Mevo Camera Diagram

Below is a diagram detailing the features of the physical Mevo camera.

Attach the Mevo to the Mount

In order to attach the Mevo camera to a tripod or stand, you must first attach it to the included mount.

The mount is inside a red box within the Mevo packaging. Remove the mount from the red box.

Place the Mevo on top of it. The micro-USB port on the back of the Mevo should match up with the opening for the Micro-USB cable on the back of the mount

On the back of the mount, you should notice two white tabs, with a red padlock icon to the left. Turn the twist-lock ring so that the bottom white tab lines up with the red lock.

After:

The Mevo camera is now securely locked on top of the mount.

Mounting Mevo to a Stand or Tripodripod

Once you attach the Mevo to the included mount, you can attach it to most standard microphone stands or tripods using the adapter on the bottom of the mount.

First, remove the label from the bottom of the mount.

To remove the adapter, use a coin or a flat-head screwdriver and turn it counterclockwise.

One side of the adapter is a 1/4″-20 UNC tripod thread, and the other side is a larger 3/8″-16 microphone stand thread.

The mount also has a built-in 5/8″-27 microphone stand thread.

Determine which thread fits your stand or tripod. If you need to use one of the threads on the adapter, ensure that the needed thread is on the bottom and screw it into the bottom of the mount until it is secure.

Note: The included stand with the Mevo Pro pack fits the built-in 5/8″-27 microphone stand thread. Fully remove the adapter as described above to mount your Mevo to this stand.

Place the Mevo on top of your stand or tripod and turn it clockwise until it is secured.

What Distance Should Mevo Be from the Eom the Event?

Generally speaking, Mevo works best when placed about five feet away from the subject (e.g., a panel discussion, a performer, etc. )

Mevo has been designed to be close to the subject or event taking place. For example, if your event takes place in an auditorium, Mevo should be just far away enough to capture the entire stage in a wide shot; the 150-degree lens will allow for this to be closer than most standard cameras. Mevo’s small form factor will be unobtrusive to viewers on-site.

How Do I Charge the Mevo’s Bage the Mevo’s Battery?

Before using your Mevo, it’s best to fully charge the battery first.

To do so, remove the AC adapter and USB cable from their respective boxes.

Plug the standard USB end (i.e. the larger plug) into the AC adapter.

Plug the micro-USB end of the USB cable into the back of the Mevo.

Switch the prongs in the AC adapter so that they stick out.

Plug the AC adapter into any standard wall outlet.

It will begin charging automatically. The LED ring will blink green above the battery icon to indicate that it is charging.

Mevo Camera’s Built-in Microphone

The Mevo camera comes with a built-in microphone.

If you are using the Mevo’s built-in microphone, be sure to place the Mevo close to your subjects, no more than five to ten feet away. The Mevo and its built-in mic work best when it is on-stage and close to the action.

The Mevo’s microphone is directional to the space directly in front of it, but may still pick up general room noise. The closer the mic is to your subjects, the more it will filter out noise or chatter behind or to the side of it.

The Mevo’s default built-in microphone has automatic gain adjustment and will adjust itself for the louder or quieter audio of your live event.

You may also manually set the Mevo’s built-in microphone’s gain adjustment to fit your preference. Use the slider bar to raise or lower your audio’s gain adjustment.

I’m New to Streaming. What Best Practices Do You Recommend?

If you plan to stream with Mevo, we have some tips to help you get started:

• Your network’s upload speed should ideally be at art around 5-10mbps.  This will allow your stream to stay at the best quality and leave room for fluctuation in your connection speed. If you do not know what your upload speed is, you can check at www.speedtest.net.
• Use a dedicated network if possible. This isn’t always possible, considering most Wi-Fi networks are shared among multiple devices. Try to remove as many devices from your network as possible, such as smartphones and computers.
• Turn off any Firff Firewalls on your network. Most home networks will probably not need to worry about this, but this is a common issue in offices, schools, hotels, etc. To stream to Livestream, networks should be configured to allow incoming and outgoing communication through the following Firewall ports (in rough order of importance):
  • TCP 1935
  • TCP 80
  • TCP 443
  • UDP 53
• Test first! Test early and test often. Run speed tests on your network at www.speedtest.net so that you can catch any issues with your network connection before your event.
• Record a backup. The professionals do it, and we recommend everyone does. Make sure you keep a microSD card inside your Mevo so that a backup recording saves while you are streaming. If you lose connection, the recording will be saved on the SD card that you can share later.

Stream to Livestream with Mevo

Once your Mevo is connected to the Mevo app, you should notice a red button in the bottom left corner of the picture. Tap it to see more options.

To stream to Livestream, tap the Livestream logo in the menu that appears.

You will be redirected to a page prompting you to create a Livestream account. If you do not have an account on Livestream.com, fill in the requested information. If you already have an account on Livestream.com, tap the blue ‘Login’ link below instead.

Once you are logged into an account, you can configure your livestream. By default, the streaming quality will be set to 720p. Tap the 720p icon to choose between other quality options.

In the bottom left corner is a New Event option. If you have events created on your Livestream account already, you can scroll sideways to select the event you want to stream to or keep New Event selected to stream to a new event on your Livestream account.

You can adjust other settings for your stream by tapping the gearwheel icon.

Tap What’s happening? to give your stream a title if you wish. Then tap the red Go Live button to start streaming. The LED ring on the camera will spin briefly. Then your stream will begin.

Tap a small red dot on the bottom left corner to see more information about your stream, including viewer count, battery percentage, bitrate, and timer.

Tap the information bar again to collapse it.

Important: If you tap a specific statistic, such as viewer count or bitrate, that statistic will still appear next to the red down when you collapse the information bar. In the below example, the timer is selected.

To end the stream, tap the red button and slide it to the right.

Choose whether or not to post the video on demand on your event page. Then tap Done.

Record to a microSD Card

Included with the Mevo is a Sandisk 16 GB microSD card (although we do have a list of other recommended cards) to record your events.

First, insert the microSD card into the slot on the back of the Mevo camera with the metal strips facing up. Push the card all the way in; you should feel a soft click indicating it’s securely inside the slot.

When your Mevo is on and connected to the Mevo app, you can start recording.

Tap the red button icon in the lower-left corner of the interface.

A few options will appear; tap Record.

The below screen will appear, giving you the option to name your recording.

The recording quality is set to HD by default. Tap the HDHD button to reveal the following options

• HD (720p)
• Full HD (1080p)
• 4K (2160p)

Important! If you choose 4K, you can only record your wide shot. Live editing features will be disabled.

Tap the red Record button to start recording.

Your recording has started.

To finish recording, tap the red circle icon in the bottom left corner of the Mevo app. Then drag the circle to the right.

The Mevo’s LED ring will spin red for a brief moment, and then stop. This indicates that your recording has been stopped.
