Precautions

In case of problem

Do not use the video server if smoke or a strange odour comes from the unit, or if it seems not to function correctly. Disconnect the power cord immediately, and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre).

Do not open or modify

Do not open the cabinet, as it may be dangerous and cause damage to the unit. For internal settings and repairs, consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre).

Do not put objects inside the unit

Make sure that no metal objects or flammable substance get inside the video server. If used with a foreign object inside, it could cause a fire, short-circuits or damages.

If water or a liquid gets inside the video server, disconnect the power cord immediately, and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre). Be careful to protect the video server from rain, sea water, etc.

Be careful when handling the unit

To prevent damages, do not drop the video server or subject it to strong shock or vibration.

Install away from electric or magnetic fields

If installed close to a TV, radio transmitter, magnet, electric motor, transformer, audio speakers the magnetic field they generate will distort the image.

Protect from humidity and dust

To prevent damages to the video server, do not install it where there is greasy smoke or steam, where the dampness may get too high, or where there is a lot of dust.

Protect from high temperatures

Do not install close to stoves, or other heat generating devices, such as spotlights, etc., or where it could be subject to direct sunlight, as that could cause deformation, discoloration or other damages.

Be careful when installing close to the ceiling, in a kitchen or boiler room, as the temperature may raise to high levels.

Install where the temperature range will stay between –10°C and 50°C. (no condensation)

Cleaning

Dirt can be removed from the cabinet by

•

wiping it with a soft cloth. To remove stains, wipe with a soft cloth moistened with a soft detergent solution and wrung dry, then wipe dry with dry soft cloth.

Do not use benzine, thinner or other

•

chemical product on the cabinet, as that may cause deformation and paint peeling. Before using a chemical cloth, make sure to read all accompanying instructions. Make sure that no plastic or rubber material comes in contact with the cabinet for a long period of time, as that may cause damage or paint peeling.

Web Server Function

This video server is equipped with a web server function. The video server can be accessed using a computer’s web browser in order to view images for up to four input signals (4 screen split screen). In addition, up to a maximum of 16 users can simultaneously access a single video server on the network.

Network Connections

This video server is equipped with both an Ethernet connector and an RS-232C connector, allowing it to be connected to a variety of different network environments, such as LANs and the Internet.

Wireless LAN Compatibility

The video server can also be used in a wireless LAN environment by installing the specified wireless LAN card.

Adoption of JPEG2000

The images captured by the video server are compressed using the JPEG2000 format before transmission. In comparison to conventional JPEG formats, this format produces very little image deterioration and allows large volumes of data to be transmitted quickly (maximum 30 fps).

Note: The transmission rate will vary depending

on individual network conditions. A network environment that can transmit data at high speeds is required in order to transmit data at 30 fps.

Alarm Recording and Playback Functions

The built-in motion sensor detects movement, and the video server can also be connected to an external alarm sensor that is set to detect abnormalities, so that images can be recorded and played back when an alarm occurs.

Communication function (RS-485)

Communication output via SSP (Sanyo Security Protocol) (using the RS-485 connector) allows the video server to be controlled by other devices such as cameras and multiplexers by remote control.
