Connecting Kaptivo to Lifesize Share

Kaptivo can be directly integrated into a Lifesize video conference room, with the Lifesize Share box.  

 Before You Start - get the latest firmware onto your computer

Download latest Kaptivo camera firmware here so you can upgrade the unit

Next - Get the Kaptivo camera unit working

1. Get the Kaptivo camera and control pad physically installed.
2. Go to www.kaptivo.com/setup  click ‘setup over wi-fi’ – follow wi-fi setup directions.
   I am suggesting doing the initial setup over wifi because if you plug it into the network at this point, it’ll start downloading firmware and that could block a manual firmware upgrade...
3. While in the admin web interface do a few things
• Camera Tab - Calibrate the camera by selecting corners – press save on top-right
• Network Tab - Select Wired ethernet (note the IP Address if you plan on using self-hosted) 
• Device Tab - Name the unit – press save on top-right
• Device Tab - Select Cloud or Self-hosted – prefer cloud given a choice - don’t reboot yet.
• Device Tab - Update the firmware – unit may reboot
• Click ‘leave setup’ on top right

4. Switch back to your regular network connection and go to https://kaptivo.live  (or the IP Address if self-hosted) and confirm the Kaptivo is working as expected.

Last - Pair Kaptivo with Lifesize Share

1. Open and install the Lifesize Share device according to product setup instructions.
2. Once Lifesize Share and Kaptivo are installed, access the Lifesize Share device. Open a web browser and go to your Lifesize Share URL (for example, accountname.lifesizeshare.com or share.yourdomain.com).
3. Select the edit icon to the right of a Lifesize Share from the device list. The Lifesize Share device settings page displays.
4. Scroll down to the Applications section and click Pair for Kaptivo.
5. Enter the six-digit device code stamped on the Kaptivo camera unit and click Submit.
