    Camera height above waterline

    • 0m to 50m

    • 0ft to 165ft
    Note

    Incorrect physical camera installation and incorrect installation settings could result in an inaccurate Augmented Reality overlay.

  3. Select the Set button for Forward position.
    The Set forward position page is displayed.
  4. Use the touchscreen to adjust the camera’s direction so that the vertical line is positioned directly forward, parallel to your vessel’s forward position.
    Important

    • Calibrating the camera’s forward position is essential for accurate Augmented Reality overlay when the camera pans and tilts. Calibrating on calm water and with a clear view of the front of your vessel is recommended.

    • Certain cameras display a camera direction indicator, which can help identify when the camera is facing directly forward.
  5. Select Save.
  6. Select Horizon position.

    The Calibrate horizon (1 of 2) page is displayed.

  7. Using the buttons, tilt the red lines until they are parallel to the horizon.

  11. Use the buttons to move the red line up and down until it is placed exactly on the horizon.
  12. Select Done.
Important

Calibrating the horizon correctly is essential for accurate Augmented Reality overlay. Calibrating on calm water and in clear sight of the horizon is recommended.
