Position the camera bar on the camera so it can clearly see the markers, for ceiling markers this typically means pointing the camera bar directly upwards. Make sure that the camera bar is firmly mounted.

Calculate the camera bar to main, this can be done by the WebUI or FullUI.

Apply the IR Filter to the camera bar.

The filter is strongly recommended when using markers. It allows the markers to be detected much more clearly and also minimises lens flare from ceiling mounted lights etc.

Connect the IR emitter to either the UART or RS232 port of the connection box or server. Either can be used depending on which is available

Enable the Circular Feature tracking core in the preferences. Ensure Natural Feature is turned off

Measure the closest and farthest possible distance between the camera bar and the markers. Add the minimum and maximum distance in the UI. Doing this will help to minimise the chances of incorrect markers being detected

Using the WebUI, choose an alignment method that suits your usage. the "Rig On Wheels" is the most accurate technique. You need to have a tripod on wheels, pedestal, or other means of moving the camera horizontally at a fixed height.

Follow the instructions written in the wizard and create your alignment. The video below demonstrates the process

For optimum results it is recommended to "lock" the alignment after it has been created. This prevents new markers from being detected.

An alignment can be locked when saving it at the end of the alignment process by activating the padlock icon next to where the alignment name is entered

Alignments can also be locked/unlocked from the dashboard of the WebUI

Before a point cloud is locked. Make sure you have learnt all the markers required for your space. If during the alignment wizard step, not all markers were seen, then proceed to move the camera around the environment before saving and locking the alignment

Go to the WebUI and ensure you have the alignment loaded that you want to add to and that the system is tracking. On the dashboard unlock the pointcloud by clicking on the padlock icon.

Move the camera around to learn the new markers. When finished, relock the pointcloud and save the changes by selecting "save alignment" in the actions tab. You can choose to create a new name for the alignment (so you don't lose the original) or you can use the same name to write over it

If you want to finetune the position of the zero point in an already existing alignment, choose the "align world" option in the actions menu.

Then use the finetune controls to adjust the position of the zero point. When finished, save the changes and choose to either create a new alignment (will keep the original) or overwrite it

To simplify the start-up process, see the next section for information on how to make the system "set and forget"
