How it works · install day
One camera. One cable. One box.
Your installer’s job is position. Framing, zoom and detection tuning are ours, done remotely after the walk test. Two to three hours on site for one door. No software configured on site, no network changes.
In the box
Veyla Site Kit
- Edge boxPre-imaged, fanless. Camera ports on the front; port one is door one, always.
- Door cameraPre-paired to the box. One per door; extra doors add a camera, not a box.
- Power supplyFor the box. On an outlet that's never switched off.
- Claim cardA printed code. The owner enters it once at veyla.com.au/claim and the site is theirs.
Claim card
VYLA-7K2M-Q9RD
The installer brings: a Cat6 run from camera to box (up to 90 m, no joins), a patch lead from the box to the router, fixings, and a power point where the box lives.
Camera placement · the strict part
Height
2.4 – 3.2 m
Target 2.7 m. Never below 2.2 m (reach, occlusion) or above 4 m (a top-down view kills tracking). High ceiling? Wall-mount at the right height.
Distance
3 – 6 m back
Target 4 m. Closer than 3 m can't see the door and the walk-in zone together; further than 6 m, people are too small to track reliably.
Angle
≤ 30° off square
Tilt 10 – 25° down. Side angles hide one person behind another, which is the whole point of the exercise.
Framing
Whole door + 2.5 m of floor
The full door leaf, top to floor, and at least 2.5 m of clear floor inside it. A tall person at the threshold is never cropped.
Disqualifiers
- Mounted on the door's own wall, or outside
- Anything blocking the line to the top of the door or to the floor zone
- A TV or ad screen in the door zone of frame (people on screens count; it can be masked remotely if you tell us)
- A large mirror in frame (reflections double-count)
- An unstable mount
Awkward entry?
Photograph it and email support@veyla.com.au before anyone drills. Marked-up advice usually comes back the same day.
Plug in
01
Shelf it
Off the floor, in the comms or back-office area, with air around it. It's fanless.
02
Camera to port one
The camera cable goes into port one. Port equals door number, always; label both ends.
03
Uplink to the network
Any spare LAN port on the club's router or switch. Ordinary DHCP; nothing to configure.
04
Power on
The supplied power supply, on an outlet nobody switches off. Then leave it alone.
Power and a router within reach
At the box's location. That's the site's whole shopping list.
Ordinary internet
A DHCP network with normal outbound access. Every connection is outbound from the club.
Nothing opened
No inbound ports, no port forwarding, no static IP, no firewall changes. The box is a client on your network, never a server.
Then
01
The claim card
The owner enters the printed code at veyla.com.au/claim on their phone. Account, billing, activation: about ten minutes, and the site is theirs.
02
The walk test
Walk in the door. The entry appears in the app within moments, and in one motion the camera, the cable, the box and the internet are all proven.
03
Remote tuning
In the first days we frame and zoom the picture and draw the door line and count zone onto it, remotely. No ladders, no laptops at the door, no return visit.
Adding Access
HID Aero controller
Mounted in the comms cupboard beside the edge box, on the same network. Credentials and schedules arrive on their own.
Readers at the door
The HID Amico face reader, or Signo card readers, on the controller's reader ports. Existing barcode scanners can be bridged onto the same port.
Lock, exit button, contact
Wired to the panel by the installer, as on any access job, so the door keeps its own rules even when the internet drops.
Members enrol themselves
Once the site is live, the enrolment text goes out and members set up their face on their own phones. Nobody queues at the desk.
After install day
If the box or a camera goes quiet, we know within minutes, and so do you.
Veyla monitors every site continuously. A camera offline reads as a plain sentence in the app and an email to the owner, and our support sees it at the same time. Questions, awkward doorways, anything at all: support@veyla.com.au.
