MULTIPLE, SIMULTANEOUS VIDEO STREAMS

Dedicated Micros’ unique Visual Signal Processor (ViSP) allows the CamVu720 Series to transmit multiple simultaneous MPEG-4, H.264 and/ or JPEG images to any number of associated NetVu Connected devices for image viewing. Each stream can be tailored to suit the viewer’s bandwidth requirements.

CLOSED IPTV

Dedicated Micros’ award winning Closed IPTV solution combines open standard IP protocols with patent pending innovation to provide simple to install, safe and secure IP video solutions across new or existing networks.

Automatically allocating IP addresses to IP cameras by physical port, a Closed IPTV system is completely deterministic, creating rewalls and monitoring point-to-point IP connections so they cannot be hacked or intercepted. Critical to the security of a Closed IPTV system is the unique implementation of Trusted Endpoint technology; a secret signature, applied at lock down, enables endpoint devices such as IP cameras to be secure, immediately triggering a security alert should any interference be detected.

This ground breaking solution provides a very simple and secure answer to IP video, meaning that no prior knowledge of IP networking is required. Sophisticated and Dependable network security can be achieved with a single click.

Conguring the Unit

Using the Unit with Secure Closed IPTV

1) Connect the camera to a Closed IP Network switch using Cat5 network cable. The POE version of this camera will draw power from with the DM/NSW/CPP model switch, or with DM/NSW/CP model switch if connected to a POE injector and separate power supply.

2) Ensure that the Closed IP NVR or Console that the switch is connected to is in Conguration mode to allow new cameras connect.

3) Power up the camera and wait for the on-screen acknowledgement on the monitor attached to the Closed IP NVR or Console. Alternatively check the Camera Overview web page on the Closed IP NVR or Console to determine out the camera status.

4) Once the camera has been detected and added, remember to secure the switch by moving out of Conguration mode, failure to do this will leave the Closed IPTV system unsecured.

Locating the Unit IP address

The unit is congured using on-board conguration pages. This can be done remotely once the unit has been installed in its chosen location, using the web browser on a PC in the same subnet as the unit.

The unit conguration pages can be accessed using the unit IP address or DNS name. The unit has DHCP factory enabled. When the unit is connected to a DHCP network for the rst time, an IP address is

CamVu 720 VR Dome

automatically assigned by the network switch or router it is connected to. Most routers will have the facility to enable DHCP and DNS, if it is not available, contact your network administrator.

The default DNS address for each unit is factory set as the serial number. This address can be found on the serial label on the unit or via the packaging the unit came in.

If DHCP and DNS are not available, the IP address can be found by connecting an analogue monitor to the BNC connection of the camera. The unit IP address is displayed on the analogue video output for 10 minutes from powering the unit on.

The DNS or IP address can be typed directly into the address bar of a web browser.

Note: The unit’s DNS address can be changed subsequently to something more memorable

or meaningful than its serial number by editing the System name option in the System conguration page.

Zero_conf conguration

If a permanent IP address is not assigned to the unit, it will attempt to contact the DHCP server every time it starts up, and periodically thereafter. The unit support zero-conguration networking (sometimes known as Bonjour), this enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks. Zero-conguration uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or congure DNS servers. By loading a suitable free add-on to your web browser such as Bonjour for Windows for Internet Explorer or BonjourFoxy for FireFox zero conguration devices such as this unit can easily be discovered and accessed.

Page 15

Accessing the Conguration Pages

The unit is congured using the on-board conguration pages. To access these:

AoE

This menu allows conguration of the units ATA over Ethernet (AoE) function. AoE is a network protocol designed for simple high-performance access of storage devices over Ethernet networks. Importantly the external storage device must be located on the same network as the unit. AoE does not rely on network layers such as IP and TCP, making it non routable i.e. routers cannot be used to forward a packet across disparate networks. AoE packets can only travel within a single local Ethernet storage area network (adds a physical layer of security to the information). The stored video can only be accessed by plugging directly into an ethernet socket in the same LAN as the host. This means AoE cannot be accessed over the Internet or other IP networks, but makes AoE more lightweight (with less load on the host), easier to implement, provides a layer of inherent security, and offers higher performance.

alarm. The pulse extension time starts on an alarm trigger. If that contact is triggered again after the rst alarm has nished but within the pulse extension, the second trigger will not restart the alarm, but will extend the current alarm duration. Enter the time in seconds for this extension.

Nuisance This is a repetitive detector value. When an alarm is received on

the unit, it will store the alarm time and monitor the number of times the same detector is triggered within an hour period. If the detector is triggered the number of times entered here, the unit will deactivate this detector from triggering an alarm for an hour. The unit will continue to monitor the detector and check how many times it is triggered during this period. If it is again triggered more than the amount set in the nuisance counter, it will remain de-activated for another hour. This will continue until the trigger value falls below the nuisance count setting. To disable this feature, leave the setting as ‘0’.

Stuck Time (min) If any of the alarms/detectors are active for a period longer than

specied here, they will automatically be omitted. This time period is

set in minutes.
