Camfire PC Installation and User's Guide 3
Installing the Camfire PC System
If you have one whiteboard in the room, you only need one camera boom. However, if you
have more than one whiteboard, you may want to install a camera boom above each one.
You can do this easily because a single computer can control as many as four camera
booms. The installation procedure varies, depending on whether you plan to use one camera
boom with the computer or several.
Single Camera Boom
To install a Camfire PC system that saves the notes from one whiteboard, you’ll need to:
1. Mount the camera boom on the wall (page 4).
2. Connect an external power supply, if required (page 9).
3. Connect the camera boom to your computer (page 13).
4. Install Camfire PC software and Notebook software (page 15).
5. Attach the capture slide to the whiteboard (page 15).
Multiple Camera Booms
To install a Camfire PC system that saves the notes from multiple whiteboards, you’ll need to:
1. Mount the camera booms on the wall (page 4).
2. Connect the camera booms to each other in a daisy-chain pattern (page 7).
3. Connect any external power supplies that may be required (page 9).
4. Connect the first camera boom in the chain to the computer (page 13).
5. Install Camfire PC software and Notebook software (page 15).
6. Attach a capture slide to each whiteboard (page 15).
