See the figures below for the exact

camera mounting location.
