2. Product Features

2.1 Product Introduction

The Video Server Encoder is a versatile solution that allows you to make the most of your existing analog surveillance
infrastructure. The Video Server is a standalone system with a built-in video encoder that converts an analog camera
into a full-featured IP-based system. The Video Server can be remotely accessed and controlled using a Web browser
over an Intranet or the Internet.

The Video Server’s Video Encoder makes it possible to integrate a pre-existing analog surveillance infrastructure into
a fully-functional IP surveillance system. The Video Server is an ideal choice for banks, airports, factories, govern­ment buildings, prisons, and traffic surveillance applications - any location where surveillance equipment is already
installed and functioning.

This video server adapts Texas Instrument‘s (TI‘s) newest digital media processor -- the TMS320DM 365 for efficient
image operation, while also offering simultaneous triple-codec ( H.264 / MPEG-4 / MJPEG ) video compressions with
the highest resolution of Full D1, at 30 / 25 frames per second in the NTSC / PAL systems, respectively. In addition,
users based on different bandwidths can choose multi-profile video streaming at different resolutions.

The video server provides stable, reliable and convenient network surveillance. It safely downloads automatic video
codec and other components, and lets you set up the control settings very easily. It provides UPnP features as well. Its
USB interface is for basic network setting and updating. The SD card slot supports alarm and event recording and up­dating. Furthermore, this encoder board comes with the Power over Ethernet (PoE) function, and its RS-485 interface
can be connected with all kinds of Pelco-D PTZ cameras.

Alarm handling features provide alerts in the event of loss of video or loss of network connection. Motion alarms
with configurable detection areas allow for effective surveillance and help to mitigate the need for constant human
supervision. A buffer system allows the server to capture images to the built-in SD card slot before and after an event
occurs.

We have launched this triple-codec video server for the more advanced digital surveillance solutions demanded by
our clients. We believe this unit is the right answer to your Network surveillance problems. You will find it practical,
precise and indispensable.

3.4 The USB Function

By connecting the Video Server board with a PC via the USB connector, the Video Server board can provide different
functions.

1. Insert an SD card:

Insert an SD card into the Video Server, then connect to the PC. You might transfer files between the SD card
and the PC. Once you’ve connected your Video Server to your computer, the Windows system will detect the
connection and ask you what you want to do with your SD card.

In other words, if the user connects the Video Server with an SD card and the PC via the USB connector, the
Video Server can be used as a normal card reader.

5.2.2 Set IP Address

You need to set an IP address for the unit if the LAN unit isn’t connected to a DHCP server. Otherwise, please follow
the instructions given below:

Set the IP, MASK and GATEWAY. The following is a sample setting.

IP: 192.168.1.X

MASK: 255.255.255.0

GATEWAY: 0.0.0.0

NOTE: When only one unit of the Video Server is connected to a computer or LAN, you can freely assign
an IP address for the Video Server. For example, there are a range of Video Server IP addresses from

192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255. You can pick one for use from the range of the IP. It’s not necessary
to set MASK and GATEWAY; leave the settings as default.

When a Video Server is connected to a WAN, you must acquire a unique, permanent IP address and
correctly configure the MASK and GATEWAY settings according to your network architecture.
If you have any questions regarding those settings, please contact a qualified MIS professional or
your ISP.

NOTE: When connecting to a network, each connected Video Server must be assigned a unique IP, which
must be in the same class type as your network address. IP addresses are written as four sets of
numbers separated by periods; for example, 192.168.1.1 Therefore, if the connected network is
identified as Class C, for example, the first three sets of numbers of the Video Server IP address must
be the same as the network address. If the connected network is identified as Class B, the first two
sets of numbers of the Video Server IP address must be the same as the network address. If you have
any questions regarding these settings, please contact a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
