ACH20-1B Thermal Monocular Camera: Frequently Asked Questions

The following FAQ answers many of the general questions about your thermal monocular camera.

.

How does my thermal monocular camera work?

To improve the visibility of objects in complete darkness, haze, or tough conditions, your thermal monocular camera uses infrared sensors to detect heat given off by a person, animal, or other objects. It creates images of that radiation called thermograms, which display the relative temperatures of different objects with different shades or colors. In a thermogram, warm objects stand out in a contrast or often cooler background. It is widely used in outdoor scenarios for hunting, rescue, animal observation, and more.

Is my thermal monocular camera battery-operated or hard wired?

Your thermal monocular camera is battery-operated, however, to charge the battery you will need to connect the micro-USB cable into your camera’s USB port and the other end into a power source.

Does my thermal camera only work at night?

No. Although thermal imaging cameras are most commonly used for nighttime vision, they can also be useful in daylight. The detection of heat radiation and the high contrast of thermal imaging cameras allow you to see the outlines of (warm-blooded) animals that camouflage well in their environments. It can also help distinguish animals or people in foggy or smoky conditions.

Can my thermal camera see-through walls, metal, or glass?

No, thermal imaging cameras do not see-through surface but detect surface temperatures.

Is thermal imaging and night vision the same thing?

No, thermal imaging can produce pictures without visible light while night vision cameras work by boosting ambient light. Their only common purpose is increasing visibility in low light conditions.

Can bright sunlight damage my camera’s lens?

Yes, aiming your camera’s lens with the lens cap open at powerful light sources (i.e. the sun) is not recommended, as this may adversely affect the accuracy or damage the thermal imager.

What is the clicking noise my camera makes?

This is simply the noise your camera makes while you are shifting it between different fields of view. The noise you are hearing is your camera focusing and calibrating the image to achieve the highest resolution possible.

Should I charge my camera’s battery before first use?

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT V300 LIVE STREAMING

A strong cellular signal on both devices will ensure smooth live streaming.

The V300 series offers the amazing feature of live-streaming as a 40-minute add-on that can be shared between compatible devices over a 12-month period.

Want to test it out first? Upon activation, every V300 includes two minutes of live streaming during the free seven-day trial period.

How to start a live-streaming

What is the difference between live-streaming and 10-second Full HD video?

The live-streaming allows you to see what is happening live around your camera. It can last as long as you have live-streaming minutes in your account. It is great when you receive a notification, and you want to check if there are still some movements.

Your camera stores a 10-second Full HD video on the servers at every detection. You can request the video to understand better what happened during the detection. Simply click on a photo and press the button “Request Full HD video”.

What is the impact on the battery life?

The more you use those features, the more it takes a toll on the battery life.

This is especially true if the V300 doesn’t get a steady and strong signal. Just like your cell phone, the camera will work harder to connect to the cellular tower and communicate information.

If you see the battery life dropping, consider adding the Universal Solar Powerbank to sustain your camera from 6 to 12 months.

How to buy additional live-streaming minutes?

You can easily purchase a live-streaming add-on which will add 40 minutes shareable among all VOSKER streaming devices for the next 12 months.

Learn About Active Deterrent Security Cameras

What Are Active Deterrent Security Cameras?

Active deterrent security cameras aren’t your typical security devices. They integrate advanced technology to proactively prevent criminal activities. Key features include built-in lights, sirens, sounds, and two-way audio.

The Importance of Active Deterrent Security Cameras

You might be wondering, why go the extra mile with these advanced features? Well, the answer is simple: prevention is better than cure. These cameras are designed not just to record incidents but to prevent them altogether.

Crime Prevention

A well-placed security camera can make all the difference. Thieves and intruders are less likely to target a property laden with visible deterrents.

Enhanced Safety

Knowing that your premises are being actively monitored can make you feel safer. Immediate alerts and real-time communication add an extra layer of safety.

Peace of Mind

There’s nothing like the peace of mind that comes from knowing your loved ones and valuables are secure. Active deterrent cameras provide a constant layer of security, ensuring you sleep a little easier at night.

