Requirements:
- 2 pairs of 3 stumps. Place 3 stumps at batters and bowlers end at the right distance.

Steps to record in Ball Tracking mode:
Step 1: Set up:
- Place the tripod 4 to 6 metres behind the bowler's stumps.
- Secure the camera on the tripod at 1.8m height.
- On the Ludimos app, click the Camera icon at the centre of the bottom menu to open the upload set up page.
- In the next screen, pick the account and group you want to upload the video to.
- Optional: Add relevant tags to search and find this video later in the app.
- Optional: If you are working with juniors, select the pitch length accordingly. Make sure that you have the stumps placed at the correct distance.
Step 2: Calibrate the scene
- You should see 2 white boxes and you want stumps within these boxes for successful calibration.
- Zoom in the screen or move the tripod forward or backward to place the stumps in the boxes.
- If needed, tilt the phone to cover a lot of ground and avoid unwanted background or roof.
- Click calibrate and wait for 5 to 7 seconds for the calibration to succeed.
- Upon success, you will see the boxes turning green and the base of the stumps connected by a purple bar.
- If the calibration isn’t right, adjust the tripod or camera and try again.
- If calibration fails 2 or 3 times, then switch to Camera mode and follow the instructions in the next section: How to record in Camera mode.
Step 3: Video recording
You have 2 options to record videos based on your coaching needs. You can either record the video in streaming mode or normal mode. More info on streaming & normal modes can be found here.
- You will see a purple record button enabled upon successful calibration.
- Click the button to start recording.
- After desired time, stop the video recording by clicking the button again.
- After recording is stopped, the video will be automatically uploaded to the configured group.
- You can monitor video upload progress from the video uploads panel which can be accessed from the app’s home page.
Step 4: Video upload management
