following specifications are requirements for proper installation and operation of ioibox units:
•Ambient Environment Conditions: Keep the ioibox unit in a clean and dry indoor
environment. Operating temperature should be maintained within 0°c to 50°c.
Operating humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing). The ioibox unit should be kept
indoors or in a shielded enclosure dry and free from water conden sation. To prevent
overheating, avoid positioning the ioibox unit near heaters or heating system outputs
and avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Keep the ioibox unit free from dust, dirt, smoke,
and exposure to EMI.
•Accessibility: The location should allow easy access to unit connections and cables.
Leave at least 33 cm (1 foot) behind the unit to allow for easy cable access.
•Safety: Cables and electrical cords should be routed in a manner that prevents safety
hazards, such as from tripping, wire fraying, overheating, etc. Assure that nothing
rests on the ioibox cables or power cords
be indoor connections that require being shielded from outdoor cable connections.
. All cables connected to the TRK unit shall
•Ample Air Circulation: Leave enough space around the ioibox unit to allow free air
circulation.
•Proximal Location: ioiboxes should be placed in locations that are optimal for the
type of video cabling used between the unit and the cameras and external devices.
Using a cable longer than the manufacturer’s specifications for optimal video signal
may result in degradation of color and video parameters.
•Physical Security
ioiboxes provide threat detection for physical security systems. In order to ensure
ioiboxes cannot be disabled or tampered with, the systems should be installed with
security measures regarding physical access by trusted and un-trusted parties.
•Network Security
ioibox units transmit over IP to security personnel for video surveillance. Proper
network security measures should be in place to assure networks remain operating
and free from malicious interference. ioibox units are intended for installation on the
backbone of a trusted network.
•Electrostatic Safeguards
ioibox units as well as other equipment connected to it (relay outputs, alarm inputs,
racks, carpeting, etc) shall be properly grounded to prevent electrostatic discharge.

Indoor and Outdoor Installation Considerations
The following sections provide insight and key information that should be considered when installing the
ioibox units:
• Indoor Installation (page 7)
• Outdoor Installation (page 7)
Caution
To avoid damage from overheating or unit failure, assure, there is sufficient temperature
regulation to support the ioibox unit requirements (cooling/heating). Ambient temperature
should be kept in the range 0°c to 50°c.
Indoor Installation
The following are additional consideration for an indoor installation.
•There must be a fuse or breaker at the starting point of the electrical wiring
infrastructure.
•For indoor installations, such as industrial installation, the ioibox units must be
protected from elements, such as damaging fumes, metallic dust, extreme
temperatures, soot, moisture, over spray, etc.
.• ioibox units should not be placed near or on radiators and heat sources
Outdoor Installation
The following are additional consideration for an outdoor installation.
•For any outside wiring installation, always use weatherproof equipment, such as
boxes, receptacles, connectors, etc.
•For electrical wiring use the properly rated sheathed cables for conditions which the
cable will be exposed to (e.g. moister, heat, UV, and physical requirements, etc.)
•ioibox units must be protected from weather conditions. Units should be installed
within secure weatherproof storage, such as an outdoor communi cation cabinets,
junction boxes, or system cabinets.
•Plan ahead to determine where to install weatherproof outlet boxes and ioibox unit
storage. Whenever possible ground weatherproof boxes to an outdoor ground.
• Outdoor boxes should provide some form of a security locking mechanism.
• Look for an enclosure/casing suited for protecting the ioibox as needed for your
installation environment. It is recommended that a rating of IP65 / NEMA 4 or greater
be used. The following table provides National Electrical Manufacturers Associat ion
(NEMA) and Institute of Petroleum ratings. These are US and European ratings that
indicate an enclosures ability to withstand certain environmental conditions:
RatingDescription
IP54 / NEMA 2 Protected against splashing water and the ingress of most dust
7
RatingDescription
IP65 / NEMA 4 Completely protected against the ingress of dust and against water jets
NEMA 4X Same as NEMA 4 with the added benefit of being corrosion proof
IP67 / NEMA 6 Can be immersed in water under defined conditions and com pletely protected
against the ingress of dust
Cabling
Cabling should be routed for the shortest path and minimizing impedance. Cabling routes should be
planned for the fewest bends. Avoid unnecessary connections and use only approved connectors in
locations that provide accessibility.
The following sections discuss different considerations for the different cabling types:
Video Cable (page 9)
Electric/Power Supply Cables (page 9)
8
Video Cable
Use the appropriate connectors for indoor an outdoor cabling. Cables should be maintained at
scheduled intervals, connections should be secu red, and worn or damaged cables should be
replaced to assure optimally low impedance.
Recommended Cable Specifications:
•75 coaxial cable impedance
Note
Using a cable longer than the manufacturer’s specifications for optimal video signal may
result in degradation of color and video parameters.
Warning
To avoid damage to the system and system interference, a certified electrician must assure
that the ground voltage (ground loops and foreign stray voltage) is comparable among all
connected system components (ground isolation transformer may be required to solve
ground loop problems). This relates to all grounded devices as well as the shield of video
cables and equipment racks.
Electric/Power Supply Cables
The following should be considered for electrical wiring and cable s:
Warning
To prevent bodily injury or possible death, shut off the electrical current at the main switch
before tying-in wiring.
Warning:
The ioibox unit uses a three-wire power cord to make sure that the product is properly
grounded when in use. The plug on this cord will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. This is
a safety feature. If the intended power outlet does not support three prongs, one of which is a
ground, contact an electrician to install the appropriate outlet. NEVER remove or otherwise
attempt to defeat the ground pin of the power cord. Do not operate the ioibox unit in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor
.