Key Components of Active Deterrent Security Cameras

SIREN AND SPOTLIGHT

Active Deterrence security cameras can activate a loud siren with flashing light or spotlight when motion is activated to deter any potential threats. The light and sound features can be easily customized to meet your specific needs. These cameras are equipped with both traditional infrared night vision and LED spotlight mode for full color images at night when desired. Further, you can set the motion detection to trigger only when humans and/or vehicles are detected to produce the most accurate motion alerts.

Lights

These cameras often come with powerful LED lights that can illuminate large areas. Imagine being able to light up your entire driveway or backyard!

Siren

An ear-piercing siren can scare off even the most determined criminals. As soon as suspicious activity is detected, the siren can be activated to alert both you and the intruder.

Two-Way Audio: A Game-Changer

Two-way audio allows you to communicate in real-time through your security camera system. This feature enhances the effectiveness of the camera by enabling you to interact directly with whoever is on your property.

All our active deterrence security cameras have a built-in microphone and speaker for 2-way audio functionality from your smartphone using our mobile app. The 2-way audio feature provides an extra layer of security by enabling real-time, remote communication with individuals near the security camera. The 2-way audio feature can be used in many different scenarios.

Benefits of Having Two-Way Audio

Advantages of Lights in Security Cameras

Deterrence Effect

A bright light shining in the face of a potential intruder can be incredibly disorienting and threatening. It’s a simple but effective means of deterring unwanted visitors.

Visibility in Low-Light Conditions

If criminals think they can hide under the cover of darkness, security lights will make them think twice. These lights ensure your cameras capture clear footage, no matter the time of day.

Advantages of Sirens in Security Cameras

Immediate Alert

Imagine hearing a siren blaring in the middle of the night because someone tried to break into your home. That’s an alert you can’t ignore!

Deterrence to Intruders

Steps:

Please right-click and hold your mouse for over 10 seconds to see if the system can reboot or not. Or, please try to connect the system to another TV monitor with a higher resolution (above 1080P)

.

Learn how to resolve issues when cameras are missing from your Verkada account

Updated over a week ago

When you log in to Verkada Command, you can only access cameras and video in organizations or sites where your user account has permissions.

Note: Even if you are an Org Admin, you still need to grant yourself permission to view all sites. Learn more about roles and permissions for cameras and Command.

If you log in to Command and cameras are missing or have disappeared, always check user permissions. The most common reason cameras are not visible is that your user account needs permissions to the site(s) where the cameras are configured.

If you are an Org Admin, you can check and correct your own permissions:

Resolve Issues with Night Mode

Resolve Issues with Night Mode

Common issues with IR and Night Mode with steps to resolve them

Updated over a week ago

Each Verkada camera has night vision capabilities, using a sensor to detect low-light situations. When external lighting is low, the camera switches to night mode and records in black and white, using infrared (IR) LEDs to illuminate the environment. If the IR is emitted improperly through the dome or reflected into the lens, it negatively impacts image quality.

Common night mode issues

It is imperative that the dome remain free of debris and the camera is installed properly to achieve the best image quality. When viewing footage in night mode if the footage appears obscured it is most likely the result of one of the following scenarios:

Camera always in night mode

If your camera is always in night mode even where there is sufficient light in the environment the lux (light) value may need to be adjusted. If this is the case, reach out to Verkada Support for further assistance.

Environmental obstruction

If the camera is mounted too close to a wall, ledge, or light source, the image quality may be degraded due to IR reflection.

Recommendation. Ensure that cameras are mounted sufficiently far away from surfaces that may cause the IRs to reflect, such as light sources.

IR obstruction

If a first-generation Dome camera (D30 or D50) is operating in night mode when there is plenty of light, the IR sensor is likely obstructed by the camera housing.

To fix the obstructed light sensor, physically rotate the lens barrel assembly 180° so the sensor and IRs are visible through the camera case.

Example: Proper and improper orientation

Note: After rotating the lens barrel, the camera orientation may need to be changed in Command.

