Adding a new camera and getting it calibrated

public

Symptoms

  • A new camera is mounted and you want it detecting in seeo

Cause

This is a how-to, not a fault: a new camera needs to be added to your site and calibrated before detections are reliable.

Resolution

  1. Mount the camera with a clear view of the area you want monitored, then connect it to power and network.
  2. Add the camera to your site in seeo so it appears with a live view.
  3. Allow the calibration period to complete — calibration tunes detection to this camera's angle, height, and lighting.
  4. Assign the camera to the detection rules that should cover it.

Verification

The camera shows live video, reports calibrated, and a walk-through test produces a correct detection.

Escalate if

Calibration does not complete, or detections stay unreliable after it — seeo support will review the mounting angle and lighting.
