Installation guide
Step 1 of 10
The radar looks along the street, almost in line with it. Never straight at the street.
Check where your property ends. The first few metres past the pavement often belong to the city, and the snowplow goes through there.
Step 2 of 10
High enough to see over the snowbanks. Not too high: its beam is narrow vertically.
Good heightBetween 1.8 and 2.5 m.
Step 3 of 10
The stake gives the direction. It will be your target for aiming the radar.
Point A hard to find? Hook the tape at the radar’s spot. Plant the stake at the curb, where the tight tape reads the second length.
Step 4 of 10
A USB phone charger is all it needs.
For the trial run, a power bank works too.
Step 5 of 10
It all happens with your phone’s camera. No app.
Keep the label. Its password is unique to your radar. You will also need it to change a setting later.
Step 6 of 10
On your home Wi-Fi, or standalone at the far end of the yard.
Choose your Wi-Fi
Didn’t work? The page tells you why: wrong password, network not found… Fix it, then try again.
Step 7 of 10
Your phone is your sight, then your level.
Keep turningThe sight line must pass over the stake.
Level on iPhone: the Measure app, Level tab. On Android: any “bubble level” app.
Step 8 of 10
Before tightening for good, look at what the radar sees. Open its page on your phone, by the street.
Turn the radar a little more parallel to the street, toward 10°.
Sidewalk, trees, your yard: turn it a little more toward the street, toward 20°.
Check that it is upright, not tilted up, and that nothing is in front of it.
The board is moving: fasten it better.
From −70 to −80 dBm, it may be enough. Below −80, move it or add a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi extender.
Step 9 of 10
The aim is good. Now keep it that way.
Step 10 of 10
The radar works out on its own where it sits relative to the street, using the cars that go by.
Street on the radar’s leftThe nearest lane is the one where cars drive away.
To confirm, if you like: drive past the radar in your own car, on cruise control, once in each direction. Then check off your passes under “Confirm with your car”.
Done
Installation
Unplug the radar and plug it back in 3 times in a row, less than 10 seconds each time. Its network reopens for 15 minutes. Nothing is erased.
In the calibration panel, tap “Start over”. Let cars go by, then apply again.
It reconnects on its own. If your Wi-Fi stays down for more than 4 minutes, the radar’s own network reopens as a fallback.
On your Wi-Fi, open the address you wrote down in step 6. Otherwise, reopen the radar’s network as you would to change Wi-Fi, then scan the label.
Indicative measurements: the radar is not certified for issuing tickets.