WiFi Camera 3rd Gen setup via Green Feathers app

This guide shows you how to set up your WiFi Bird Box Camera, Solar Powered WiFi Camera, or Garden Wildlife Camera on WiFi

.

Before you begin

Test the WiFi signal strength by taking your smartphone/tablet to the site where you plan to install your camera; if it has a weak signal at the installation site then the camera may struggle to maintain a connection (see section 9 Hints & Tips at the bottom of the guide for help with WiFi signal strength)
.

Insert a micro SD card if you have one; hold the camera with the lens facing up, then insert the micro SD card with the metal contacts facing up. Push it in fully until you feel it click into place. If you have trouble inserting the SD card to the point where it clicks into place, hold it down with your thumb then use a thin object like a pen to push it down fully
.

Before you mount the camera in the bird box, make sure it’s connected to your WiFi router and can be viewed on the app. It’s best to set the camera up when it’s plugged in a different room to your router, then once it’s connected you can unplug it and install it in the final location

Ensure the device being used to set up the camera is connected to the same WiFi network that you want the camera to be connected to (this is only required for the setup process)

Make sure you know the name and password of the WiFi network which the camera will be connected to

Make sure that you are connecting the camera to a 2.4GHz WiFi signal; if you don’t know what this is you can read more here
.

Plug in the power supply into the trailing cable of the camera; after the camera has powered on you will hear a three note chime, and the camera will start saying “Wait for WiFi config”

Remove the lens cap on the camera, if it has one, and remove the cap on the reset button 
.

.

Download the Green Feathers app for Android from the Google Play store by clicking here.

Download the Green Feathers app for iOS from the App store by clicking here.

Let’s get started

To get started, open the app:

.

1. Registering an account

Tap ‘Sign Up’ to create an account, then select ‘Agree’ for the ‘User Agreement and Privacy Policy’. If you have already signed up then skip below to the section called ‘Adding the camera to the app’.

.

.

Once your account is all setup, just log in to the app!
.

2. Adding the camera to the app

The first time you go to the Home page, you can choose to allow the app to use your device location. This is not essential, but helps with some features. Next, click the green ‘+’ icon at the top right of the screen.

..

Now select the model of camera you are setting up, then select “QR mode”:

.

.

3. Setting to QR mode and resetting the camera

Follow the instructions on the app or below to reset the camera.
.

Now tick ‘Next step’ and select ‘Next’.
.

.

4. Entering the WiFi details

Now you need to enter the details of the WiFi network that you want the camera to connect to. The name of the WiFi network which your phone or tablet is connected to should be automatically filled in, so just enter the password. To change the WiFi network your device is connected to, tap the icon to the right of the WiFi name:

.

5. Scanning the QR code

When you select ‘Next’, the app will display a QR code to you. Point the camera 15-20cm away from the QR code, directly facing the screen, and the camera should register it and say ‘Connect router’. When it says this, tap the ‘I Heard a Prompt’ button.

If the camera is not scanning the QR code, try slowly increasing or decreasing the distance between the camera and phone screen to bring the QR code into focus. It can sometimes be easier with the phone placed on a flat surface to help keep the camera pointed in the right direction while slowly moving it.

It is also possible to re-adjust the focus on the lens which can be done by gently twisting it. The nut around the bottom of the lens will need loosening first. It is best to adjust the lens a small amount at a time as it shouldn’t be far out of focus.

After you have tapped the ‘I Heard a Prompt’ button, the app should automatically begin connecting to the camera. 
.

.

After a minute or so, it should have found the camera and added it to the app, you can set a name for the camera now, or later on in the settings menu.

.

6. Troubleshooting

If the camera does not connect to your WiFi:

.

If you have connected it to your internet router, but it shows the message ‘Establishing encrypted channel‘ and doesn’t load: 

Remember, this guide only applies to the 3rd Gen NCIP3WF which was released in December 2020, if you have an older model of the camera have a look at our guide for the NCIP9WF or for the NCIP2WF. If you are unsure which camera you have, have a look at this article.

