Chapter 3 - Installation

3-1 MRS Server:

There are two programs through which a user can run the MRS server:

1. MRS Service Program (Web Admin Interface Server):

This is a Windows Service Program that allows the user to setup a server on any PC or dedicated server and then access and change settings in the server from any location, using the web. (Recommended)

2. MRS Monitor-Server Application:

This program allows the user to run the server in the same program where the video and audio are streaming. However, the “MRS Monitor” program only allows one device to work at any one time and gives full access to the server only from the computer itself and most of its features cannot be reached from the web. This server program is fitted for small clients

that have purchased only one device.

3-1-1 Installing the MRS Service

The control centre server software can be installed on any PC using Windows XP or later. The server requires a Fixed (Static) IP address, which is publicly accessible, in order for the external units to connect. Please refer to the “Server Technical Requirements” section of Chapter 4 in this user manual, for full Server Machine Technical requirements. In order to allow communication between the server and MRS/PMRS Units and Clients, the following ports must be open in the server machine’s firewall:

12654 TCP 12655 UDP

For setting up the server on a local area network PC, follow these instructions to open the ports:

1) Make sure your router has a fixed (Static) IP Address. If it doesn’t, you should

arrange to get one through your internet service provider.

2) Enter your router admin settings.

3) Set your local PC (server PC) to have a fixed local (Static) IP Address assigned in the

router.

4) In the routers port forwarding settings, you need to open the above two ports and

then port forward them to your local PC’s fixed local (Static) IP Address.

September 28, 2016

INFODRAW R&D PMRS/TMRS-201 User Manual v6.0.0.2

5) After opening and forwarding the ports to your local PC in your router, it is also

recommended to open the 2 ports on your local PC itself, in the Windows Firewall feature. Open “Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Advanced Settings”. In windows XP and Vista, enter the “Settings” of the ‘operating internet connection’ and add the new ports. In Windows 7 enter the “Inbound Rules”, open the “Action” menu, choose “new rule” and follow the instructions to open the 2 ports.

If you are setting up a virtual server with a server hosting company, ask your service provider to open the above ports in the server for you. The MRS Server can also be set up on Microsoft Windows Server OS.

The MRS SERVER supports multiple units and clients. Only a single instance of the MRS SERVER software may be running on a MRS server/system at any one time. The purpose of the MRS server is to communicate with all MRS/PMRS units and clients and to stream video/audio/location from units to clients.

To setup the MRS Service Program (Web Admin Interface Server), follow these instructions:

1) Make sure that both MRS Service setup files (“Setup_MRS_Service.msi” and

“setup.exe”) are placed in the same directory on your server machine.

2) Run the “setup.exe” file.

Locate the installed MRS Server folder and run the “MRS_Service.exe” file. This will activate the MRS Server Windows Service Program on your server machine.

The starting point for the web administration interface is the main menu page, reachable at the following address (enter this address in your web browser):

http://SERVER_IP:12654/admin

'serverip' is the IP address of your server. If you are trying to access the MRS Service from your server computer - you can use 'localhost' or ‘127.0.0.1’ as the address.

If a secure TLS (SSL) connection is desired, use the following address:

https://serverip:12654/admin

 You can create your own certificate (Recommended) or, by default, accept the

certificate created by Infodraw R&D.

 Infodraw can send documentation regarding creating certificates on demand.

September 28, 2016

INFODRAW R&D PMRS/TMRS-201 User Manual v6.0.0.2

* The MRS Service program is a TCP and UDP server that serves MRS/PMRS devices and monitor clients. It's most basic functionality and prime reason for its existence is to distribute video packets from cellular MRS/PMRS devices with limited bandwidth to a number of monitor clients observing the video stream. The MRS Service Program under MS Windows OS takes form of a Windows Service. A Windows Service has no application-like user interface as does the MRS Monitor Server Application, so it is instead configured using a Web Administration Interface. This program allows the user to enter the server through the Web at any location.

The “Server Administrator Login” screen will appear.

Every time the server does not identify the browser as the administrator, it requests the user to enter the administrator's password. The initial password is mrs. The administrator is required to change this initial password to a different one, immediately after first login.

Server Based Architecture is now activated. Units and Clients can now communicate with the server. This architecture is recommended for multi-unit to multi-client communication.

