Introduction

High-quality, high efficiency video & audio transmission via IP network

The network surveillance camera allows you to view live video over internet. Your control center can be set up anywhere with internet access without being restricted by locations. Surveillance video is processed by the most up-to date compression technology and transmitted in MPEG-4 compression format, whose transmission efficiency and video quality remain uncompromised by the network, minimizing the lagging of live surveillance video. In addition, wireless LAN is also supported. The wireless model makes the network usage more handy without the hassle of cable installation.

Great usability in every surveillance aspect

The network surveillance camera’s ease of use begins with its web-based user

- Page 8 -

interface, using Microsoft Internet Explorer to browse the live video or the provided Windows client Surveillance Management Center(SMC) that offers many additional benefits: its user interface can display video up to 9 camera servers at the same time. Recording can also be done simultaneously and you can use it to view recorded video from the archive and backup your recorded file with audio.

Unparalleled surveillance functions where nothing slips through your watch

The network surveillance camera’s motion detection function sends out the alarm when any movement of any object occurring on the scene is detected, which makes it ideal for home and after-hour facility security. 16 preset positions can be programmed and the auto-cruise function will make the tour accordingly as if you were taking the patrol rounds in person.

You can also program the cameras to take snapshots or record video when the alarm is triggered by the event. These snapshots can be transmitted via FTP or email. Event recording is done by a client PC on the network as the camera sends snapshot in JPEG format as part of the responses to the triggered event.

Optional centralized management software for large scale surveillance services

The software suite performs as a central control station on a client PC that controls, manages, and monitors up to 9 network surveillance camera server units over the network at the same time. You can talk to your surveillance camera just by a click on the managed camera to start 2-way audio conversation. The flexible and diversified SMC offer you handy surveillance solution on Windows platform.

Connections and Functions

Both NSC3615 / NSC3621 equip with 1DI / 1DO connector and PC compatible mono microphone and speaker. You can also find 2 pinholes (NSC3615:rear view / NSC3621: back side view of bottom) on surveillance camera. One is Factory Default and the other one is Reset. Factor y De fa ult brings all camera setting to factory default setting and Reset triggers a warm system reboot when the pinhole is pushed by a needle for 2 seconds(and release afterwards).

LED Indication

Network LED : BLUE

- OFF : network link down or service unavailable

- ON : network link is up

- Blinking : in/out traffic on going System 1 LED : YELLOW

- No RTP packet traffic

- RTP received from remote peer (periodic flashing, 0.5 second on, 0.5 second off) System 2 LED :YELLOW

- OFF : Do not register to SIP server

- Blinking : 4 times per second

- ON : register to SIP server OK

DIDO Connector

The first pinhole pair is for DI connectors and second one is for DO device connectors. Beware of the polarity of DI device(+ :first pinhole on the leftist side, - :2nd pinhole from the left, both are for DI device connectors). You don’t need to care about polarity for DO device since there is a relay equipped on those 2 pinholes connections (from right hand side). The hardware specification of DI device is as the following. Connect customer-tailored DIDO device with care and make sure devices won’t overload surveillance camera’s DIDO interface.

DI : 0 ~ 12V(with 5V logic trigger) / 20 mA(minimum) DO: 30VDC / 1A
