1. Introduction
1.1. Overview
The Air Goggle NVS440 is a state-of-the-art 4-channel A/V server which transmits both video and audio data in
real time with high-resolution at high frame rate. This feature is possible via the use of MPEG4 CODEC technology,
which provides data transmission at high compression rates with high data resolution via networks. The NVR440
can be connected, controlled and monitored from a remote network location. Unlike CCTV or DVR, the NVS440 is
easy to install and cuts costs and space without any additional installation. The feature packed NVS440 is based
on Embedded Software Solution (Embedded Web Server, Embedded Streaming Server, Network P rotocol). The
NVS440 ensures high performance, stability, and provides integration of various Internet solutions.
1.2. Features of NVS440
" 4-channel real time Video/Audio streaming based on MPEG-4 video and ADPCM audio.
" 1-channel Full Duplex Audio between NVS440 and Client PC for two-way communication
" Viewer assisted recording and playback functions.
" 4 Alarm sensor inputs and 2 relay control outputs
Motion detection – Up to 3 motion detection regions per channel. Motion detection can initiate video recording,
which has the option to be sent to the user through FTP and/or E-mail.
Resolution :
NTSC Video : 640x480(VGA) for one channel, 320x240(QVGA) for 4 channels.
PAL/SECAM : 704x576 for one channel, 352x288(CIF) for 4 channels
" Remote Software Upgrade over Network
1.3. Applications of NVS440

Power.
HDD : HDD access indicator, LED turn on when HDD is being busy.
LAN : Link indic ator, continuous green light m eans that LAN is in normal state. W hen there is traffic on
the LAN, orange light flickers .
Power : Status indicator shows the status of the NVS440 in three different colors.
1 Green : The green light indicates that the NVS440 is operating properly. If the green light is
continuously on, it m eans that the NVS440 is read y to transmit data via network. If the
green light blinks, it means that there is traffic between LAN and NVS440.
2 Red : The red light indicates that the hardware of the NVS440 is not operating properly.
3 Orange : The orange light indicates that the software of the NVS440 is not operating properly.
When applying power to NVS440, power indicator temporarily lights on with red

6. Tips for Using NVS440
6.1. Alarm Input/Output
The Alarm In/RLY OUT Connector is used to connect the various sensing and alerting devices. Exam ples of
sensing devices are infr ared sensors, motion sens ors, heat/smoke sens ors, and magnetic sensor. Examples
of alerting devices are Sirens or Beacons. It can also be used to lock doors or trigger a call to the police
department. The optio ns are limitless since the output can a lso be ported t o an solid state rela y to drive high
voltage devices like garage door openers, motors, sprinkler systems and much more.
Figure 6-1. Alarm IN/RLY OUT Connector
No. Name Description
1 In - Input signal from external sensor device (-)
2 In + Input signal from external sensor device (+)
3 Out - Output signal to external alerting device (-)
4 Out + Output signal to external alerting device (+)
1. Alarm Input(ALARM IN)
Connect the two wires of the sensors. The sensor type can be set in Administrative
Mode(Ref. 5.5 & 5.6). Output lines providing on-off switching are connected between
“In-“ and “In+” pins. Figure 6-2 shows the input circuit of “Alarm In”.

2. Alarm Output(RLY OUT)
Alarm output is configured as a relay circuit. Relay circuit in normal operation is open and circuit is
closed upon input trigg er fr om m otion or externa l sensor. The relay is capable of s witching 30V/2 A
electrical signal.

6.2. Trouble Shooting
• NVS440 in viewing mod e, neither channel name nor video is display and eventually timeout message
is shown up.
Check the power and network connection of NVS440.
To check if the network is properly operating, open the browser and try to connect to any server.
Example) http://www.InscapeData.com
Or open the MS-DOS Prompt and type the following.
ping www.InscapeData.com
Then press Enter. If you see the “ Reply from …” message it means that the network is working
properly. To check if the NVS440 is connected, open the MS-DOS Prompt and type the following.
ping [the IP of the server]
Example) ping 192.168.1.112
If you see the “Reply from …” message, it means that the server is properly connected.
If you do not see a Reply message, check if the network cable and power cable are properly
connected.
• Name of the channel on NVS440 is displayed but there is no video.
Check if there is i nput vide o source to t he channel. And check if there is a firewall in the net work. Check if
the network is NAT type.
In case there is a firewall in the network:
Please refer to “Firewall” Application Note in the CD.
If the network is NAT type, you need port mapping.
Please refer to “IP sharing device” Application Note in the CD.
2. After Successfully Connecting to the NVS440
• Video movement is slow.
! In Basic Setup of Adm in Mode, lower the “Quality”. High qua lity means more data. You can also
set the “Max. Bandwidth” t o higher value. But t his value mus t be lower than the m aximum upload
speed of your network. For example, if the maximum uploading bandwidth of the network is
NVS440 User’s Guide
---- 37
3737
37 ----
400Kbps, set the total “Max. Band width” of the 4 channels to 38 4Kbps. If you set it higher, the
video image can be corrupted with artifacts.
Ask your network manager or ISP for maximum uploading bandwidth of the network.
! Check whether dua l streaming mode is enabled a nd NVS440 is recording vi deo. Dual streaming
mode is enabled b y selecting “Enab le High Qualit y Video Recording” in basic set-up page (Refer
to Section 5.2). When dual streaming mode is enabled, NVS440 provides low speed video to
connected user while recording high quality video into HDD.
• The image is dull and I see green, pink dots.
This could be caused by performance limitation of the PC. Do not run too many programs while running
viewer program. The other reason could be missing data while transmission from NVS440.
•••• Mosaic phenomenon.
Mosaic phenomenon oc curs when not enough network bandwidth is availa ble considering the resolution
and frame rate of the video.
Example is 640x480 video with low Max. Bandwidth.
Users are recommended to adjust resolution and frame rates to lower values for lower bandwidth network.
3. How can I maintain high quality video recording when I’m using low speed network
NVS440 has Dual streaming mode that enables high quality video recording on the HDD, while providing lower
quality video to on-line us er s. This featur e is enab led by selec ting “ Enab le High Q ualit y Recor ding” in b asic setup mode. (Refer to 5.2 for more detailed information.)
