Raven Guidelines

1) Locate desired facility in Google Earth (free version works fine), zoom to desired height.

2) Use Tools menu/Measure/line tool to measure horizontal distance in meters (go from right to left edge) and note that distance.

3) Mouse over a prominent point or object and note lat/long values for that object. You will enter these into Raven. (optional)

4) Use File/Save Image to save a JPEG image to your hard disk, using a simple name and a .jpg extension (I suggest you save the name with the meters across like so: sfo1142.jpg)

5) Use form above to select that saved image from your hard disk and hit Upload.

6) When prompted, enter horz distance in meters and then next the lat and long values you recorded earlier. This is optional but will give you lat long positions for each placed camera.

7)Turn on show grid to see distances in meters and lat long positions of each camera as they are placed.

8) Use save button to save to a file the settings of your camera configuration to load back in later

9) Use report button to produce a simple web report showing the data for each camera selected. If you did not select lat/long, those values will be "undefined".

10) See online user's guide movie walking through the process.
