Camera Set Up

Step 1:

Charge your camera with provided charger. Light will be orange until charged then light will turn green. Full charge can take up to eight (24) hours to complete.

Step 2:

On the back of the camera is a switch. The switch must be turned to the “gear” position to work properly in the housing.

Step 3:

Remove micro SD card from adaptor and place in appropriate slot in camera.

Step 4:

Using provided USB cord, plug camera into your computer. Install Brickhouse software located on the SD card inside your camera or click this link:

Step 5:

Run BHS software.

Below are the recommended default settings to use with the Dissembler. This allows up to 36 hours of total recording.

Important, the time and date on your computer must be synced with the camera otherwise the camera will default to an arbitrary date and time.

Note: Vertical flip allows for proper orientation, otherwise your videos will be up-side-down.

Note: PIR-Trigger (Passive Infrared Sensor) is disabled due to distance limitations. Leaving it enabled can decrease battery life.

Note: Motion Trigger Sensitivity may be enabled but can be very sensitive. A leaf blowing by, rain, change in shadows by passing clouds can trigger a recording.

Scheduled Recording: Click Edit. To pick specific schedule times to record, left click and hold in the day/time you wish to start and drag the mouse to the time you wish to stop recording. A window will pop up after you have made your selection prompting options for types of recordings.

Click “Create” when done. Repeat as necessary for this schedule. When finished setting up the schedule, click “OK” and you will return to the main settings.

Step 6:

Sync settings to DVR by clicking “Sync Settings to DVR”. The orange exclamation triangle will change to a green check mark when the process is complete.

Deployment

To turn on the camera hold the button down until you see the green light come on. The green light will flash as it powers up. The light will turn off once the camera finishes booting up. This process can take up to 30 seconds. The camera is still on.