•Check the local codes regarding indoor or outdoor wiring. Electrical wiring should be
installed in accordance with local codes and safety requirements.
• Electrical infrastructure and wiring should be installed by a licensed Electrician.
• Electrical cabling must contain a grounding conductor. All electrical components and
devices must be grounded for complete safety, especially for outdoor installations. To
help prevent electric shock, the power supply should be connected to properly
grounded electrical outlets. Electrical cords with three-prong plugs to help en sure
grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable.
•Many local codes now require outdoor electrical circuits to be protected with GFIs,
(Ground Fault Interrupters). Check your local code. GFIs are required in most areas
for outdoor circuits. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the installation of the
type of GFI you decide to use.
•Ensure that power cables are rated for the ioiboxes voltage and current requirements.
The voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater than the ioibox unit
ratings defined in this guide and marked on the product.
•To help protect the ioiboxes and connected system components from sudden,
transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, li ne
conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
•For underground wiring, always bury any underground cable at least 18" deep, but
24" is preferable. Cables buried at least 24" deep are less likely to be bothered or dug
up.
•Always use at least type UF sheathed cables for installations requiring underground
electrical wiring.
•There must be a fuse or breaker at the starting point of the electrical wiring
installation.
•ioibox units must have the external protective earth terminal permanently connected
to protective earth according to local regulations and codes. For more information,
Connecting the External Protective Earth Terminal (page 46).The protective
see
grounding conductor should be aluminum. The lug of the protective grounding
conductor should be aluminum; washers and screws should be hi Cr stainless steel,

29
•Do not attempt to move large racks alone. Use a minimum of two people for moving a
rack.
•Wheeled racks should be moved slowly over level floors. Caution should be given for
obstacles on the floor that may cause interference in the wheels and may be cause
for moving racks to topple. Additionally, caution should be given for overhead
obstacles that may catch the moving ioiboxes and topple them, such as tethered
wiring, door jams, or overhead conduits.
•For Electrical Safety, cords and cabling should be kept free from the wheels and
should not become pinched, cut, chafed, or crushed during movement.
•Ensure that the rack is level and stabilized before extending a component from the
rack.
•Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The
total rack load should not exceed 80% of the branch circuit rating.
• Ensure sufficient airflow for rack components.
• Do not step, stand, or climb on the rack or installed ioiboxes at any time, such as
when servicing other systems and components in a rack. Use an appropriate
stepstool.
•Do not hang or suspend items from the rack, which the rack was not intended to
support, such as hanging spools of wires, etc that may imbalance and destabilize the
rack.
•If a rack is only holding one unit, the unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack
to assure greater stability.
•When mounting ioiboxes in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the
top.
•If the rack wheels can be locked, assure they are locked to stabilize the rack before
adding, removing or servicing mounted ioiboxes.
•If stabilizing devices are provided with the rack, they should be installed before
mounting or servicing rack-mounted ioiboxes. In areas prone to earthquakes,
appropriate measures should be taken to secure racks for earthquake readine ss,
such as securing the racks to the walls.

