==<font color=blue><b>2. Quick Start</b></font>==
''Note: There is a program called '''camogm''' for recording running on all 3 sub-cameras. Once the GUI page is accessed or refreshed a launch request is issued - it can take some time (~20-30sec)''.
* Set the IPs (correct ips are 192.168.0.xx1,192.168.0.xx2,192.168.0.xx3). Other parameters can be left default - access the GUI page. After camogms are started the "Camogm Status" will indicate that.
* Check the images
 1. Go to the '''Other''' tab - switch on the ''Color bars pattern''.
 2. Press ''Get Previews'' button (it is ok if the images are cut from the bottom - it's the browser problem - just press the button again)
 3. turn off the color pattern mode.
* Go to the '''Camera''' tab and press the '''Enable JP4''' button.
* Make a test <font color=red>RECORD/STOP</font> to check if all HDDs are present.
''Note: the default RECORD delay is 5 seconds, so wait until camogm state becomes "running" then issue a STOP''
* <font color=red>'''RECORD'''</font>
* Check camogm logs from time to time.

==<font color=blue><b>3. Tabs</b></font>==
=====Network=====
* Assign the correct IPs (currently works only in 192.168.0.x subnetwork + the correct IPs are 192.168.0.xx1,192.168.0.xx2, 192.168.0.xx3)
* Set refresh interval (status requests period) (can be left default)
=====Camogm=====
* HDDs are mounted with <font color=red>RECORD</font> and unmounted with <font color=red>STOP</font>.
* HDDs mount points are /var/0 - /var/7
* '''Prefix''' should be set to /var/0/ - /var/7/ (slash at the end is important). If the partition is less than 250GB an auto incrementing prefix change will be made.
* '''Split size''', '''Split interval''' & '''Max frames''' - describe *.mov file. Whatever condition comes first it will result in a start of a new file.

=====Camera=====
* By default the autoexposure mode is ON with a 1ms maximum exposure. To turn it off go to "Other Parameters" link & AUTOEXP_ON=0
=====Quality=====
=====Other=====


==<font color=blue><b>4. Status & Errors</b></font>==
* Normally during the recording the buffers are not filled more than a half when the camogm state is "running". For "stopped" & "starting" the buffers can be filled arbitrarily.
* "Camogm last error code" = 5 - a frame wasn't written on the HDD in time. Although the recording will not be stopped - it is better to stop/start it.
* Check logs from time to time.
* If a HDD is not detected you'll get <font color=red><b>HDD low space</b></font> error.
