The periferals offer new ways of using EYE-02 camera, like monitoring of water in places where you expect a flood.  Camera with flood detector will inform you about rising water and you will be able to take action in time. Application note describes situations in which flood detector can help you. You will also learn how to make the flood detector work with your EYE-02 camera.<\/p>\n<h2>Where flood detector will help<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Monitoring cellar at home<\/strong><br \/>\nYou live in a family house. Every year heavy rains raise the level of water under the terrain. Your cellar always gets flooded. As you already use the camera at home, you will just add flood detector to the camera. You do not need to check the cellar regularly. You can rely on the camera &#8211; it will call you, send SMS, MMS or email and you will know that water is rising.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monitoring your cottage remotely<\/strong><br \/>\nYour weekend cottage lies in the valley with a brook.

Any walls or other objects between camera and detector will decrease the distance. Place transmitter within this range from the camera.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Outdoor installation<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Will you install the camera outdoors? You will probably need to protect the camera against rain and snow by outdoor cover. Follow <a href=\"\/help\/index.php\/outdoor-installation\/\">Outdoor installation guide<\/a> for more information.<\/li>\n<li>Transmitter is not waterproof. It must not be flooded by rising water. Flood detector itself is waterproof.<\/li>\n<li>Protect transmitter from wet climate. Put the transmitter it into a cover when you install it outdoors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Will your camera take pictures at night? You may need external infrared illumination. See <a href=\"\/help\/index.php\/internal-and-external-ir-illumination\/\">External IR guide<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<h3>4 Set reporting from camera<\/h3>\n<p>Camera can send you report when water reaches critical level. You will know it is time to take action. Also, camera is useful for regular monitoring of situation. Camera will send pictures to Jablotool server, e.g. every 10 minutes. You will connect to the camera in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jablotool.com\">JabloTool<\/a> and check if the water rises or decreases. You can also publish the latest pictures on your website.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.1 Reporting when water reaches critical level<\/strong><br \/>\nSet the camera to send out report when water reaches the flood detector:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Connect to the camera in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jablotool.com\">Jablotool<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Go to <strong>Reporting<\/strong> tab. Insert your phone number or email address. Select one of reporting profiles (e.g. Extended) under your contact.<\/li>\n<li>Select <strong>Reporting<\/strong> and set the interval of periodical report. The smallest interval is one picture a minute. Choose e.g. 10 minutes and camera will send one picture to the Cloud storage every 10 minutes. Later you will connect to the camera in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jablotool.com\">Jablotool<\/a> and browse through the pictures. You will see if water is rising or sinking.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>4.2 Regular reporting<\/strong><br \/>\nFollow these steps and set the camera so that it sends regular reports to the Cloud storage of JabloTool. Cloud storage is a safe place for back-up of your events. You can quickly access the events anytime later. This is useful for regular monitoring of situation, e.g. if water level on river is increasing or decreasing.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Connect to the camera in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jablotool.com\">Jablotool<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Select <strong>Settings<\/strong>, <strong>Change data plan<\/strong>. Select that camera can use data (first or second option). Camera will now report all events to the Cloud storage.<\/li>\n<li>Select <strong>Advanced<\/strong>, <strong>Reported events<\/strong>, then click on <strong>Alarms<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Go to line <strong>Intruder alarm<\/strong> in the column of your reporting profile (e.g. Extended). Select how camera should report the alarm. Select from voice call, text message, picture message or email.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>4.3 Publishing picture<\/strong><br \/>\nIt may be useful to publish the latest camera picture on your website.<br \/>\nExample: people in the town would like to see how fast the water in river is rising. <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Connect to the camera in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jablotool.com\">Jablotool<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Select Settings, Change data plan. Choose the first or second option and activate Cloud storage.<\/li>\n<li>Select Reporting and set periodical reports to 10 minutes. <\/li>\n<li>Scroll below and switch the Web Camera ON. You will see a web link. <\/li>\n<li>Copy and embed the link into your website<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The latest camera picture will be published on your website. The picture will be automatically updated every 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>5 Make a test<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/img\/APN_Flood_detector-03.jpg\" alt=\"APN Flood detector Test\" width=\"625\" height=\"404\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1185\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Switch the camera to Watch mode and submerge the flood detector into water. Transmitter will report Intruder alarm to the camera (camera will see the transmitter as door detector JA-81M). Camera will inform you about the alarm by call, SMS, MMS or email. This depends on your settings.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that camera will report alarm from the transmitter only when camera is in Watch mode. That is why your camera should be in Watch mode all the time you monitor the level of water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EYE-02 is compatible with a number of wireless peripherals like detectors, buttons or sirens.