Setting the ioibox IP
There are two connectivity methods for configuring the ioibox IP and network settings:
1. Over the network (switch/hub)
If you need to change the default IP, gateway or the subnet mask, you can do this over
the LAN/WAN network using a web browser when the following conditions are met:
•The IP of the machine accessing the ioibox-HTML setup application using
a Web Browser or running the ioimage SiteConfigurator application fits to
the subnet mask 255.255.255.0
•The network allows or has been configured for the factory shipped IP to be
visible to the machine where the ioibox-HTML setup application is
accessed from a Web Browser or where the SiteConfigurator is installed.
2. By a stand-alone computer connected to the ioibox if the following conditions are met:
• Windows 2000/XP/Vista with a 10/100 Ethernet port
• If the computer’s IP fits to the subnet mask 255.255.252.0
• The computer’s local area connection settings allow or have been
configured to support the factory shipped IP to be visible.
If these conditions are not met, you may need to temporarily make changes to you network settings
to allow the configuration of the ioibox network settings to requirements and then manually restore
the network settings afterwards. This requires administrative permission and should only be done
by a network administrator who is authorized to change these settings.
One a connection is established and the network settings allow communication the IP can be
change using one of two methods:
• Setting the IP Using ioimage HTML Setup application
• Setting the IP Using the ioimage SiteConfigurator application
Preparation
1. Write down the factory default IP addresses.
2. After installing the ioibox, connecting it to the network or PC, as well as the power
supply, press the reset button on the back of the ioibox. For additional reset options,
see the
Resetting the ioibox units section (page 51).
3. Make certain this IP number is added to the LAN/WAN network configuration to allow
the IP to be visible to the workstation computer where the ioibox HTML setup is
installed.
Important: To avoid IP conflicts on units using the default IP address, only a single unit
should be connected to the network at a time until the IP addresses can are changed.

ioibox unit Network IP Assignment Modes – DHCP/M anual
There are two ways for configuring the ioibox unit Block IP numbers:
•Manual IP Configuration Mode
In this mode, the ioibox IP is user-defined and can be changed by using the ioiboxHTML setup application.
•Automatic IP Configuration Mode
In this mode, the ioibox unit Block IPs are defined by the DHCP server. This mode
works with DNS and DHCP mechanisms of the network that automatically handle IP
assignments. DHCP is a network server that works like an agent to maintain dynamic
IP assignment for network domains.
On initial connection, the ioibox unit automatically checks to see if there is a DHCP
(automatic IP assignment) feature on the network. If the ioibox unit is connected to a
non –DHCP network, or the DHCP fails to respond, the factory shipped Block IPs are
used.
If the network uses DHCP, the ioibox unit will request and use the IP numbers provided by the
DHCP.
Note: if you are using DHCP, it is recommended that the network be configured to associate
the MAC address with the DHCP assigned IP number. This will help prevent problems with
DHCP giving away a unit’s IP to another device.
Note: Selection of DHCP option when DHCP server is not available may cause the unit to
default to an arbitrary IP address that may be incompatible with the network making the unit
not visible on the network.

Resetting ioibox Units
There are two ways to reset the ioibox units:
• Hard Reset Using the Reset Button on the unit
• Hard Reset Power Down and Power Up
Hard Reset Using the Reset Button on the Unit
The ioibox unit has a Reset button located on the back of the ioibox unit that can be pressed to
reset a ioibox unit. Each reset button applies to the pair of channels as labeled on the ioibox unit
and will reset the DSP software on both channels.

