INTRODUCTION

HALO Smart Sensor is an IoT device that detects environmental changes that occur in many locations including privacy concern areas where surveillance cameras can’t be installed. HALO DEVICE MANAGER (HDM) is an administration tool leveraged to configure and manage HALO Smart Sensors on accessible networks. Some features of HDM include finding HALOs on accessible networks, install/update firmware, commit configuration changes, backup device settings, and view device status. For multi-site management and analysis reporting check out the features of the Cloud Portal. https://halodetect.com/product-info /halo-cloud

SETUP PREREQUISITES

  1. Install HDM:
  2. One or more HALO Smart Sensor devices connected to a standard office network where the steps in the HALO Installation Procedure have been followed resulting in confirmation that the device is operating and physically connected to the network.
  3. The network will typically include a DHCP server to provide an IP Addresses, in the absence of one HDM can find HALOs with an APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addresses) on a local network.
  4. If static addressing is planned, then the correct subnet mask, gateway address, and DNS address must be known.
  5. An accessible Windows 10 or higher PC connected to the same network with a Chrome web browser installed.

FINDING HALO SMART SENSORS ON A NETWORK

Start HALO DEVICE MANAGER (HDM) on the PC by double clicking the program icon. (The window can be resized and moved as needed and will be saved for next use.)

Each are explained in further detail in the Device Menu section later in this guide.

FIRST TIME SETUP

IPVIDEO-HALO-2C-One-Smart-Sensor-Health-Safety-fig-3

  • HDM which is the preferred method for setting up multiple HALOs at once, however it can also be done by typing the HALO device’s IP address in Google Chrome as shown in the Administrator Manual at https://halodetect.com/resources/manuals-guides/.
  • Any devices that have not been initialized will show up with blue text and a tab for First-Time Setup will appear. You could also select a single HALO (double-click Sel to deselect all and select one) and click Actions -> Open Web Page.

Setup User

IPVIDEO-HALO-2C-One-Smart-Sensor-Health-Safety-fig-4

  • Click the tab First-Time Setup. A prompt to setup a user for the device will appear. Type in admin next to “User” and desired password next to “Password”.

Setup Device Information

IPVIDEO-HALO-2C-One-Smart-Sensor-Health-Safety-fig-5

  • Setup Device name for what the Halo will be viewable as.
  • Setup Timezone using the drop-down information
  • Setup Country using the drop down.

NOTE

The final Setup for the device is the IPVideo License Agreement.

IPVIDEO-HALO-2C-One-Smart-Sensor-Health-Safety-fig-7

  • Left textbox is the IPVideo Corporation End User License Agreement.
  • Right text box is the Privacy Policy.

The user reading the Agreement and Policy shall fill out the information below for “Name”, “Organization”, “Email”, “Phone”.

Device Setup Complete

IPVIDEO-HALO-2C-One-Smart-Sensor-Health-Safety-fig-8

  • Once the setup requirements are met HDM will reboot the selected HALOs. You may see a status of “running, not ready” as it reboots and reconnects using the new credentials.
  • Status will change to connected once back online.

DEVICES

  • Search for HALO Smart Sensors on the network. There are different ways to do this:

Device Scan

  • Searches for HALOs that are on the local network.
  • This search does not cross subnets and returns IPv4 IP Addresses.

IP Scan

  • Searches for HALOs using a starting IP address and a quantity of IP addresses from that starting point.

For example

  • “Start IP Address”: 192.168.1.11 & “Number Of IP Addresses”: 50 will search 192.168.1.11 – 192.168.1.60 for HALO’s.
  • This search does look at each IP address in the sequence 1 at a time, thus it is recommended to include only the range required to be searched.

IPv6 Scan

  • Searches for HALOs that are on the local network. This search does not cross subnets and returns IPv6 IP Addresses.

Add Device

  • This adds a single HALO using a specific IP Address.
  • This method requires the “Port” number. “User” and “Password” can also be supplied if the HALO is not using the default or if they were not previous entered for HDM to use.
  • Using a single method to search, then repeating that method or using another method will continue to add HALOs to the list of found devices.  This will not remove HALOs from the device list.

Clear All Devices

  • Removes all HALOs from the device list.

Add User/Pwd

IPVIDEO-HALO-2C-One-Smart-Sensor-Health-Safety-fig-12

  • For HALOs with username or password already changed use Add User/Pwd to connect to HALOs in the current HDM session.
  • This process can be repeated if multiple HALOs on the list have different usernames or passwords.
  • The eyeball icon next to the password can be used to view the input characters.

