Step 4Setting up the system.
I used double back tape to mount the router in place.
Stick the mobile device into the router, plug the Ethernet cord from the camera into the router, plug the usb fan into the router, and plug the power cable into the router. Plug the camera and the router into the GFCI, then plug the main power cord into a power source. After several seconds your system should be running.
Plug a computer into the router via Ethernet.
There are a few settings you might want to change within the router and camera.
Its a good idea to purchase a static IP with your mobile device. Set up the camera and the router with the proper IP settings.
Set up wifi so you can access the router when its in hard to reach places.
This router is set by default to Connect on Demand: Max Idle time 60 Min. Which means that it will disconnect the internet connection after 60 minutes if its not being used. And it wont reconnect unless someone or something tries to connect to the internet through the router.
Change the setting to Keep Alive: Radial Period 180 Sec. This will keep the system connected at all times and if for some reason the connection is dropped the router will try and reconnect after 180 seconds.
Change some of the camera settings to help speed things up.
Changing the image compression and frame rate can greatly improve response time when using a mobile internet card.
So here it is a Mostly Remote Camera. It has remote internet but not remote power yet. A solar solution would be nice.
The extra 3/4" hole can be used for antennas or a land line connection.
