Installing the Idrive X-Camera(s)
Call us at any point in the installations -there is much to teach the client but initially we will help with some basics -After several days of collecting data from the cameras Idrive Support will then schedule a Two Hour Idrive Control Center Software training that we perform webinar style 😊
First Steps Station (Cellular Only) and Cameras Installation
When a client has Cellular only they still require a single Base Station for Administrative settings:
- Vehicle Names
- vehicle weights
- G-Forces
- No Access Point will be needed at the Base Station unless Client vehicles are stationed to park at the main office location with the PC
'The Idrive Base Station PC
- The NIC labeled Internet connection connects to the client network for internet (LAN)
- The NIC labeled Idrive Wireless connects to the LAN port of the PoE (will not be needed unless an AP is installed)
'If' Installing the AP
- Connect the antenna to the Access Point
- Cover the joint with the supplied Butyl tape
- Then cover the Butyl tape with electrical tape
- Then the AP can be mounted and the shielded network cable connected to the AP then to the PoE
- the PC connects to the LAN side, the AP connects to the PoE side of the PoE
- Call Idrive Support to Perform first Start Up procedures on both the PC and the Access Point (AP)...
- Configure Base Station and verify good server communications
- (If using an AP) Configure Access Point for WiFi Environment specific to clients location
- We will look at the AP channel use and best practices for you and then Idrive Support will supervise the connection going forward
Installing the Idrive X-Camera(s)
Idrive X-Cameras are installed identical to clients using a Base Station with the inclusion of two procedures before power connections are made;
- Plug the GSM (Ground Station Cellular Module) into the port on the back of the camera
- Affix the GSM to the windshield
- Place GSM away from the X Camera to the right or left with clear view to the sky
- The Camera must be updated with a provided USB Thumb Drive (one per client) to load configuration files into the camera so the GSM will recognize the network to connect to
Call us at any point in the installations
-There is much to teach the client but initially we will help with some basics
-Cellular Clients will need to be familiarized with the Idrive Global Center
-After several days of collecting data from the cameras Idrive Support will then schedule a Two Hour Idrive Control Center Software training that we perform webinar style 😊
