PINPOINT Wireless features automatic camera discovery with wireless

live video link to your smart phone or tablet, enabling focusing, adjusting

and positioning of IP cameras in-situ. It is powered by the POE delivered

to the camera and can be inserted and removed in seconds.

POE-Powered Wireless Adaptor

Veracity’s PINPOINT Wireless is a

POE-powered wireless access point

for IP camera installation. It is directly

connected to the IP camera and

wirelessly connected to the viewing

device, tablet or smartphone.

Wireless Network Access

PINPOINT Wireless is placed in series

with the IP camera and, like the

camera, is powered by POE.

It passes POE through to the

IP camera, whilst using less than 2W

of the available power and connects

the camera to the wireless access

point (WAP) built into PINPOINT

Wireless. By logging onto this wireless

network, live video can be viewed

on a smartphone, tablet or laptop.

PINPOINT Wireless features automatic

camera discovery, including ONVIF.

It has a default network SSID with

password and an IP address for

accessing the device itself. These may

be changed as required by the user.

The wireless link can be switched

between 2.4GHz and 5GHz. A reset

function is available to reset the device

to default factory settings.

The wireless LED flashes as the unit

boots up and is steady when the link

is available. The POE port LED shows

when the camera is powered, whilst

the network port LEDs indicate the

wired link speed (10/100) and

network activity.

Browser Connection

Upon connecting to PINPOINT

Wireless with a wireless network

enabled laptop, tablet or smartphone,

through a browser, the user is

presented with a web page, allowing

configuration of the PINPOINT

Wireless itself and showing the IP

address of the connected camera.

Configuration functionality depends

upon the IP camera manufacturer’s

supported features and functions.

The system firmware can be upgraded

in the field to allow updates for new

features and special camera types.

CAMPOINT Smart App

Veracity provide a smart app called

CAMPOINT (on iOS and Android) for

IP camera configuration. This enables

simple wireless viewing of video from

one or more IP cameras on a smart

phone or tablet. CAMPOINT runs on

smart phones and tablets to make IP

camera installations simple, fast and

convenient to use.

externally in dry conditions. Like

any network device with standard

RJ45 ports, it is important to avoid

any water ingress or particulate

contamination in the network ports.

The supplied protective case can be

used for additional protection whilst

the device is being used externally.

Related Products

There are four products in the Veracity

IP Camera Installation Tools range.

PINPOINT and POINTSOURCE Plus

are designed for wired connection to

laptops, whilst their wireless variants

are designed for wireless network

connections. The PINPOINT models

are powered by POE, whilst the

POINTSOURCE models include a POE

battery pack and so are self-powered

and provide POE to the IP camera.

the “POE Out” port of the device

and the other end plugged into the

IP camera. The POE will now power

both the PINPOINT Wireless device

and the IP camera. Note that the

PINPOINT device itself will not switch

on unless the IP camera is connected.

As soon as the camera adjustment

has been completed, PINPOINT

Wireless can be disconnected and

the direct connection to the IP

camera is restored.

What’s in the box ?

The PINPOINT Wireless package

contains the main device, a clip-on

carry strap, a Quickstart Guide and a

very useful protective case for storing

the device (in tool kits etc.).

POE Pass Through

PINPOINT Wireless is designed for

IP camera set up in those installations

where POE is already available from

the POE network switch or mid-span

POE injector. POE passes through

the PINPOINT Wireless device to the

IP camera, with the device itself

taking less than 2W of the available

power. However, it can pass through

up to 60W of POE for those IP

cameras which require very high

power levels, such as some external

IP PTZ cameras.

Connection Procedure

Connection of PINPOINT Wireless

is simple. The network cable to the

IP camera is unplugged and then

plugged into the “POE In” port of the

PINPOINT Wireless device. A second

network patch cable is plugged into
