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 system is
comprised of the following four components:

The ISEE-VCAM1 is a high quality IP video camera that provides video
images with a maximum of 640 x 480 lines of resolution that can be viewed
through the VideoAlert.net server on virtually any computer in the world at up
to 25 fps. The ISEE-VCAM1 provides pixel based motion detection that,
when activated, will prompt the transmission of video clips to the
VideoAlert.net server. The ISEE-VCAM1 provides (at no additional service
charge) dynamic IP support through a DNS server - every time the broadband

modem's IP address changes, it checks in with its DNS server to insure that
the DHCP IP address is always kept current.

The ISEE-EOP-MOD200 is an 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 ISEE-VCAM1 to
communicate with the G-BOX interface module 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 (Patents Pending) is an Internet Video accessory that allows the
"Plug & Play" installation of the ISEE-VCAM1 camera system. Many other
devices that allow direct connection to the internet require re-configuration of
the router, but not the G-BOX. The G-BOX segments the network,

automatically detects and properly forwards the data intended for the ISEE-
VCAM1 or to the customer's computer/router, as required. 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 provides 4 auto-sensing
LAN ports for connection to the ISEE-VCAM1 through the ISEE-EOP-
MOD200 and to the customer's PC, router or other equipment. This
revolutionary new device totally eliminates the need for TCP/IP and network
trained professionals for typical ISEE-VCAM1 installations, now allowing
standard alarm personnel to quickly and easily install these IP devices. The
G-BOX functions as both a DHCP client and server, to fit seamlessly into all
typical DHCP environments.

The NAPCO VideoAlert.net server maintains VideoAlert accounts and allows
subscribers to view their ISEE-VCAM1 camera 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 pre-alarm 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-VCAM1 AND G-BOX

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-VCAM1 cameras and ISEE-EOP MOD200 modules, (page 5)

2 Install the G-BOX and its ISEE-EOP MOD200 module. (page 6)

3 Activate the new ISEE-VCAM1 account on the VideoAlert server. (page 7)

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

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

1 INSTALLING THE ISEE-VCAM1

• The ISEE-VCAM1 camera is designed for table top, wall or ceiling mounting. Install bracket at desired location and
attach the camera body to bracket.

Table top mount

• Plug camera power cable into

POWER and CAT5 into LAN jacks.

• Connect the other end of the CAT5 cable to the ISEE-EOP-MOD200 Ethernet-Over-Power module

• Plug ISEE-EOP-MOD200 module and camera power supply into AC wall outlet

• Repeat for each camera to be installed.

Wall mount

Ceiling mount

LAN jacks.

EOP module must

be plugged directly

into wall outlet

Note: If AC power-strips
are required due to un­available AC outlets, non
surge protected or noise
filtered power-strips must
be used. Many AC power­strips utilize internal surge
protection that may pre­vent the EOP modules
from operating.

CONNECT THE G-BOX TO ROUTER

1. Record the ISEE-VCAM1 Security Code (bottom label, example: SC106763) which will
be needed in the subsequent registration steps:

2. Power-down existing network devices (i.e. Cable Modem, Router, etc.).

3. Connect the Cable or DSL Modem to the G-BOX WAN port.

4. Connect ISEE-EOP-MOD200 to any G-BOX LAN port.

5. If necessary, you may connect existing PC to any available LAN port --OR--if customer
has a router, connect the router WAN port to any available LAN port.

5. Power Up all the devices. Several minutes may be required for the
DHCP sessions to take place.

IMPORTANT: For installations on Cable Internet systems, power

down cable modem for 10 minutes, then power up the complete
system to allow ISP to synch with the MAC address of the G-BOX.
