AUDIO STREAMING AND ANALYTIC SYSTEM
DATASHEET AND QUICK START GUIDE
DIGIFACT E
DESCRIPTION
The Digifact™ E is a networked audio monitoring and streaming device which streams audio over
several industry standard RTP protocols. The Digifact E is enclosed in a NEMA rated housing that
™
is suitable for outdoor use. The wide dynamic range microphone supports a wide frequency
response capable of picking up low and high frequency sounds. The device features a robust quadcore microprocessor that has the capability of integrating signal processing applications, audio
enhancements and analytic applications. Analytic applications can be added to the device to detect
and report events such as:
- Aggression/Duress
- Gunshots/Explosions
- Breaking Glass
- Car/Panic Alarms

MOUNTING
The Digifact Model E can either be surface mounted or strapped to a pole using the optional Louroe pole
mount accessory kit (not included).
NETWORK, POWER AND OUTPUT CONNECTION
A moisture resistant Female Rj45 jack is located on the bottom of the unit for 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
PoE connection using CAT5/6 cable. If no PoE connection is available (network only) the device can be
powered off 5V DC 2A external power supply (not included). Four alarm outputs are also available,
details of the pin-outs of the power and alarm outputs terminal block are depicted below. The external
power and alarm output cable assembly should be wired through the provided moisture resistant cable
gland to preserve the moisture resistance of the unit.
ALARM OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Four digital alarm output ports are available for connection to external devices, the alarm
outputs can be set to trigger from analytic and volume threshold events. The output ports are
“open drain” type outputs. If used with an inductive load, e.g. a relay, a diode must be
connected in parallel with the load, for protection against voltage transients.
™
Note: Output 1,2,3,4 connect to pin 1 (5V)
when active, floating (unconnected) when
deactivated. If connecting to a “dry
contact” input, a 5V relay should be
connected between the output and input
ports of the two devices.

DEVICE DISCOVERY AND DEFAULT PASSWORD CHANGE
DEVICE DISCOVERY
The Digifact E is by default set to obtain an IP address from the network it is connected to (DHCP), hence it
must be connected to a suitable DHCP server. To discover the device on a network, the following commands
need to be run through windows powershell to locate the device name;
dns-sd -B _simic._tcp
NOTE: Apple bonjour needs to be pre-installed on the PC where the powershell commands are being
executed.
Once the device name has been located, the following script must be run:
dns-sd -G v4 <devicename>.local
to locate the device IP address:
The device IP address can them be typed into an internet browser to
(Google Chrome is recommended)
access the device user interface page.
DEFAULT PASSWORD CHANGE
On first use the default password for the device is;
username: admin
password: admin
After entering the above information, the device will request the user to change the default password
Once the default password has been changed the device prompts to re-enter the new password to login
to the device.

spectrogram, listen live control, ability to add analytic licenses as well as access to the other device parameter
pages.
Device firmware: System and firmware updates can be periodically updated from
www.louroe.com
Acoustic Monitoring settings: Allows for enabling level triggering, setting level threshold, adjustment of
streaming volume level (dB), adjustment of time and volume over ambient threshold (for analytic applications).
Sound Detector activity: Graphic representation of sound activity level and classification (for analytic
applications) of audio signals detected by the device.
Live audio: Allows for enabling/disabling of live audio stream played from the speakers of the device from
where the device user interface is being accessed.
Add Analytics License: Used to add audio analytic detector application licenses to the device, note clicking
on the button displays a dialog page with the serial number of the device, using the serial number licenses can
be requested by either calling Louroe customer service at: 1-818-994-6498 and/or emailing the serial number
