Hardware Requirements

Hardware Requirements

The Move Live product is provided as software only; please see the below hardware requirements necessary to run the software.

Volume Configurator

Depending on the size of the space you are capturing in, we support a minimum amount of cameras, as well as lens type to ensure stable tracking throughout the space. The supported capture volumes have been categorised into Small, Medium and Large and the details of these sizes, as well as the minimum/maximum hardware requirements are outlined below.

The camera layout measurements are based on the camera positions themselves, surrounding the space you want to capture within.

Cameras

Camera Modules

The system currently supports the below FLIR cameras.

• BFS-PGE-16S2C-CS: 1.6 MP, 78 FPS, Sony IMX273, Color

Lenses

Every setup differs - The optimal focal length for your setup will be based on both the distance of the camera from the capture volume and the size of the volume. The greater the focal length, the more zoomed in the image will be, which will be more suitable when the cameras are further away from the volume. In general, it is best to position the cameras further back from the volume (without obstruction), so that you can avoid using wide-angle lenses, as they often experience large amounts of distortion in the image. If you'd like more information about which lens model we recommend for a specific volume size, check out the Volume Configurator.

The Move Live software comes with three preset intrinsic lens calibrations (2.8mm, 3.5mm & 4mm). For optimal configuration it is recommended that you capture your own intrinsics using the Move Live software, as the intrinsics may vary for each camera & lens pairing.

Recommended lenses:

• Computar 2.8-10mm Variable Zoom Lens

• Tamron 2.8mm Lens

Please note: The current supported camera requires a CS-mount lens. To use a C-mount lens with these cameras, you will need a CS to C-mount adapter.

Server Component Specifications

Note: The hardware specifications outlined below are our recommendation and supported components. Please contact us if you have any questions in regards to hardware compatibility outside of this list.

Licence Dongle

A virtual license will be provided to access the Move Live software. This license is configured to the machine that is hosting Move Live. This license will be configured in line with the contract terms.

Network Switch

The switch must have:

• A minimum number of PoE (power over ethernet) ports to match the number of cameras

  • 180W minimum requirement

• A 10Gbit/s uplink (to the server)

• Jumbo frames (9000 MTU) capability

We recommend the NETGEAR MS510TXPP.

Cabling

You will need:

• 1x CAT6a (shielded recommended when nearby lots of power cables) per camera to connect to the switch

• 1 x CAT6a (shielded necessary) to connect the switch to the server.

Camera Mounts

Suitable mounting methods may differ for each user based on infrastructure and mounting locations. We recommend using:

• Magic arm

• Super clamp

• Ball head mount

All cameras will need this attachment to connect it to a mount:

• Base Plate Adaptor