The default password (changeme)* is known to HDM and is used automatically to connect to new HALOs.

Special Note About Change to Location of Profile Data:

If you are upgrading from prior to 2.6.7 please note that 2.6.7 introduced storing Profile Data in a new location.

IPVIDEO-HALO-2C-One-Smart-Sensor-Health-Safety-fig-13

  • New Location: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\HaloDevMan”
  • Previous Location: C:\Users\\Documents\HaloDevMan”

Any previously saved profile data can be manually copied into the new location for use with 2.6.7 and newer version.

FILE MENU

  9. Export Regulation. The Software and Documentation may be subject to U.S. export control laws, including the Export Control Reform Act and its associated regulations. Licensee shall not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Software or Documentation to, or make the Software or Documentation accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by law, rule, or regulation. Licensee shall comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing, or otherwise making the Software or Documentation available outside the U.S.
  10. U.S. Government Rights. The Software is commercial computer software, as such term is defined in 48 C.F.R. §2.101. Accordingly, if Licensee is the U.S. Government or any contractor therefor, Licensee shall receive only those rights with respect to the Software and Documentation as are granted to all other end users under license, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. §227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. §227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. §12.212, with respect to all other U.S. Government licensees and their contractors.
  11. Term and Termination. This Agreement and the License granted hereunder shall remain in effect for the term set forth on any applicable order form for a Product containing the Software or until earlier terminated as set forth herein (the “Term”). Licensee may terminate this Agreement by ceasing to use and destroying all copies of the Software and Documentation. Licensor may terminate this Agreement, effective upon written notice to Licensee, if Licensee, breaches this Agreement and such breach: (i) is incapable of cure; or (ii) being capable of cure, remains uncured ten (10) days after Licensor provides written notice thereof. Licensor may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately, if Licensee files, or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or pursuant to any other insolvency law, makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or applies for, or consents to, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, or custodian for a substantial part of its property. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, the License granted hereunder shall also terminate, and Licensee shall cease using and destroy all copies of the Software and Documentation. No expiration or termination shall affect Licensee’s obligation to pay all Licensee fees that may have become due before such expiration or termination, or entitle Licensee to any refund.
  12. Limited Warranty.
    • Licensor warrants that, for thirty (30) days following Licensee’s licensing of the Software or the purchase date set forth in any applicable order form for a Product containing the Software, whichever is earlier, (i) any media on which the Software is provided will be free of material damage and defects in materials and workmanship under normal use; and (ii) the Software will substantially contain the functionality described in the Documentation, and when properly installed on a computer meeting the specifications set forth in, and operated in accordance with, the Documentation, will substantially perform in accordance therewith. The foregoing warranties shall not apply and will become null and void if Licensee breaches any material provision of this Agreement, or if Licensee, any Authorized User, or any other Person provided access to the Software by Licensee or any Authorized User, whether or not in violation of this Agreement: (a) installs or uses the Software on or in connection with any hardware or software not specified in the Documentation; (b) modifies or damages the Software, or the media on which it is provided, including abnormal physical or electrical stress; or (c) misuses the Software, including any use of the Software other than as specified in the Documentation.
    • If, during the warranty period specified in Section 12(a), any Software covered by the warranty fails to perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation, and such failure is not excluded from warranty pursuant to Section 12(a), Licensor will, subject to Licensee’s promptly notifying Licensor in writing of such failure, at its sole option, either: (i) repair or replace the Software, provided that Licensee provides Licensor with all information Licensor requests to resolve the reported failure, including sufficient information to enable the Licensor to recreate such failure; or (ii) refund the License fees paid for such Software, subject to Licensee’s ceasing all use of and, if requested by Licensor, returning to Licensor all copies of the Software. If Licensor repairs or replaces the Software, the warranty will continue to run from the initial date identified in Section 12(a), and not from Licensee’s receipt of the repair or replacement. The remedies in this Section 12 are Licensee’s sole remedies and Licensor’s sole liability under this Agreement.
    • EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY IN SECTION 12, THE SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION AND PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED TO LICENSEE “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS AND DEFECTS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSOR, ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ITS AFFILIATES AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE LICENSOR’S, SERVICE PROVIDERS AND AGENTS, EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION AND PRODUCTS, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. WITHOUT LIMITATION TO THE FOREGOING, THE LICENSOR PROVIDES NO WARRANTY OR UNDERTAKING, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND THAT THE SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION OR PRODUCTS WILL MEET LICENSEE’S REQUIREMENTS, ACHIEVE ANY INTENDED RESULTS, BE COMPATIBLE OR WORK WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE, SYSTEMS, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, MEET ANY PERFORMANCE OR RELIABILITY STANDARDS OR BE ERROR FREE, OR THAT ANY ERRORS OR DEFECTS CAN OR WILL BE CORRECTED.
