Activate Your Camera


Before you start

Make sure your camera is charged. We recommend charging your camera for 24 hours before Tracing for the first time or running an equipment test.

Hands on time for tactivating your camera will be about 10 minutes.

Create a test game

  1. Log in to your Trace Teams iOS app and tap the games button (in the center of the bottom menu)

  2. Tap (+ Trace a New Game)

  3. Enter the opponent CMEquipmentTest, select Today, choose the next available time slot, and set the Half Lengths for 20 minutes

  4. Tap (Trace Now)

Start your test game

After you tap (Trace Now) we’ll run through the equipment as if we were Tracing a real game. Follow the instructions in the Trace Teams App to start your game. You do not need to set up your tripod. Leave the camera on for about 45 minutes.

End your test game

Return to your Trace Teams App, tap (Stop Tracing) and follow all remaining steps to Stop Tracing.

Upload the test data

You can find detailed uploading instructions here.

  1. Plug your camera into ethernet, then plug in your power cable.

  2. You can follow your upload progress in the Trace Teams iOs app. (This could take a few hours depending on your internet speed. )

Note: Our team will let you know if the test was successful once your data is processed. We will not send you your test game.
