The unit supports up to 4 connected Video Inputs (dependant on model) via the 75Ω BNC connectors. Connect cameras to the video inputs, starting from input 1.

5.12

Step 2 - Monitor

COM1

The unit supports a main monitor via ‘Mon’. A monitor can also be connected via the VGA connector.

IMPORTANT NOTE

On initial boot, the unit will utilise the composite output (MON A) and display a request for conrmation that the message can be seen. If no conrmation is received after 30 seconds, the unit will REBOOT and display a similar message via the VGA output. If this message is not conrmed within 30 seconds, the unit will REBOOT again and continue this cycle until a conrmation is received.

Step 3 - Connecting the USB Mouse

The unit is supplied with a USB mouse to allow easy conguration and navigation. This should be connected to the USB socket at the front of the unit.

Step 4 - Connecting Audio

The unit supports one channel of bi-directional audio, accessible. Connect the audio equipment to the phono sockets AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT. The audio channel defaults to recording camera 1.

The following modes of operation are supported:

• Challenge – intruders from an RVRC.

• Listen – to local audio from a site at the RVRC.

• Record - local audio from a site with the video.

Eco4

Step 5 - Connecting to the Network

The unit supports a 10/100Mbps auto-detecting network port. Use a CAT5 cable to connect the unit to the network, if the unit is going to be networked. This is an option not a requirement.

Eco4

By default the unit is congured for DHCP i.e. the unit is automatically allocated an IP address from a network DHCP server. Most domestic routers (ie the standard wireless router supplied by an ISP) have a DHCP server embedded in them.

DHCP works by assigning an IP address at initial connection to the network. It is possible however that this IP address can change without notication i.e. following power failure. It is therefore recommended that the unit be allocated a xed IP address. A xed IP address can be assigned via the Conguration Menu pages:Network Settings->Network->IP Address.

When the unit is powered up, the network address can be found by viewing on a local monitor and navigating to Conguration Menu pages:System Settings->System->IP Address, or by accessing the router conguration pages and viewing the connected hardware, refer to ‘Conguring The Unit’ for

further guidance on locating the unit’s IP address and for details of the default DNS (Domain Name Server) address.

DNS (Dynamic Name Servers) is supported to allow the unit can be assigned a name. This removes the need for the unit to have a xed IP address and makes it easier for a remote user to locate. 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. The DNS name can be reset on the System->System conguration page.

Step 6 - Alarms / Relays

Alarms

The unit supports 4 normally open/closed alarm inputs via the back panel or one Global keyswitch input with camera specic inputs congurable as entry/exit alarms.

Step 7 - Connecting Serial Ports

Serial port offers RS-232 & RS-485 connectivity via the ‘COM 1’ port.

The Serial port has two main uses:

1. Connecting twisted pair telemetry for PTZ cameras.

2. Debug operations.

Step 8 - Connecting Power

Eco4

Connect the 12v DC power adaptor (supplied) to the unit and then to the wall socket, or to a fused spur connection. To be compliant with wiring regulations in some countries, an Alarm/Security device should be connected to a fused spur and not a wall outlet socket (check local regulations before installation).

Eco4

Conguring the Unit

The unit can be congured either on the local monitor or over the network using a PC with Internet Explorer or similar browser. Both have near identical menu interfaces.

The IP address of the unit is required to access the webpages. It can be identied from the conguration menu pages using the local monitor, press the MENU button on the IR Remote Control and navigate to the System Settings->System menu to nd the DHCP assigned IP address.

Note: The unit can be installed in a DHCP network environment where an IP address, subnet

mask and default gateway will automatically be allocated from the network DHCP Server (DHCP is enabled by default).

Note: If a DNS (Domain Name Server) address is not to be used, it is strongly advised

that a xed IP address be assigned (a DHCP assigned address can change without notication i.e. following power failure). A xed IP address can be assigned via the Network Settings->Network menu.

For information on locating the unit’s IP address via a PC and serial port connection, refer to Appendix D.

Default DNS Address

It is recommended that a DNS (Domain Name Server) address be congured. Assigning a recognisable name can help a remote user to locate the unit.

If no System name is allocated to the unit, the default DNS address will be:

machine serial number.yourdomain.com

• <machine serial number> is displayed in the System menu

page and also on the underside of the unit.

• <yourdomain> is the name assigned to your

DNS network.

The default DNS address can be renamed via the System->System menu. Following renaming, the DNS address will be:

yourname.yourdomain.com

• ’ yourname‘ is the name assigned via the Network menu.

Note: To activate an assigned DNS address, it will be necessary to reboot the unit. The unit

can be rebooted via System Settings:Maintain-> Reset.

IMPORTANT: To set the time and date on the unit, navigate to System Settings->Time and Date.