Camera Installation & Tips
The following provides general guidelines for configuring stationary and Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ)
cameras.
•The ioiboxes only support analog signal and the Video Input of the TRK
unit white balance signal should be 1V p/p
• Connected video should be live when the TRK-unit is powered on.
• If the camera model supports Onscreen Displays, these displays should be
disabled.
•Analog PTZ cameras must have auto-focus. Assure that the camera auto
focus (AF) is enabled and manual focus (MF) disabled.
•For PTZ cameras, if the camera model has an automatic backlighting
feature (BLC), disabled it.
•Position the camera as best possible to avoid scenes that directly view the
sun at periods of the day.
•On cameras that have extendable sun shields, extend them as far as
possible – this increases the possibility of the sunshield protecting from
effects of the sun and the lens from dust and weather.
• If the camera model has image stabilizer functionality, it should be enable.
• If the camera has built-in motion detection, disable it
• If the PTZ camera model supports privacy masking features, all privacy
masks should be disabled.
• If the PTZ camera model has proportional pan and tilt, it must be disabled.
• If the camera has OSD, they should be disabled.
• If the camera model has a shutter speed setting that is automatically
reduced during night, disable this functionality.
•The camera should be adjusted for clarity of the objects and not
necessarily the best aesthetics. Adjust the sharpness, brightness, and gain
(on the camera itself) should be optimally set to this effect.
•Adjust the focus as follows:
o For all cameras, adjust the focus during the day to best view of the area
of interest. Final focusing always during the night
o For day night cameras that have two ca mera, adjust each camera for it
day or night application to best view of the area of interest
•For the lens of the camera:
o Many standard camera s lenses automatically filter out infrared during the
daytime. If you are using a camera working with infrared illumination that
is a “night” camera, select a lens that doesn’t filter out infrared. Use a lens
that compensates for daytime infrared but supports infrared at night.
o Choose a lens that provides sufficient field of view magnificatio n, so that
the intruders can be detected at the depths required for the site. Note the
greater the magnification the less width in the field of view.
52
•Camera height and angles:
o For FOVs of depth where movement towards the camera is to be
detected, the camera angle and height should be adjusted based on the
FOV depth, topology/detection plane angle of intersect. In general,
greater heights with smaller inner (steeper) angles provide more
pronounced visualization of movement on the detection plane towards or
away from the camera. If to large of a camera angle (tilt approaching
parallel in relation to the detection plane) and low camera height are
used, visualization of movement towards or away from the camera will be
less pronounced. This may affect the speed of detection if an intruder
makes a precise foreword or away movement (no significant horizontal)
because the pixel distance translations will be more difficult to gauge.
One pixel change, in this situation, will be equivalent to a considerable
distance traveled. Wide-angle lenses will provide less depth capabilities
at distances, as the intruder will appear smaller at close to 90° (relation to
the primary detection plane).
o The following image shows how from the camera’s point of view the angle
at which an intruder is viewed, becomes greater at a distance, and thus
quality of visible progression towards of away from the camera is less
pronounced.
The view nearer the camera is at a steeper angle and therefore the depth
more accurate (more pixels per movement at a set distance) in
determining depth movements towards or away from the camera. If a
camera is mounted at 90° to the detection plane, an approaching object
only grows in size but does not show movement in reference to the
detection plane.
• Lighting Issues
o For scenes of depth, lighting should always be behind the camera and not
in the front. If the lighting is in front of the camera it may cause the auto
iris to automatically adjust to close light and this will reduce visibility at
depth where the light is not as strong.
o Lighting (including infrared) should not be directed at the ground in front
of the camera but is preferential that it be projected near parallel to the
ground. This is because if the foreground is brightly lit the auto iris may
adjust and reduce visibility at depth where the light is not as strong.
53
o If using white or yellow lighting, use a LUX meter and measure the
lighting by facing the meter down. The reading for areas that will support
detection in white or yellow light cameras should read at 5lux or greater.
o If using an infrared illuminator, check that the sensitivity of the camera
chip matches the illuminator specifications.
• Camera placement:
o The tripwire functionality performs optimally when the camera is positioned to
point down the tripwire line of separation.
Overhead view of an optimal camera view down the line of a tripwire
o When the PTZ synchronization is used, the PTZ camera must translate
the stationary cameras three-dimensional coordinates to its own preset
scene coordinated. In a previous paragraph the inherent effects of angle
and gauging distance was discussed. In a situation where the stationary
camera sends a less than precise depth coordinate, most often
synchronization can overcome errors using the other two coordinates. If
however, the PTZ camera is at a near 90 intersect with a stationary
camera the margin of error in distance coordinate beco mes more
pronounced as individual pixels can translate into several meters on the
horizontal pan of the PTZ.
For planning the intersection angles of a PTZ and stationary camera, the
following guides for understanding the level of accuracy on a PTZ handoff
at the different PTZ to stationary intersect angles (horizontal) for different
visual & camera angles (vertical) on a stationary camera:
For a stationary camera with a low camera angle or visual angle (vertical)
the following shows the advantages and disadvantages of intersecting
between a PTZ camera (
) and a stationary camera:
54
For a stationary camera with medium camera angle or visual angle
(vertical) the following shows the various qualities at installation angles
where the PTZ and stationary synch share (horizontal intersect angles) a
view of an intruder:
o For a stationary came ra with a steep camera angle or visual angle
(vertical angle) the following shows the qualities at installation angles
where the PTZ and stationary synch share (horizontal intersect angles) a
view of an intruder:
o If an area is sizable and re quires more than one camera place the
cameras so that the field of views overlap sufficiently so that there are no
dead zones between them. Factors of lens selection, camera height,
depth and width of view will determine the capabilities of the cameras to
cover any given FOV area. The overlap should be such that the area of
overlap provides the ability to view the full top-to-bottom height of an
intruder by the camera covering the dead zone of another camera.
55
o Cameras should be pla ce so that one camera provides an overlapping
view of the other. In this way, should an attempt to tamper or disable a
camera can be capture in the surveillance FOV of the covering camera.
o When determining camera height and installation area, consideration for
accessing the camera for maintenance, camera security, lighting
qualities, cabling requirements (factors signal degradation) and FOV
coverage should all be considered.
• PTZ Cameras
o If the PTZ Camera support s digital zoom, the digital zoom should be
disabled or adjusted to full zoom out. Current support for zoom uses
optical zoom commands.
o If the camera supports zoom speed settings, refer to the ioimage support
downloads on the ioimage website (www.ioimage.com) for tech sheet on
the optimal setting.
56
o Disconnect any attached keyboards or controllers except for ioibox unit
connection. Use of a splitter and dual controls may cause interference
with ioibox unit operations.
o If the camera model supports sync settin gs, ch ange the synch setting to
internal synchronization.
•Regular cleaning and maintenance of the camera should be scheduled.

