Your IP address can also be found within your Router settings. Refer to your router user guide for further details.

Router Port Forwarding

How do I enable Port Forwarding on my Router?

You will need to enable port forwarding on your Router to allow for external communications with your Observation System.

Computers, Observation Systems, and other devices inside your network can only communicate directly with each other within the internal network. Computers and systems outside your network cannot directly communicate with these devices. When a system on the internal network needs to send or receive information from a system outside the network (i.e.. from the Internet), the information is sent to the Router.

NETWORK EXAMPLE

Router

External IP

216.13.154.34

Internet

When a computer on the Internet needs to send data to your internal network, it sends this data to the external IP address of the Router. The Router then needs to decide where this data is to be sent to. This is where setting up Port Forwarding becomes important.

Port Forwarding tells the router which device on the internal network to send the data to. When you set up port forwarding on your Router, it takes the data from the external IP address:port number and sends that data to an internal IP address:port number (i.e Router External IP

216.13.154.34:5000 to Observation System Internal IP 192.168.0.3:5000).

Troubleshooting

When a malfunction occurs, it may not be serious and can be corrected easily. The following describes the most common problems and solutions. Please refer to the following before calling your Observation System dealer

Problem:

Observation System Unit is not receiving power, or is not powering up

Check:

• Confirm that all cables are connected correctly

• Confirm that the ON/OFF (I/O) switch on the rear of the unit (beside the power cable connection) is ON (in the I position)

• Confirm that there is power at the outlet:

z Connecting the power cable to another outlet z Test the outlet with another plugged device (such as an electric calculator or

phone charger)

• If the unit is connected through a power bar or surge protector, try bypassing the bar and connecting the power directly to the wall outlet

Problem:

Observation System is not responding when any of the buttons are pushed or does not come out of STANDBY MODE

Check:

• Turn the master power switch OFF using the (I/O) switch on the rear of the unit (beside the power cable connection):

z Press the (I/O) switch to the OFF position (O) z Wait for 1 minute - all LED light indicators on the front of the unit will be

off

z Press the (I/O) switch to the ON position (I)

The unit will make an audible alert when powered back on

Troubleshooting

Problem:

The image on the Observation System is too dark or too bright

Check:

• Adjust the CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS of the unit (Refer to the Menu section)

Problem:

The image on the Observation System does appears, but does not have sound

Check:

• Check the VOLUME

• Check the CAMERA connection to the Observation System

• Confirm that the Camera has sound capabilities (Refer to the manual for the camera model for further information on the Camera functionality)

Problem:

The picture on the Observation System is poor, shrinks or flickers

Check:

• Check the camera video cable and connections

• Disconnect and reconnect the cable at the Observation System and at the Camera

• Clean the camera lens

• Adjust the CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS settings in the Menu (Page 31)

• Check that the Camera is not in direct sunlight

Problem:

There is no picture appearing on a Channel / Camera is not displaying

Check:

• Check the camera video cable and connections

• Disconnect and reconnect the cable at the Observation System and at the Camera

Try moving the camera to another channel or use another cable

Connecting to a Single Channel DVR / VCR - Appendix #3

The SG15F6584 Observation System can be used with a Single Channel DVR or VCR unit (not included)

1. Connect the Video cable from the VIDEO OUT port on the Observation System to the VIDEO IN port on the DVR or VCR Unit

2. Connect the AUDIO cable from the AUDIO OUT port on the Observation System to the AUDIO IN port on the DVR or VCR unit (if available)

DVR NOTE:

When recording to a Digital Video Recorder, the DVR may indicate a Video Loss as the monitor sequences between channels. This Video Loss occurs because the monitor’s switching function is analogue, whereas the DVR is a digital product. Therefore a synchronization problem will result.

The solution to this problem is to adjust the Video Loss alarm sensitivity setting to 3 frames on your DVR unit, or simply disable the video loss function on your DVR. Please refer to the manual for your specific model of DVR for further information.

OBSERVATION SYSTEM

VCR NOTE:

Ensure the Standard VCR channel is set to A/V Mode in order to ensure reception. Consult the manual for your specific VCR for setting the A/V settings.
