Configuration

With the Park Eyes solution the installer is able to configure a camera in two different ways.

Here all camera’s and settings will be pre-loaded for the installer.

2. Manually per camera.

Here the installer can set manually the configuration settings and configure a camera.

Once the app is opened, the default landing page in the parking solution is “Garages”. By pressing on the green round button, a config file can be uploaded. By pressing the Green button, permission to you photo’s and media is required in order to upload is it successfully.

This config file contains the layout of the parking garages split into sectors.

After selecting the config file, the Cosmos Config app will provide you feedback if the upload went correct or not. You can upload multiple config files into the same Cosmos Config app which will be displayed as different garages.

With the switch-view button at the top right, the view can easily be changed.

By pressing at the garage you would like to configure at, the available sectors will be shown. You need so select at which sector you would like to work at.

After selecting the Sector, the page will be loaded where all the camera’s are visibele within this specific sector. It possible to navigate through the sector by zooming in and out at your mobile device.

Once you zoom in, the Cosmos Config app will show you the configuration status of the camera’s. The camera’s which are white need te bo configured, the camera’s which are dark grey are already configured. This will give the installer a clear status overview.

Now you’re ready to configure the next camera.

From here you can select the desired camera and create a QR code as well. The procedure is exactly the same as described above. By clicking at a configured camera, it’s also possible to undo the configuration.