.

7. Adding and renaming the camera

Now you can rename the camera by tapping the pencil icon to the right of the camera name. Once it is added, to view the camera go back to the ‘Home’ page using the icon at the bottom left then select your camera from the list.

What is Symmetric Encryption Algorithm?

.

In the modern stage of cryptography, the concept of key secrecy was introduced, giving rise to a new encryption algorithm paradigm called symmetric encryption algorithm.

.

Symmetric encryption algorithm, also known as single-key algorithm, is characterized by the use of an identical key for both encryption and decryption. They can be broadly classified into two major types: sequence ciphers (also known as stream ciphers) and block ciphers.

.

The core of stream cipher encryption is the key (also known as the seed key) that goes through a key stream generator to produce a key stream. This key stream is then XORed with the plaintext byte stream to obtain the ciphertext byte stream, encrypting one bit or one byte of the data stream at a time. The encryption process is illustrated in Figure 1.

.

.

Figure 1: Steam Cipher Encryption/Decryption Process

.

The core of block cipher encryption is to divide the plaintext data into fixed-length blocks and encrypt them using a key, resulting in ciphertext blocks. The plaintext is encrypted on a byte-by-byte basis. The process is illustrated in Figure 2.

.

.

Figure 2: Block Cipher Encryption/Decryption Process

.

Block cipher encryption is achieved by grouping the plaintext. To enhance the security in the encryption process and facilitate grouping, two key points are usually considered: encryption modes and padding modes. As for the specific selection of encryption mode or padding mode, it often depends on practical application scenarios, required security strength, and other factors.

.

The introduction of encryption modes mainly considers whether there should be any correlation between different blocks or whether each block should be encrypted independently. Different encryption modes represent different iteration methods used in the encryption process of plaintext blocks. Table 1 provides the advantages and disadvantages of using different encryption modes.

.

.

Table 1: Comparison of Several Encryption Modes

.

The introduction of padding modes mainly addresses the issue of plaintext that is not a multiple of the specified block size. In such cases, the remaining bits need to be padded to match the algorithm’s specified block size. During encryption, the plaintext is padded, and during decryption, the padding needs to be removed according to the same padding mode. Table 2 presents several common padding methods in block ciphers.

.

.

Table 2: Comparison of Several Padding Methods

.

Symmetric encryption algorithms encompass various algorithms, such as RC4 and ZUC for stream ciphers, and DES, 3DES, and AES for block ciphers. They are mainly used to address issues related to secure transmission, secure storage, and have a wide range of applications. However, these algorithms also have drawbacks, such as difficulties in key distribution and the inability to provide non-repudiation, which restrict their application in certain scenarios.

ATTENTION: Prior to purchasing and installing an accessory antenna, read the product specifications of your receiver to determine if your receiver has a weatherproof housing. Installing your weatherproof receiver outdoors provides a better line-of-sight between the receiver and the camera, increasing the strength of the wireless signal. See your product specifications to determine the weatherproof rating of your receiver.

The Directional Wireless Panel Antenna and the Omni-Directional Antenna are used to extend the range of one or multiple wireless or wire-free cameras.

Directional Wireless Panel Antenna (ACCANTD9)

Omni-Directional Antenna (ACCANTO8)

Use the 2.4GHz Directional Wireless Panel Antenna (ACCANTD9) to focus a wireless signal onto one specific wireless device (camera or receiver) to increase the range of transmission. A clear line-of-sight between the antenna and the wireless device needing range extension is required.

Use the 2.4GHz Omni-Directional Antenna (ACCANTO8) to enhance the signal of one or multiple cameras that are paired to a single or dual antenna receiver. You may also use two Omni-Directional Antennas to extend the range of all cameras paired to a dual antenna receiver.

REQUIREMENT: To connect the antenna directly to the camera or receiver, the device must have a removable SMA type antenna. Visit www.lorextechnology.com/compatibility to ensure the antenna is compatible with your camera or receiver model.
