How to Prepare for a Demo?

The Camera Demo Kit contains the mounting accessories that you need to simulate a ceiling

and wall installation. However, you also need to prepare other equipment and tools to make

your demo more efficient.

Must Have’s

Below is a list of the equipment and tools that you need to bring or install when doing a demo:

Demo Camera (can be stored inside the demo kit)

Notebook computer

Screwdriver

Projector or Big-screen Monitor (if necessary)

Camera Demo Tool (must be downloaded and installed on your notebook)

The Camera Demo Tool is a Window based program to help you demo new products

more quickly and easily. Download Camera Demo Tool v1.5.04.13 from our website:

http://www.acti.com/product/detail/Video_Management_System/ACTi_Utility_Suite.

NOTE: The Camera Demo Tool uses the ActiveX control components that are

different from the ACTi NVR v2.x versions, hence, make sure the notebook does not

have any ACTi NVR software installed.

Optional Items

Camera placement is very important to project the best video output quality. That is why you

need to consider the distance between the demo site and the notebook placement or the

power outlet. For example, if the camera will be installed overlooking a window or outdoors on

the balcony and the notebook will be operated inside the building meeting room. It will be

practical to have the following tools on hand:

Long-length Ethernet cable

Power Extension Cord