  13. Limitation of Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW:
    • IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF ITS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE LICENSOR’S, SERVICE PROVIDERS AND AGENTS, BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY USE, INTERRUPTION, DELAY, OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION OR PRODUCTS; LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS; DELAYS, INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OF SERVICES, BUSINESS, OR GOODWILL; LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA; LOSS FROM SYSTEM FAILURE, MALFUNCTION, OR SHUTDOWN; FAILURE TO ACCURATELY TRANSFER, READ, OR TRANSMIT INFORMATION; FAILURE TO UPDATE OR PROVIDE CORRECT INFORMATION; SYSTEM INCOMPATIBILITY; OR SECURITY BREACHES; OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER OR NOT THE LICENSOR WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
    • IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR’S AND ITS AFFILIATES’, INCLUDING ANY OF ITS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE LICENSOR’S’, SERVICE PROVIDERS’ AND AGENTS’, COLLECTIVE AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ITS SUBJECT MATTER, UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, AND OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID TO THE LICENSOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION OR PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO THE CLAIM.
    • THE LIMITATIONS IN SECTION 13(a) AND SECTION 13(b) SHALL APPLY EVEN IF LICENSEE’S REMEDIES IN THIS AGREEMENT FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
  14. Indemnification. Licensee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensor and its affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, licensor’s, service providers, successors and assigns from and against any and all damages, liabilities, losses, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees), arising from or relating to: (i) Licensee’s use or misuse of the Software (including but not limited to any content submitted by Licensee’s through the Software), Documentation or Products, or (ii) Licensee’s breach of any representation, warranty or obligation under this Agreement.
  15. Miscellaneous.
    • All matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. Subject to all applicable laws, Licensee is agreeing to give up: (i) its right to litigate any claims that may arise hereunder in court or before a jury; and (ii) its right to consolidate any claim and/or participate in any class action claim that may arise hereunder in any manner or forum. Instead, any claim, dispute, or controversy of any kind or nature arising hereunder which cannot be amicably resolved by Licensor and Licensee shall be solely and finally settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration shall take place before a panel of one arbitrator sitting in New York County, New York. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitrator will be bound to adjudicate all disputes in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be in writing with written findings of fact and shall be final and binding on the parties. Each party shall bear all of its own costs, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, actually incurred in connection with any such arbitration proceedings; provided, however, that if Licensor is the prevailing party, then it shall be entitled to reimbursement for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and related costs expended in connection with the arbitration. With respect to any arbitration hereunder, as stated above, Licensee hereby expressly waives any right to consolidate any claim and/or participate in any class-action claim of any kind or nature.
    • Licensor will not be responsible or liable to Licensee, or deemed in default or breach hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder where such failure or delay is due to strikes, labor disputes, civil disturbances, riot, rebellion, invasion, epidemic, pandemic, hostilities, war, terrorist attack, embargo, natural disaster, acts of God, flood, fire, sabotage, fluctuations or non-availability of electrical power, or Licensee equipment, loss and destruction of property, or any other circumstances or causes beyond Licensor’s reasonable control.
    • All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (i) when delivered by hand; (ii) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (iii) on the date sent by facsimile or email (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next business day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (iv) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications shall be sent to the respective parties at the addresses set forth on any applicable order form for a Product containing the Software or, in the case of Licensee, may also be sent to any contact information provided to Licensor in registering the Software or any Product(s) containing the Software.
    • This Agreement, together with any documents or policies that are incorporated by reference herein, constitutes the sole and entire agreement between Licensee and Licensor with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.
    • Licensee shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer any of its obligations or performance, under this Agreement, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise, without Licensor’s prior written consent, which Licensor may give or withhold in its sole discretion. No delegation or other transfer will relieve Licensee of any of its obligations or performance under this Agreement. Any purported assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section 15(e) is void. Licensor may freely assign or otherwise transfer all or any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer all or any of its obligations or performance, under this Agreement without Licensee’s consent. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
    • This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
    • This Agreement may only be amended, modified, or supplemented by a written agreement signed by each party hereto. No waiver by any party of any of provision herein shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by the waiving party. Except as set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
    • If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. On such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
