Camera Installation at Snowed Inn in Park City, Utah
Where: Snowed Inn Restaurant and Sleigh Riding Company
Located On Mountain at: Park City Mountain Resort - Park City, Utah
When Installed: January 2010
Link: http://www.snowedinn.tzo.net/
Installation Components:
1. StarDot Technologies - Express 4 Server (SDEXP4 at 4x30fps).
2. 24V Power Supply (AC411UL)
3. Three 24V (Dual Voltage) Mini Domes with Auto Iris and Varifocal Lens 2.6mm-6mm (C540MD2VAI 540L).
4. Two Dome Mounts (MDWMT).
Problems Faced:
1. Lighting: Dark to light situations with strings of small light chains all over the metal ceilings which limited camera locations. Main movement is lunchtime and after dark. It was decided by me and the owner where the cameras would be located. With this in mind I used an Auto Iris Analogue Mini Dome with a Varifocal Lens.
2.Mounting the Mini Dome to the Mounts: I had a hard time getting the Mini Dome to slide into the grove provided by the mount. I called the manufacture with the advice that there may be slight modification to be made for the wires to work with the mount. So I ended up taking them back home. I widened the grove with my utility knife and repositioning the wires so they would work buy cutting an opening wider. It looked great and was ready for installation now.
3.Creating a Webpage for the cameras using the tzo.com built in feature on the StarDot Express Server 6: Usually this is very easy by just adding your assigned Number Key and e-mail address to the server configuration. But I wasn’t working. So after a phone call to TZO we concluded it was a problem the wireless connection from up on the ski mountain. Instead of using the feature on the server I downloaded the TZO software on the archiving network computer and entered the Number Key and e-mail address there, it then worked great. The page will show the camera images as long as the computer in on.
4. Accessing the Router to enable Port Forwarding: I had to get the user name and password to access the router from there Wireless Provider. After that I went to the port forwarding tab on the Linksys Router and added the correct information.
