Overview of the CamVu 2000

Step 1 Connecting to the Network

Note: If the device utilises POE (Power Over Ethernet), this step should be postponed until all other

The CamVu 2000 supports one RJ45 network port. Use a properly screened Ethernet cable to connect the unit to the network.

By default the unit is congured for DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol). DHCP works on assigning

an IP address at initial connection to the network. It is however possible for this IP address to change

without notication (i.e. in the case of power failure). Therefore it is recommended that the CamVu 2000 is allocated a xed IP address to remove the possibility of address change.

5.13

Step 2 Connecting Video

The CamVu 2000 has a 75Ω BNC connector congurable for PAL or NTSC which can be used to focus the

lens during installation. The video feed will be sent via the network connection.

Note: This feature will be available after future development.

Step 3 Connecting Alarms

The CamVu 2000 supports two EOL (End Of Line) alarm inputs, these are located on the push t connector.

The End Of Line (EOL) functionality is part of the Advanced Alarms supported on NetVu Connected products and included features required for Central Monitoring and is compatible with the British Standard BS8418.

this stage.

Conguring the Unit

Locating the Unit IP address

The unit is congured using the on-board web pages. This can be done remotely once the unit has been installed in position.

The IP address of the unit is required to access these pages. The assigned IP address can be found by using the serial port. For ease of conguration, it is recommended that the installer sets the IP address before installing the unit in position.

One of the rst tasks should be to disable DHCP and assign a permanent IP address to the unit. If this is not done, the IP address of the unit may change whenever it is powered off, and the new address will have to be acquired directly from the unit (ie using a serial connection or by connecting a spot monitor and cycling the power).

It is possible to enable DHCP to allow the unit to acquire a free IP address and then allocate the address permanently by entering the details in the IP address elds of the cameras Network web page (refer to page

11) which will also disable DHCP.

If a permanent IP address is not assigned to the unit, it will attempt to contact the DHCP server every time it starts up. If for any reason a DHCP server cannot allocate an IP address to the unit, the camera will use a default IP address (169.254.6.10)

Note: Always consult the network administrator for IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway information.

To acquire the IP address using the serial connection;

1. On the PC, click Start->Programs->Accessories->Communications->Hyperterminal and create a new connection via the COM port using the following settings:

Bits per second 38400

Data Bits 8

Parity None

Stop bits 1

Flow Control None

2. With the power to the camera disconnected, connect a standard 9DF-9DF RS232 communications cable from the PC to the serial port of the unit. Connect power to the camera.

3. Hyperterminal will display the communications information as the unit boots. This will include the IP address, Subnet and Gateway.

4. To alter the IP address settings of the camera from the Hyperterminal, input the following

information after the camera has nished its startup:

setip followed by the new IP address e.g. setip 192.168.1.100

setsub followed by the new subnet mask e.g. setsub 255.255.0.0

setgw followed by the new gateway address e.g. setgw 192.168.50.1

reset (to reset the camera so that the new IP address settings are adopted)

General

CamVu 2000 Camera

This page shows the general information about the unit, including the version of software installed and the video standard adopted.

System Resolution This is the fundamental resolution for the unit.

System Name The system name can be edited here.

Camera Name A name can be assigned to the camera here.

Timezone From the accompanying drop down menu, select the appropriate timezone

(corresponding to the location of the camera).

Sync Time from PC The unit can be synchronised with the PC being used for the conguration

process. The PC network clock time will then be adopted by the unit.

All other parameters on this page may be required in the event that Technical Support are contacted.

6.26

Video

This page allows conguration of the video settings for network viewing.

6.211

The unit supports both JPEG and MPEG-4 compression for high quality image display.

The JPEG image size has two congurable parameters; File Size and Image Resolution.

The le size setting can be congured between 5 to 255 KB. This determines the size of the images transmitted across the network. The image resolution setting has been included to allow the most appropriate image resolution to be congured in line with the selected le size. The image resolution is the number of pixels captured in each image.

Resolution Alias This describes which of the alias High, Medium and Low viewing settings

are being congured, for either JPEG or MPEG.

Resolution There are six pre-congured resolutions to select from.

Size (KB) This is the image size for the JPEG alias being congured. A larger le size

will give more information per frame, as less compression will be used.

TIP:

6.212

The resolution and size settings should be tested to ensure the most appropriate recordings are produced that t the customer and storage requirements for the system.

Bitrate The bitrate dictates how much information is sent in each second of MPEG

video. Higher bitrate will generally result in a better quality image, but will take more network capacity.

Framerate (pps) This dictates the number of pictures per second this prole will send to the

viewer

I-Frame Interval (secs) MPEG-4 compression uses I and P frames, the I frame being a full frame

image from the video source, the P frame being a record of only those areas of the image which differ to the I frame. This option allows the User to determine how often a new I frame will be recorded.
