1. Overview
1.1 Introduction
CameraGo! is a free application for Apple’s iPhone and iPod
Touch with the purpose of assisting system integrators during the
process of camera installation by providing live view and PTZ
controls on the display of the mobile device.
With the help of CameraGo! it is possible to do convenient and
time-saving viewing angle and focus adjustment of ACTi camera without needing to bring
a notebook computer up on the ladder with the long cable attached or ask someone on the
ground for assistance.
ACTi CameraGo! is designed to be used together with Camera Installation Kit
(PMON-1001) – a light on-the-belt hardware utility serving the purpose of connecting to the IP
camera and providing PoE power through a short network cable while providing wireless
network access for iPhone or iPod Touch that has ACTi CameraGo! app installed.
