Overview of the iSeeVideo VideoAlert.net System

The NAPCO iSeeVideo VideoAlert.net system allows remote video

internet monitoring of residential and light commercial properties. Its
unique subscription-based account system provides the opportunity to
realize recurring revenue from typical CCTV video installations.

The iSeeVideo ISEE-SCHGW is a Single Channel Video Gateway that
converts any analog CCTV camera into internet ready IP camera. Using
MPEG4 compression, it provides video images with a maximum of 704 x
480 lines of resolution that can be viewed through the iSeeVideo
VideoAlert server on virtually any computer in the world at up to 30 frames
per second. The Gateway provides an input trigger that when activated,
will prompt the transmission of video clips to the VideoAlert.net server. It
also has a local video output that provides a local video signal for
connection to a monitor or for local distribution using a video modulator.
The Gateway provides (at no additional service charge) dynamic IP

support through the NAPCO iSeeVideo DNS server - every 16 seconds
the Gateway checks in with its DNS server to insure that the DHCP IP
address is always kept current.

The ISEE-EOP-MOD200 is an optional Ethernet-Over-Power module that
allows the transmission of video signals over the existing power lines of a
home or business. The simple Plug-n-Play installation allows the
iSeeVideo devices to connect to the G-BOX or Customer’s router by
simply connecting the devices to their respective EOP modules and then
into the electrical outlets. The modules create a powerline network ideal
for the transmission of video signals at up to 200 megabits per second.
The EOP modules are fully capable of transmitting data across the phases
of typical residential multiphase power systems.

The G-BOX (Patented) is an optional Internet Video accessory that allows
optimum performance on cable broadband service installations by
establishing a point to point connection between the video gateway and
the PC. The G-BOX is designed to be placed between the broadband
modem and router, and also functions as a router for cases where the
customer's PC is the only device connected to the broadband modem.
The G-BOX will also function as a switch if devices are plugged into the
LAN ports. provides 4 auto-sensing LAN ports for connection to the ISEE-

SCHGW

BOX functions as both a DHCP client and server, to fit seamlessly into
all typical DHCP environments. The G-BOX also functions as a switch
in cases where additional port expansion is required.

Internet

The NAPCO VideoAlert.net server maintains VideoAlert accounts and
allows subscribers to view their ISEE-SCHGW gateway from any personal
computer or web enabled cell phone. It is compatible with computers
running the Microsoft Windows

®

, Apple® and Linux® operating systems
and is also compatible with any WAP enabled cell phone or mobile video
device. The server also automatically notifies the subscriber by email
upon receipt of triggered video events and archives them for viewing at a
later time. Each subscriber account provides 50Mb of storage, allowing
the archiving of about (75) 10 second video clips (adjustable 5 sec pre­alarm and 5 sec post-alarm). The server is designed to allow the customer
to have complete control of their account in regard to passwords, email
addresses and other personal information.

INSTALLING, ACTIVATING AND CONFIGURING THE ISEE-SCHGW

The installation and activation of the VideoAlert system has been designed to be "plug and play", requiring no special
training or tools and no knowledge of TCP/IP or networking for typical installations. The primary installation steps de­picted below are covered in detail on the following pages:

1 Install the ISEE-SCHGW gateways and cameras, (page 5)

2 Wire The Network Connection. (page 6)

3 Activate the new ISEE-SCHGW account on the VideoAlert server. (page 7)

4 Configure the gateway for motion detection triggering (Optional) (Page 12).

(Optional) The gateway may be configured for motion detection on-line by simply going to www.VideoAlert.net
and entering the gateway security code number printed on the sticker on the bottom of the gateway.

VIDEO OUT (Optional)

To provide a video signal to local monitor or video distribution system, connect to video out terminal.

Audio LINE / MIC IN (Optional)

Connect a standard PC compatible microphone to the 3.5mm LINE/MIC Input for 2 way audio operation.

Audio LINE OUT (Optional)

Connect a powered speaker to the 3.5mm LINE OUT jack for 2 way audio operation.

NETWORK LED

Flashes to indicate an active network connection.

ACTIVE LED

Flashes to indicate that video device is being accessed (viewed).

POWER

Lights to indicate that module power is present.

ETHERNET

Connect CAT5 cable from broadband modem or network to RJ-45 terminal.

POWER

Connect to supplied 12VDC power adapter.

TRIGGER INPUT TERMINALS

To initiate transmission of video to the VideoAlert.net server, wire a normally closed relay across the DO and DI terminals.
A momentary open across this connection will trigger video. The trigger input feature must be activated in Advanced Fea­tures (page 14).

Note: Prior to using the audio
feature, it is recommended that
the viewer/listener obtain any
required advance consent of the
occupants of the premises.

Cable Modem Service Installation

The use of the optional G-BOX in Cable Broadband service applications is highly recommended to provide optimum
frame rate and resolution performance. Follow the installation and connection steps below:

NOTE: If no G-BOX is available, the Cable installation may be wired in same configuration as DSL Modem, below.

1 Power down Cable Modem and Router.
2 Wire G-BOX in standard configuration as shown

(G-BOX WAN to Modem WAN).

3 Wait 15 minutes and power up Cable Modem.
4 Wait 1 minute and power up G-BOX, then Cus-

tomer’s Router.

5 Test local PC for Internet connectivity (open internet

browser and browse internet).

6 Go to www.VideoAlert.net and click NEW ACTIVATION to activate account.

 Some ISP providers lock onto the MAC address of the first device after the modem. Powering down the

modem for 15 minutes will force the ISP to recognize the new MAC address of the G-BOX upon power up.

DSL Broadband Modem Installation

1 Power down DSL Modem and Router.
2 Wire as shown.
3 Wait 15 minutes and power up Modem.
4 Wait 1 minute and power up VIP Devices and

then Customer’s Router.

5 Go to www.VideoAlert.net and click NEW ACTIVATION to activate account.

ISP Type cannot be identified

In some commercial applications, it may not be possible to identify the type of ISP, or identify the modem or routers that may
be in front of the internet connection provided by the subscriber. In these cases, wire as shown below:

1 Connect the VIP devices directly into the network connection as shown (typically an network RJ45 jack connected to a

router). This corresponding port on the router must provide access to the internet.

2 Power up the VIP Device.
3 Go to www.VideoAlert.net and click NEW ACTIVATION to activate account.

 This configuration will work for most commercial installations. If there is no Internet connectivity, there may be an enter-

prise class router and firewall between the network jack and the outside internet connection. This connection can be
completed by asking the IT professional to open this port to the outside world.

NOTE: If additional ports are required, the G-BOX may be used as a switch

1 Power down all devices to be connected to the G-BOX.
2 Connect the devices to the G-BOX LAN ports as

shown.

3 Power up all devices, wait one minute, power

down and then up again to ensure proper switch
operation.
