Introduction

WebCCTV is a unique digital video surveillance solution, which combines three major
functions in one Network Video Recorder (NVR) or Digital Video Recorder (DVR): local
digital recording, multiplexing and simultaneous transmission of the video via existing
networks (TCP/IP). To a standard WebCCTV, up to 20 cameras can be permanently recorded
while multiple operators at different locations on the network are accessing the WebCCTV
device.

Being a networked device, WebCCTV utilizes two basic principles of the
Internet/Intranet technology:
 WebCCTV works over the TCP/IP network protocol, which provides maximum

connectivity. This means that the existing computer network infrastructure can be
used eliminating extra installation expenses.

 WebCCTV uses a web-based user interface to view live images, recordings, etc.

More specific it uses Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Remote and Local Monitoring

To remotely monitor the connected cameras, the
WebCCTV uses Web Browser technology. To
locally monitor video, the WebCCTV also
provides a local interface via a PC monitor
directly connected to the WebCCTV. This local
interface allows an operator to see live video
from the connected cameras without the need
for additional client computers on a network.

Serial Port POS is the WebCCTV alarm component which allows transformation of the POS
printer transactions into WebCCTV alarms. In other words: when the ticket is printed by the
POS terminal, the alarm is triggered within the WebCCTV system, so you are able to observe
all transactions and recordings which are recorded based on the incoming transaction data into
the WebCCTV system. To configure this system you need to perform the following steps:

 Connect the POS printer you want to control by means of WebCCTV to the serial port

(COM port) of any computer in your network.

 Install and configure the Remote POS Monitor application on this computer.

 Install and configure the Alarm Component on the WebCCTV server.

After all configurations Remote POS Monitor will capture the transactions which come from
the POS printer connected to the COM port and send it to the WebCCTV server. The Alarm
Component, which is installed on the WebCCTV server, will generate the alarm.

1 Getting Started

1.1 Handling POS Transactions

The POS menu of the Video Browser application allows handling the incoming POS
transactions. You are able to observe the transaction name, date, time and recorded footage
according to the settings you made.

To start working with the POS application you need to open the WebCCTV Video Browser
page (there is a shortcut on your desktop) and press the POS button (marked as 1 on the
picture). You will then see a screen with the message ‘No signal’. Press the button with the
name of your camera (mark 2), this will enable the camera and you will see the stream.

The Alarm Component has to be installed to see the menu.
