Overlay
The overlay settings give the integrator the freedom to choose the overlay options they would like. Text height
options include 24 pixels, 48 pixels, and 96 pixels. The overlay requires an x pixel location, y pixel location and an
overlay text pixel height. The x and y location indicate position to place text. The overlay functionality and API are
being finalized and more detail will be available soon.
Camera Access
Accessing the stream over Wi-Fi is as simple as connecting to its Wi-Fi signal and sending it commands through a
browser or the HTTP/XML interface. This open interface also means that if you are on a shared network, anyone
else with access to your local network can also connect to your camera and view your streaming video or send
commands. To help protect access to the camera, we have provided a user id and password. Once the user id and
password are set, all requests to the camera must first be authenticated. Removing the user id and password are
as simple as entering an empty string for the user id and password. In addition, if you are using Wi-Fi, you may
wish to change the default password to something you create, however, once this is done, you will need to remove
your Wi-Fi camera profile and re-connect with the new password.
Battery Choices
The STREAM battery end cap uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. It is a 3.7 Volt, 1800 mA battery and it
should be used only with a compatible battery charger. It is designed to last roughly 2 hours of battery life,
however, this will vary based on settings (higher resolution and data rate will have lower battery life). Please
contact us if you have other battery life needs. Other batteries may be used with the USB end cap. Many USB
batteries are available commercially. The STREAM should work with batteries that have a 5V, 600 mA to 2 Amp
Output.
Each type of battery has advantages and disadvantages when used in the STREAM. The camera battery level
indicators have been tailored to the battery provided in the battery end cap so other commercial batteries would
need evaluation for battery level detection/reporting.
As with all Lithium batteries, the STREAM’s Lithium Ion battery has a limited temperature range.

Multiple Cameras
It is fairly straightforward to set up multiple cameras to view multiple streams simultaneously from one computer.
There are several ways to do this:
1)
All cameras viewed through Wi-Fi –
If all cameras will be viewed through Wi-Fi, the best way to set up multiple cameras is to set up each camera
as a client connection on an available Wi-Fi router. This is best done by temporarily using the USB end cap to
modify the Wi-Fi settings of the camera (using the camera’s HTML application’s Wi-Fi tab, or your own
