Helios Installation Guide

The meters are defined as you move left to right; top to bottom:

• NB Signal (cam) = (915 MHz) signal strength received by the camera

• NB Signal (hub) = (915 MHz) signal strength received by the video hub

• NB Quality (cam) = (915 MHz) signal quality received by the camera

• NB Quality (hub) (915 MHz) signal quality received by the video hub

• WB Signal = (2.4 GHz) signal strength

• WB Noise = (2.4 GHz) noise level

• WB Quality = (2.4 GHz) signal quality

Note: Most cameras are configured with a single “Dual band” antenna that handles

both frequencies that the camera utilizes.

The steps for optimizing the alignment of the camera and video hub are:

1. Click “Start” to begin monitoring the wireless performance for a specific camera

2. Make sure the antenna position maximizes the signal strength (note there is a 4

second delay from an adjustment being made, until the result may be seen on

screen)

3. Click “Stop”, followed by “back” when finished making adjustments.

Wait for the button to change from “resetting” back to “align”

IMPORTANT: BEFORE LEAVING THE ANTENNA ALIGNMENT SCREEN, YOU MUST

SELECT STOP. IF STOP IS NOT PERFORMED, THE CAMERA AND VIDEO HUB MAY

REMAIN IN “ALIGNMENT MODE” AND NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. (Video may not be

sent to the VMS system, and/or hub performance will be greatly reduced)