How to find out what IP
is being used
The ioibox unit Block IP
is already in use by
another computer
(collision)
The ioibox unit has
different IP than what is
marked on the box.
•Check the power is turned on at the source, includes checking
GFI, Breakers, UPS, etc.
•Check the power supply connections to the ioibox unit, between
the IEC cord and to the power source.
• Reset the ioibox unit.
• Check the power supply is working.
• Unplug the ioibox unit and have it serviced.
• Check that the network is working.
• Check that the Ethernet cable is properly attached.
• Check the Ethernet cables for damage and replace as needed.
• Run the SiteConfigurator this will listen on the network for all
active units.
•Using the ioibox HTML setup or SiteConfigurator application to
change the ioibox IP after connecting to it directly (not through
the system network).
•If this is the initial setup and the ioibox unit is using an IP other
than the IP marked on the unit, chances are that you network
uses DHCP that has dynamically assigned a network
compatible IP when the ioibox unit was initially installed. This
should not be a problem. Note that you should contact the
Network Administrator and see if there is a DHCP feature for
assigning the same IP to a specific ioibox unit MAC address.
This will assure the IP does not change in the future.
•If there is no DHCP feature on the network, then the ioibox unit
may have been configured to a different IP or the label on the
unit is incorrect.
•You can change the IP if necessary; see the
section (page 47).

The DHCP has changed
the ioibox unit IP and
given the initial IP to a
different device
•Because DHCP is a dynamic agent that provides IPs to
requestors, there is a possibility that an IP can be mistakenly
given away. Consult your Network Administrator about
preventing this situation. Commonly there is the ability in the
DHCP mechanism to link IP numbers to MAC addresses. By
doing so, this will instruct the DHCP not to give the IP to another
device.
