Introduction
1
This Chapter provides details of the IVS-100's features, components
and capabilities.
Overview
PLANET IVS-100 digitizes the analog video and transmits them at full frame rate over
IP network, enabling remote viewing of video in real time on a local area network or
the Internet. The video server also provides built-in video motion detection and powerful event management features based on triggered or scheduled events. In addition,
IVS-100 offers a complete set of security features such as IP address filtering and
multi-level password protection.
Receive video & field monitoring via standard web browser from any networked computer at anytime without boundary in the world. PLANET Internet Video server IVS100 can have all these digital benefits without repeated investments in an analog system.
PLANET IVS-100 video server can be integrated easily with existing analog Closed
Circuit Television (CCTV) system. PLANET IVS distributes digital images directly over
an IP-based computer network, essentially turning analog cameras into digital network
cameras. System administrators are able to view live images from a standard Web
browser anywhere around the world.

IVS-100 can be deployed in many different situations, such as library, train station
or factory production line to provide efficient, human-resource reducing, and offers flexibility, affordability, and reliability for the proper surveillance of
manufacturing facilities.
• Multi-Platform support
Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-mail, and HTTP public network standards,
IVS-100 can be applied and utilized to a mixed IP network environment.
• Motion Detection
This feature will send you alert message when motion is detected. The IVS-100
will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the movement of
large objects.
Audio Support
•
With built-in RCA audio interface, the voice around can be recorded with live image.
Internet Features
• User-definable administration port number.
This allows Internet Gateways to use “port mapping” so the IVS-100 and a Web
Server can share the same Internet IP address.
DDNS Support
•
In order to view video over Internet, user must know the Internet IP address of the
gateway used by IVS-100. An easy-to-remember DDNS (Dynamic DNS) name
will help you memorize your site more easily.
NTP (Network-Time-Protocol) Support
•
NTP allows the IVS-100 to calibrate its internal clock from an Internet TimeServer. This ensures that the time stamp on the recorded video from the IVS-100
will be correct.
Security Features
• User Authentication
If desired, IVS-100 access can be restricted to known users. Users will have to
enter their username and password before being able to view the video stream.
Up to 10 users can be entered.
IP filter
•
IVS-100 access not only can be restricted by username/password, but also can
be limited by the IP range to bring users more security.

• Restore Default IP Address, Administrator ID, and A
istrator password.
• IP address: 192.168.0.20
• Administrator ID: admin
• Administrator Password: null (no password)
Reset steps:
• Power off the Video server.
• Insert the paper clip or other tool and press and hold the
button down continuously.
• Power on the Video server again.
• Wait at least 8 seconds and release the tool. Then the

Installation
1. Attach video signal source to the IVS-100
To use Video Server, it is required to supply video signal to this device. Typical,
user may utilize standard camera, doom camera, bullet camera, PT camera, Speed
doom camera, or others as the video source. Connect the BNC terminal of camera
securely to IVS-100’s video input and make sure to power on the external camera
first.
IVS-100 Installation
2. Attach audio signal source to the IVS-100 (optional)
If user needs not only video stream but also audio stream, then the audio source
is attached to Video Server at the time. User may utilize line output of standard
camera or audio amplifier, or others as the audio source. Connect the RCA terminal of audio device’s line output to IVS-100’s RCA input and make sure to power
on your camera or audio device first.
3. Connect Ethernet cable to the IVS-100
Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN socket located on IVS-100’s front panel and
attach it to the network.
4. Supply power to the IVS-100
Connect the supplied power adapter to the IVS-100 and power up. Use only the
power adapter provided. Using a different one may cause hardware damage.

5. Check the LEDs
When powering on machine, the status LED will turn green. It means the system is
booting up successfully. Furthermore, if you have a proper network connection, and
access to the IVS-100, the 10/100M LAN LED will flash orange
6. Connect the RS485 interface
When users would like to apply a camera with Pan / Tilt function, they usually need
to connect their communication port (for camera control) through RS485. After
RS-485 securely connected to D+ and D-, the remote users could control IVS-100
through Internet.