CAUTION: If you are connecting multiple MRS/PMRS units to the server, it is recommended NOT to view the video/audio/GPS streams from the “MRS Monitor Server Application”

itself. The system will be more stable if the data streams are only viewed from other clients connected to the server. The server software should be used primarily as a communication program between MRS/PMRS units and MRS Clients. Therefore, when connecting multiple units to the server, it is recommended to use the MRS Service Program (Web Admin Interface Server).

Single Encoder

When this box is ticked, that video channel will have a single encoder (Bit Rate/ Frame Rate) for viewing/recording the video stream. When this box is Un-ticked, this enables you to assign multiple encoders to the video channel (one for viewing and one for recording.)

Destination

Allows you to apply settings for the multiple video encoders. Please view the “Multiple Video Encoders” section of this manual, for more information.

Image Size

This allows you to adjust the Image Size (Resolution) of the video channel. The unit supports the following Image Sizes:

PAL – D1/CIF/QCIF NTSC – D1/CIF/QCIF

Make sure that the settings are compatible to the camera you have (PAL/NTSC), and to the bandwidth at your disposal. For example D1 (TV quality) will require high bandwidth, CIF can be afforded with medium bandwidth and QCIF is the format more suitable to low bandwidth.

Frame Rate

Adjust the Frame Rate of the video channel to fit the bandwidth at your disposal. The Frame Rate can be set to any number from:

1 to 25 fps (for PAL). 1 to 30 fps (for NTSC).

Bitrate

Adjusting the Bit Rate of the video channel changes the quality of the video, it should be set to fit your bandwidth capabilities and your cellular package. The Bit Rate can be set to any number from 10kbit/s to 2Mbit/s.

Interlaced

DO NOT enable this feature on the PMRS-201 units.

Rotate

Rotate the video channel to a 0/90/180/270 degree angle.

Detect Motion

Tick this box to activate Visual Motion Detection. For more information view the “Visual Motion Detection (VMD)” section of this user manual.

Frame Text

Tick this box to enable the frame text to be displayed on the upper-left side of the video channel.

Sync Frames

This feature should always be disabled unless told otherwise.

Write Location

Tick this box to display the GPS Co-ordinates of the unit in the frame text.

The most important parameters when viewing the video streams are the bit rate and frame rate. The bit rate is based on the bandwidth supported by the mobile network in the area. The bit rate of all viewing channels must be less than the bandwidth. For example, if viewing only 1 channel and the bandwidth is 200kb then the bit rate must be less or equal to 200kb. The frame rate can be any number from 1 to 25/30 but in a low bandwidth environment such as 200kb, 10 - 15 is more suitable.

September 28, 2016

INFODRAW R&D PMRS/TMRS-201 User Manual v6.0.0.2

Automatic Bandwidth Control:

The unit does have automatic bandwidth control which will automatically reduce the Bit Rate and Frame Rate of the video channel, if they are set too high for the mobile network bandwidth.

CAUTION: If the Bit Rate and Frame Rate are set excessively higher than the mobile network bandwidth, this may cause the unit to disconnect from the server.

Data Usage:

When determining the bitrate in the video parameter please consider the SIM card package provided to you by your cellular provider, please consider the amount of data the unit will consume. The table below provides an example of a PMRS-201 unit’s mobile data consumption when streaming continuously.

4-1-5 Device Location:

The PMRS unit has built-in GPS location functionality, which transmits the position of the unit to any connected client. To activate GPS, you need to select “Activate GPS” in the configuration software of the unit (MRS Device Configurator).

GPS usually needs clear sky (or partially) to detect position. It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to fully operate with GPS and GSM outside. The unit starts by searching for its position then connects to GSM. If the unit is located inside a building without clear sky, it will struggle to find its location. It will take about 3 minutes for the unit to give up and continue with the rest of the system (connecting to GSM). Therefore it is better to disable GPS (using the Device Configurator) for units operating inside a building without clear sky.

There are 2 options to view devices on the map:

1. System level - All connected devices over specified full screen map.

2. Device level - Specific device only over a small map.

The System supports Google Maps and Open Street Maps. Google Maps is the default map used. To change to Open Street Maps, open the “View” menu and select “Maps”.

The “Select Map” menu will open. In the List box, select “Open Street Map”. Then press “OK”.

The Location screen will now be viewed using Open Street Maps.
