Instructions for Centaur Media Suite Integration
MouthWatch cameras easily integrate with Centaur Media Suite imaging software. Use the MouthWatch camera to capture images of the patient and store them directly into the patient record.
Step 1 – Download the Button Capture Software
If setting up a MouthWatch Plus+, make sure to install the required driver by checking the box during installation.
- Once installed, right-click the MouthWatch Capture icon in the lower right corner of your screen.
- A menu will display. Hover over Other Software, then left-click Centaur Media.
If you don’t see the MouthWatch Capture icon, click the ^ button to expand the System Tray. You can drag and drop the icon from the expanded System Tray down to your Taskbar.
Step 2 – Plug in the MouthWatch Camera
Make sure you plug the USB connector into a powered USB port. Sometimes these are located on the front or back of the computer. If your monitor has USB ports, these may not be powered.
If setting up a MouthWatch Plus+, use a USB 3.0 port.
Step 3 – Confirm MouthWatch Capture Detects the Camera
Once the camera is plugged in, the MouthWatch Capture icon should turn blue in the system tray, indicating it sees the camera.
Step 4 – Device Setup in Centaur
From the top toolbar in Centaur, select Capture, then choose Setup (Advanced).
You will need your Centaur password to access Advanced Setup. If you do not have this password, contact Centaur support to retrieve it.
Step 5 – Configure Video Device
On the Device Setup screen, open the Video tab in the top-right corner. Ensure USB Video Device is selected, then click Properties.
Step 6 – Adjust Properties
In the Properties window, match your settings to the example below, then open Settings.
- Select Mode 3 under Video Capturing Mode.
- Ensure Still Pin is checked on the right-hand side.
- Click OK to save.
If images display yellow markings after setup, switch the Video Capturing Mode to Mode 1 instead of Mode 3.
Step 7 – All Set!
Click the Camera icon on the top toolbar in Centaur to launch the camera and begin capturing images.
