Passive Cameras

If you have purchased a photo documentation camera (1781-CAMS-PD-XX) then you will not need to enable the camera as passive as the scanner will auto-detect that it is a photo documentation camera and set it to passive. However, you will need to set the other parameters related to passive camera functionality. For more information, see Cameras Menu article.

If you did not purchase a photo documentation camera but wish to use a camera as passive, take the following steps:
1. Mount and aim the camera where desired and plug into RaPTr Scanner.
2. From RUN MODE, press F5 or click on the RaPTr logo located in the top right corner.

2. Click the CONFIGURE button.

3. If not currently shown, navigate to the Camera you wish to configure by clicking the CAMERAS button, and then click the serial number of the target camera.

4. If the Passive Camera section is not currently shown, use the scroll bar on the right-hand side of the Camera window to scroll to the middle of the sub-menu.

5. Under the Passive Camera section, the passive camera should be automatically enabled. If it is not, select Enable. Optionally, change the Image Delay and Hide Image Display parameters. For more information, see Cameras Menu article.

6. Open the camera enclosure to adjust the Field of View (FOV) using the camera lens Zoom (outer ring) until desired area is shown. Adjust the lens Aperture (inner ring) for light and adjust the Focus (middle ring) until image reaches desired crispness.

7. Repeat this process for all connected photo documentation cameras.

8. SAVE the settings changes.

9. Restart the RaPTr Scanner.
