I need to extend the camera from it's circuit board and mount it in something like a cable dot on the side of the head facing forward. At the moment she looks borg. Not good. This is for department stores for women's fashion. Can I separate the camera with wires so its just a tiny dot?
How do I do that please?
PS The camera will definitely not be placed in the face of this particular mannequin head - It will be under the chin or facing forward from the ear.
Oh I see. If this is the answer then the instructions should be updated. I have tried a direct connection many times but it never works. Was it easy for you to achieve?
I'm a bit confused, what instructions are you referring to?
A direct connection (AP mode) is our default mode. It is very easy to connect via AP mode. Do you have anti-virus software that could be blocking your connection to ARC?
Maybe I am using AP mode. I guess that means my computer is slow or antenna is weak? Why would I get such a slow frame rate?
Zxen, post your project so we can see what settings you have. The DEFAULT settings of the camera control are ideal. If you modified the default settings, something like this could happen.
AP mode means your computer is connected directly to the ezb. You learned this when using the learn section for your ezrobot product.
Client mode means your ezb is connected to a router. You can only know of client mode if you followed the tutorial on the learn section for your ezrobot product.
There is no need for updating the connection tutorial. The last update of the tutorial was a detailed and fantastic video less than one week ago. There is no additional information. For client mode, only two peices of information is necessary: SSID and PASSWORD. Client mode is incredibly easy.
However, client mode depends on the speed of your router. Ezrobot does not own your router. We have no idea the speed of your router. The performance you experience in client mode has no relationship to ezrobot. The router speed is specific to the model and manufacturer, and not related to ezrobot.
If your computer is experiencing low frame rate with AP mode, then the pc speed may be the reason - OR the default settings have been changed.
Can you verify that you have the latest ARC?
why camera resolution setting are you using?
try adding a new camera control and enabling face tracking with ezrobot camera. Do NOT change any other settings. Do you still get a low frame rate?
Okay - After viewing your diagnostic info, the answer is clear.
First, every control has a ? (question mark). You can press that ? (question mark) to view help about that control. The control in question is the CAMERA CONTROL. Here is a direct link to the Camera Control manual page: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Help.aspx?id=80
The reason for visiting that page is a section about VIDEO RESOLUTIONS. Please read that section. It is incredibly important that you understand what increasing the resolution does for a computer.
By increasing the video resolution to 640x480, look at the number of Bytes per second your CPU must process.
Lastly, i am curious about what other settings may have been modified in the camera control. Please visit my previous message and follow the instructions. Do not change any settings and use the camera control with Face tracking.
Everything I have typed is presented in the Camera Control manual page.
